N2  - This study sought to evaluate the effects of a domestic violence training program for school professionals. The training was presented in 18 locations throughout rural Western New York. The training included information about the dynamics of domestic violence, the effects on children, interventions, and community resources. Pretest and posttest surveys (N = 644) were used to monitor changes in knowledge and attitudes regarding domestic violence. Dependant samples t-tests, repeated measures ANOVA, and descriptive analyses were used to examine the results. The training helped dispel myths about domestic violence and increase attendees’ confidence in their abilities to identify and help children affected by domestic violence. The data identified a lack of understanding of school safety policies and procedures. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) (journal abstract)<p />
