The Impact of Sources of Strength, a Primary Prevention Youth Suicide Program, on Sexual Violence Prevention Among Colorado High School Students
Sources of Strength is an evidence based program for youth suicide that trains student key
leaders to strengthen social connectedness and healthy norms school-wide and is listed on the
National Registry of Evidence Based Programs and Practices (NREPP). This project will expand
the existing evidence base by evaluating Sources of Strength for sexual violence outcomes in
a randomized controlled trial (RCT) in twenty-four high schools.

a randomized controlled trial (RCT) in twenty-four high schools.
At present few programs systematically address broader social-ecological factors such as
school-wide norms and youth-adult connectedness that research identifies as major drivers of
sexual violence. To address this gap, this application proposes a large-scale RCT evaluation
of Sources of Strength to evaluate for sexual violence perpetration outcomes. Sources of
Strength is an evidence based program for youth suicide that trains student key leaders to

Registry of Evidence Based Programs and Practices (NREPP). This project will expand the
existing evidence base by evaluating Sources of Strength for sexual violence outcomes, which
has never been done before. Twenty-four high schools will be recruited and stratified (rural
or urban) and randomly assigned to one of two conditions: (a) immediate Sources of Strength
intervention, (b) wait-list for Sources of Strength Implementation after 16 months.
