Despite the rapid population growth, research on IPV and socioculturally tailored prevention program for Asians in the U.S. are seriously limited. Thus, we propose to develop and evaluate an IPV prevention program for and by local community members using theater, audience response measurement, and peer educators (PEs). The specific aims are: 1) To develop and implement a theater-based IPV prevention program in collaboration with trained PEs; 2) To assess program effectiveness, e.g., changes in workshop participants’ knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and behavior concerning IPV over time, and the role of performance engagement factors.
