Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
RCT Testing Bystander Effectiveness to Reduce Violence.

This study evaluated the Green Dot bystander intervention to reduce sexual violence and related forms of interpersonal violence in 26 high schools over 5 years. ⋯ Implementation of Green Dot in Kentucky high schools significantly decreased not only sexual violence perpetration but also other forms of interpersonal violence perpetration and victimization.

Asthma rates were examined by U.S. residence and country/territory of origin. ⋯ The effect of relocation to the U.S. on asthma risk among Hispanics is not uniform across Hispanic/Latino groups.
