Prévention de la violence et promotion des relations harmonieuses et égalitaires: Regard croisé des membres du personnel et des étudiantes et étudiants de niveau collégial

Abstract

Dating violence (DV ) is associated with significant negative impacts on young adults mental health. There are few initiatives for preventing DV targeting youth in colleges. This studys objective is to contrast the perspectives of college personnel (n = 57) with those of students (n = 278) regarding DV prevention. Results suggest that participants have a relatively high level of knowledge regarding violence and a positive attitude toward the benefits of prevention endeavours. However, school personnel feel that they dont have enough prevention tools and are overworked. These results highlight the need to offer educational activities to support DV prevention efforts in colleges.
