This study utilized a cluster randomized control trial design to evaluate a multi-abuse prevention program, the Monique Burr Foundation for Children (MBF) Child Safety Matters\u00ae, based on varying lesson structure. Participants included nine Florida schools consisting of 843 children in grades K-2. Schools were randomized within cluster to implement in two lessons, four lessons, or after study data collection (i.e., control group). Lessons averaged 34\u00a0minutes ( SD = 8.8\u00a0minutes) in length for 2-lesson group and 23.6 minutes ( SD = 6.9\u00a0minutes) for the 4-lesson condition. Knowledge was assessed before implementation and on average 11\u00a0weeks after implementation. There were no statistical differences between clusters. Controlling for pre-test scores, schools in the four-lesson group scored highest on a measure of knowledge of potentially risky and unsafe situations ( M = 69.68, SE = .80) on post-test, followed by schools in the two-lesson group ( M = 67.31, SE = .77), followed by schools in the control group ( M = 62.92, SE = .76). Results support use of more frequent, shorter lessons for prevention programs and the promise of addressing multiple forms of child victimization.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/10775595231152623","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,13]],"date-time":"2023-01-13T23:03:37Z","timestamp":1673651017000},"page":"364-374","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Randomized Control Trial of a School-Based Curriculum that Teaches About Multiple Forms of Abuse"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"29","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1638-4961","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Melissa A.","family":"Bright","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Violence Prevention Research, Gainesville, FL, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mona Sayedul","family":"Huq","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.
