Abstract

This randomized controlled trial aims to determine if a novel, small-group sexual assault resistance education program reduces sexual assault incidence among university women compared to providing informational brochures. The 12-hour program teaches risk assessment, action-taking skills, and self-defense, and incorporates positive sexuality education. 1716 first-year female students will be enrolled, with primary outcome being completed sexual assault measured by The Sexual Experiences Survey - Short Form Victimization instrument. Secondary outcomes include changes in knowledge, attitudes, and skills. Outcomes will be measured at baseline, 1 week, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months.
