Appendicies - B Survey Analyses School-Based Efforts The survey asked questions about primary prevention efforts in schools, such as anti-bullying, good touch/bad touch issues, gender respect, dating and other programs. The majority of those responding did not conduct primary prevention in schools. Twelve percent of the respondents directed school-based efforts to elementary school children for Stalking, 25 percent for Domestic Violence and 26 percent for Sexual Assault. Thirty-five percent of the respondents targeted junior and high school students with regard to Sexual Assault and 34 percent for Domestic Violence but about 20 percent offer Stalking prevention services to this group (see Table 2). Between 19 percent and 29 percent of these respondents targeted college level students: 29 percent (Domestic Violence) of the organizations or clinics focused on college-level students, and smaller percentages were involved with Sexual Assault (26 percent) and Stalking (19 percent) efforts. Based on open-ended comments, other respondents indicated that they targeted beauty schools and salons or trained paramedics and medical students to be sensitive and recognize signs of sexual assault and/or domestic violence when treating trauma cases.

Approximately 50 percent of the responding organizations or clinics taught classes or organized training, conferences or discussions related to Sexual Assault, Assault and Domestic Violence, while 29 percent did the same for Stalking (see Table 3). Organizations and clinics were also involved in working with other community groups, local leaders, or advocates on primary prevention efforts. Here also more emphasis was placed on Sexual Assault (68 percent), and Domestic vViolence (71 percent), than on Stalking (42 percent). Open-ended responses indicated that community partnerships and coalitions were another strategy used to prevent or stop VAW. A STRATEGIC PLAN TO PREVENT VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN IN TEXAS B-104

The most commonly reported research and data collection activity was related to keeping track of information (e.g., hotline calls, shelter visits etc) – 46 percent for Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence and 32 percent for Stalking. Other data collection, research, and evaluation activities were reported by the survey respondents (see Table 4). Whereas 30 percent, 36 percent and 21 percent were involved in researching effective programs (best practices) for Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence and Stalking respectively, only 20 percent of the respondents were involved in researching evaluation techniques for Sexual Assault, 22 percent for Domestic Violence and 12 percent for Stalking. Surprisingly, a number of organizations or clinics researched factors influencing a person or a group’s risk for acting violently towards women (i.e., the likelihood of perpetrating violence). Thirty percent (Sexual Assault), 31 percent (Domestic Violence) and 19 percent (Stalking) screened for violent tendencies. Other respondents researched factors that help protect people from victimization: 38 percent for Sexual Assault, 39 percent for Domestic Violence and 27 percent for Stalking. The majority (60 percent) of the organizations or clinics did not conduct research activities. Survey respondents were also asked why they conducted research and/or collected data. Responses to this question were: • 27 percent did so to fulfill grant or program requirements, • 35 percent to promote outreach and advocacy, • 31 percent to evaluate the effectiveness of their programs, and • 6 percent with the purpose of writing academic reports. Open-ended comments also indicated that reporting requirements from government agencies were a reason for the collection of VAW data.
