TY - JOUR PY - 2006// TI - An acquaintance rape education program for students transitioning to high school JO - Sex education: sexuality, society and learning A1 - Medway, Frederic J. A1 - Fay, Karen E. SP - 223 EP - 236 VL - 6 IS - 3 N2 - Based on Parrot's work with college students, a six-activity acquaintance rape prevention program for first-year high school students living in a rural South Carolina community was implemented and evaluated. The program decreased students' acceptance of rape myths compared with non-participating students both on a scale developed by Burt and on additional items measuring acquaintance rape. Attitudes toward dating violence did not change. Research limitations are discussed, and practical suggestions for sex education are presented.
