Attitudes towards women for adolescents () Procedure Survey respondents completed questionnaires prior to commencing their Respectful Relationships program and directly after completing the program. Where possible, participants also completed a follow-up questionnaire 2-5 months after the conclusion of their program. The pre-post questionnaire design aimed to measure whether young people’s attitudes on different topics relating to respectful relationships changed after taking part in a Respectful Relationships program, and whether this was maintained over a longer period of time. By measuring attitudinal change, the evaluation examined the effectiveness of each project in changing attitudes around sexual, physical and emotional abuse in relationships. See Table 5 for a summary of questionnaire types used for evaluating each project and for detail concerning stages of surveys completed for each project (pre-program, post-program and follow-up).
