The Prevention Toolbox : BOAT®: The Prevention Toolbox targets all forms of violence, but in particular sexual and gender-based violence, through 1 out of 5 themes (Relationships and sexuality) and 10 out of 34 sub-themes. The other 4 themes (Psychosocial skills, Respect and difference, From the virtual to the real, and Understanding and respect for the law) cover all the risk and protection factors for all types of violence.
Study summary
Violence has major consequences for the health and development of children and teenagers, even though it is commonplace, particularly in secondary schools. The team at the Centre Ressources pour les Intervenants auprès d'Auteurs de Violences Sexuelles Languedoc-Roussillon (CRIAVS-LR, CHU Montpellier) has created a BOite A ouTils to prevent sexual and gender-based violence: the BOAT, for professionals working with children and teenagers aged between 5 and 18. Structured around 5 themes and 4 age groups, the BOAT is very easy to use. The 134 intervention sheets have been validated and designed to target a risk factor (to be reduced) or a protective factor (to be developed) so that children do not become perpetrators or victims of violence.

Primary outcome measure(s)
changes in the incidence of violent behavior — between the three years preceding the middle school's inclusion (period without intervention) and the three years following the start of the study (period with or without intervention, depending on the intervention arm) The incidence of violent behavior for each study period will be calculated by dividing the number of violent incidents observed in the school, by the number of schoolchildren monitored over the period (in person/year) in the same school.
