TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Commentary on Foubert, Godin, and Tatum (2010): The Evolution of Sexual Violence Prevention and the Urgency for Effectiveness JO - Journal of interpersonal violence A1 - Teten Tharp, Andra L. A1 - DeGue, Sarah A1 - Lang, Karen A1 - Valle, Linda Anne A1 - Massetti, Greta A1 - Holt, Melissa A1 - Matjasko, Jennifer SP - 3383 EP - 92; author reply 3393 VL - 26 IS - 16 N2 - Foubert, Godin, and Tatum describe qualitative effects among college men of The Men's Program, a one-session sexual violence prevention program. This article and the program it describes are representative of many sexual violence prevention programs that are in practice and provide an opportunity for a brief discussion of the development and evaluation of sexual violence prevention approaches. In this commentary, we will focus on two considerations for an evolving field: the adherence to the principles of prevention and the use of rigorous evaluation methods to demonstrate effectiveness. We argue that the problem of sexual violence has created urgency for effective prevention programs and that scientific and prevention standards provide the best foundation to meet this need.
