Online Sexual Assault Resistance Program (IDEA3) for University Students

This study is evaluating an online program called IDEA3, which teaches skills to resist sexual assault. It's based on an in-person program that previously helped reduce sexual assault by about 50%. You might be able to join if you are a female-identifying 1st or 2nd-year university student, aged 17-24, at one of four specific universities. The study aims to see if IDEA3 can reduce sexual violence experienced by undergraduate women. Participants will either attend four 3-hour sessions of the IDEA3 program or a one-hour consent workshop, both with a partner, and complete surveys. Researchers will compare how many participants in each group experience sexual assault over the following year. The current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design
This is an interventional study planning to enroll 1920 participants. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the IDEA3 program or a consent workshop.
What's involved
If you join, you will either attend four 3-hour group sessions of the IDEA3 program or a one-hour consent workshop, both with a partner. You will also fill out several surveys.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up

    The Sexual Experiences Survey Short Form Victimization (SES-SFV) will be used to measure the primary sexual assault outcomes. Completed rape will have occurred when a participant indicates she has had at least one experience of threatened, forced, or drugged completed (not attempted) sexual activity (oral, anal, or vaginal intercourse - answered 'once' or more to any of 9 questions (2c, 2d, 2e, 3c, 3d, 3e, 4c, 4d, or 4e) in the period between the baseline measurement and the 12-month survey measurement.
