Personalized Integrated Alcohol and Sexual Assault Prevention Among College Students
Sponsor: Georgia State University
Summary
Heavy episodic drinking and sexual assault are problematic on college campuses. This study includes a randomized controlled trial of Positive Change (+Change), an integrated alcohol and sexual assault prevention program, compared to an attention-matched control condition across two universities in reducing alcohol use, sexual assault victimization, sexual assault perpetration, and increasing sexual assault bystander intervention. This study will also test the efficacy of +Change plus Booster session, an identical version of +Change delivered 6 months after the baseline, compared to +Change alone in long-term reductions in alcohol use, sexual assault victimization, sexual assault perpetration, and increases in sexual assault bystander intervention. This research is the next step of a NIAAA-funded planning grant (R34AA025691).

Positive Change (+Change)
This is an integrated social norms-based personalized feedback intervention for college students targeting alcohol misuse and sexual assault. It targets alcohol, sexual assault victimization risk, sexual assault perpetration, and bystander intervention. It is tailored by gender and sexual orientation.
A healthy lifestyles attention control
A healthy lifestyles attention control will be used as the control condition. We will match the control and intervention conditions on content (text, pictures, number of pages); type (interactive vs. psychoeducation); and average completion time.
