Caregiver-Adolescent Dating Violence Prevention Intervention Pilot Trial

This pilot study is testing a program called FLARE, which aims to prevent dating violence among sexual and gender diverse youth (SGDY) and their trusted adults. FLARE involves in-person and online activities. We are looking for 108 participants, including youth aged 14-18 who identify as sexually or gender diverse, speak English, and can travel to Pittsburgh for one event. They also need a caregiver (18 or older) to participate. The study will compare FLARE to a resource guide, with the resource guide group getting access to FLARE later. We want to see if FLARE is acceptable and practical, and if it helps with behavioral changes. The study's current status is unclear.
