Abstract EN
Background : domestic violence is one of the major health problems among women.
Promoting preventive behaviors of domestic violence among women and girls can play crucial role in reducing this health problem.
Objectives : this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of an intervention based on PRECEDE-PROCEED Model on preventive behaviors of domestic violence among Iranian high school girls.
Patients and Methods: An interventional study was completed during 2010-2011 in 10 high schools in the district 17 of Tehran municipality with 510 female students.
We used the components of the PRECEDE-PROCEED Model for planning, implementation and evaluation of the program.
Based on the results of need assessment, an appropriate environmental and educational intervention was implemented in the intervention group.
Changes in predisposing, reinforcing, enabling factors and especially preventive behaviors immediately and two months after the intervention activities were assessed by questionnaires based on PRECEDE-PROCEED Model.
Results : the intervention had significantly positive effect on predisposing, enabling and reinforcing factors immediately and two months after the intervention (P < 0.05).
Repeated measures Analysis of variance showed a significant positive increase in preventive behaviors score in the intervention group from baseline to two months.
Conclusions : the PRECEDE-PROCEED Model can be applied as a conceptual framework for identifying the relevant behavioral and environmental risk factors associated with domestic violence.
Development and implementation the skills-based education using this model can lead to the promotion of preventive behaviors of domestic violence and reduction in domestic violence cases.
