Sažetak
The Child Assault Prevention Program for Teens (Teen CAP) offers strategies to prevent abuse of teens. Teen CAP programs utilize a three- pronged approach to prevention education: training of staff, parents and children. Its curricula strategies include self-assertion, peer support, effective communication and reporting skills. In order to determine impact of the program, we included into quantitative study, 155 elementary-school pupils, 112 parents of elementary and pre-school children and 77 school workers and study was designed as longitudinal study with 3 point measurements. Evaluation of the program's impact on young people shows students better recognize various forms of sexual harassment/abuse, verbal comments about body parts, jokes with sexual content, consequences of sharing own or other people's intimate photos/video clips on social networks without their permission. Also, it is stated that the program has an impact on the knowledge of their rights, self-confidence, knowledge and attitudes about sexual harassment/abuse. Also, after participating in the program pupils report greater knowledge of 10 out of the 12 strategies that are taught in the program. It can be concluded that the program shows high effectiveness in teaching the strategies of prevention/protection from sexual harassment/abused. Also, it can be observed that important adults feel more equipped to talk with teens about strategies how to prevent violence. Main part of this presentation will refer to key findings from this 3 point impact evaluation, along with recommendation for further research on EU level due to fact that TeenCAP program is also implemented in several countries in EU.
