Greetings! On Valentine’s Day, we at The Dibble Institute celebrate our mission – empowering young people to successfully navigate their intimate relationships. In other words… equipping young people to get smart about their love lives! We continue to be amazed by the power of this approach! A new publication based on the Love Notes randomized control trial (RCT) in Louisville found that 12 months after completing the program young people from the Love Notes intervention were 46% less likely to become pregnant or cause a pregnancy than the control group.
Also, results from an RCT of Relationship Smarts PLUS (RSP) with students in Georgia showed that at three years post instruction girls in the RSP group were almost two and a half times less likely to be in an unhealthy relationship (defined as their partner keeping them from seeing friends, making them feel stupid, potentially hurting them) than the control group.
Finally, we conservatively estimate that in Fiscal Year 2023 our clients reached 126,000 young people with a Dibble program. That’s 2,423 teens a week!
These great outcomes have only been accomplished thanks to all of you who are committed to helping young people build safe and healthy relationships. We have so much to celebrate this Valentine’s Day! With much gratitude, |
