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.
The study will involve 60 middle school (10 middle school REP/REP+ in six academies) over four consecutive school years between 2023 and 2027, the first year being devoted to preparing the study with the establishment. The research project is coordinated by the Montpellier University Hospital, and regulatory approvals have been sought from the relevant authorities.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Group BOAT + | The middle schools in the experimental group will benefit from the BOAT+ intervention, which involves training the school's educational team in the use of the BOAT®. Training is provided each year of the study to 5 members of the BOAT+ college educational team, in the form of e-learning supplemented by two half-day face-to-face sessions. Trained professionals will use the BOAT® in real-life ecological conditions, according to their needs and educational projects. |
| |
| Group BOAT - | No intervention will be carried out in the colleges of the control group, except to inform parents and educational teams about the research. The educational teams will not be trained to use the BOAT when the study is set up. These middle schools will benefit from the same annual evaluations (school, students and educational teams) as the BOAT+ middle schools. If the effect of the BOAT® structured prevention program is positive, the educational teams in the control group (BOAT-) will receive training in the use of the BOAT® at the end of the study. |
