An Online Program for Sexual and Gender Minority Youth Reduces Alcohol Use and Teen Dating Violence: A Randomized Controlled Trial
These data provide preliminary support for PRYSHM as an efficacious intervention to reduce TDV, alcohol use, and alcohol consequences among SGMY. Dosage analyses provided additional nuance in understanding program effects, with promising findings for those receiving a higher dosage of intervention content. Research is needed using larger samples of SGMY, including SGMY with identities underrepresented in the current trial (e.g., SGMY assigned male at birth), as well as work seeking to evaluate mechanisms of change and identify the optimum program dosage. There is also a need for studies with a longer-term follow-up to evaluate the intervention's durability and whether additional booster sessions are needed.
