Abstract

To reduce sexual victimization on college campuses, many institutions offer mandatory sexual assault prevention programs for students. However, little is known on how such programs may affect willingness to access campus resources. This study attempts to fill this gap with a sample of college students at a mid-sized university in an urban setting (n = 2,100). Utilizing a quasi-experimental design, we found that students who received the program displayed greater levels of comfort related to seeking help on-campus. Results serve to advance discussions related to potential impacts of prevention programs for students. Practical implications for institutions of higher education are discussed.

大学性侵犯预防计划对学生寻求帮助的舒适感的影响。

为了减少大学校园里的性侵害，许多机构为学生提供强制性的性侵犯预防项目。然而，人们对这些项目如何影响学生获取校园资源的意愿知之甚少。本研究试图用城市环境中一所中等规模大学的大学生样本（n = 2,100）来填补这一空白。利用准实验设计，我们发现接受该计划的学生在校园寻求帮助方面表现出更高的舒适度。结果有助于推进有关预防计划对学生的潜在影响的讨论。讨论了对高等教育机构的实际影响。
