This study provided a dating violence prevention
education program to 116 students (56 boys, 60
girls) in a vocational high school in Japan who learned mainly
agriculture and business and inspected the effect. We performed a program named
¡°A Program for Mutual Respect: Learning about Domestic Violence in Order to
Value Our Relationships,¡± which was composed of nineteen lessons over 100
minutes to do the class. Before the class, 61.0% of the students expressed
little knowledge about dating violence, after the taking class, 98.3% of the
students reported that it was good to know about the knowledge of dating
violence. We conducted a T-test both before and directly after the class
session on ¡°Content of Violence¡± and compared the scores. They included content
about physical, mental, sexual, and economic violence. The knowledge about the
various types of violence was more meaningful after the class than before
class. Our results show that dating violence prevention education was shown to
be effective for the vocational high school students.
