520 _aThe aim of this research was to review the challenges and potential benefits of involving adolescents in the development and delivery of prevention programming. Adolescent violence prevention programs are typically designed and delivered by adults in school-based settings. However, research has highlighted a number of problems with the effectiveness and sustainability of adult-designed prevention models. In this commentary, the authors consider the possibility that program effectiveness might be improved if innovative, evidence-based prevention strategies could be developed to help guide adolescents in developing and delivering prevention materials themselves. To inform the discussion, the authors surveyed 14 adolescent peer leaders about their experiences developing and delivering violence prevention in their schools and communities. (From the abstract).
