However, among those girls who had higher rates of previous dating violence victimization, completion of «My Voice, My Choice» was associated with lower rates of
psychological victimization — being yelled at or called names, having a boy try to frighten or spread rumors about her — and lower rates of psychological distress.
That finding indicates the «My Voice, My Choice» training could also reduce the risk for
psychological victimization and distress among girls who have been previously victimized.
