U.K. Receives Grant To Test Violence Prevention Program
The Center for Disease and Prevention has provided a $2 million grant to University of Kentucky researchers, which will be paid out over a five year period. Beginning this spring, educators will use the money to provide a violence awareness program called Green Dot to 13 Kentucky high schools to determine whether a dating violence prevention program can help prevent abuse among students. Then U.K. researchers will compare surveys of students at those schools and 13 others that won't have the Green Dot program, in an effort to measure the program's effectiveness.
