简要总结
This study is a randomized controlled trial using a web-based adaptation of the RealConsent program among eligible college men in Hanoi, Vietnam. This study will test the impact of the program on promoting prosocial bystander behavior and preventing sexual violence perpetration, through improvements in the seven knowledge, attitudinal, and emotional mediators over a seven month study period, with a baseline survey and two follow-up surveys.
详细描述
Sexual violence is any sexual act committed against a person without freely given consent. Men and women may experience sexual violence, but most victims are women. Women's first experiences of sexual violence often occur in adolescence. In Asia and the Pacific, about 14% of sexually experienced adolescent girls report forced sexual debut. Thus, early prevention with men is critical; yet, young men often are difficult to reach and may resist programs that target sexual violence, not seeing themselves as potential perpetrators. Prevention with men that integrates a bystander framework, which treats men as "allies" of women, is one way to target attitudes and behaviors while decreasing resistance to participation. In this study, the researchers will adapt an existing program for use with men attending one of two universities in Hanoi, Vietnam. This study will test the impact of the adapted program on knowledge/attitudinal/emotional mediators, and in turn, on sexual violence perpetration and prosocial bystander behavior in this target group. The adapted program is a novel, six-session, web-based serial drama and educational program designed to prevent sexual violence perpetration and to enhance prosocial bystander behavior in young men. The program has reduced the incidence of sexual violence among men attending an urban, public university in the Southeastern United States.
After conducting interviews with men and women, and focus group discussions with college men and university stakeholders the researchers will produce a web-based adaptation of the RealConsent program in Vietnam. The researchers will then conduct a randomized controlled trial to test the impact of the adapted program, relative to a health-education control condition, on knowledge/attitudinal/emotional mediators, and in turn, on sexually violent behaviors, and prosocial bystander behavior in freshmen men attending two universities in Hanoi. This project will be the first to adapt and to test the impact of a novel, theoretically grounded, web-based intervention to prevent sexual violence perpetration and to promote prosocial bystander behavior among young men for use in a middle-income country. If this study shows that the adapted program is effective cross-culturally, it will have exceptional potential for scale-up to prevent men's perpetration of sexual violence against women globally.

结局指标
主要结局
Number of Participants Reporting Contact Sexual Violence Via Non-physical Tactics
时间窗: Baseline, immediately after completing the 3 week intervention, 6 months after completing the intervention
Acts of contact sexual violence using non-physical tactics (verbal coercion, lying, or intoxication) were assessed using 7 items from the Sexual Experiences Survey. The 7 items are scored on a scale from 0 (zero tactics) to 3 (multiple tactics), indicating how many times the participant reported engaging in a specific tactic in order to engage in contact sexual violence, including unwanted touching, rape, and attempted rape. The numbers of participants indicating they used non-physical tactics at least once (scores of 1 or 2) to perpetrate any of seven acts of contact physical violence (in the past twelve months, for the baseline assessment, or since last completing the questionnaire) are presented here.
Number of Participants Reporting Contact Sexual Violence Via Physical Tactics
时间窗: Baseline, immediately after completing the 3 week intervention, 6 months after completing the intervention
Acts of contact sexual violence using physical tactics (force or threat of harm) were assessed using 7 items from the Sexual Experiences Survey. The 7 items are scored on a scale from 0 (zero acts) to 3 (multiple acts), indicating how many times the participant reported engaging in a specific tactic in order to engage in contact sexual violence, including unwanted touching, rape, and attempted rape. The numbers of participants indicating they used physical tactics at least once (scores of 1 or 2) to perpetrate any of seven acts of contact physical violence (in the past twelve months, for the baseline assessment, or since last completing the questionnaire) are presented here.
Number of Participants Reporting Non-contact Sexual Violence
时间窗: Baseline, immediately after completing the 3 week intervention, 6 months after completing the intervention
Acts of non-contact sexual violence were assessed using 10 items from the Sexual Experiences Survey. The 10 items are scored on a scale from 0 (zero acts) to 3 (multiple acts), indicating how many times the participant reported engaging in an act. The numbers of participants indicating they engaged in at least one act of non-contact sexually violent behavior (scores of 1 or 2) in the past twelve months, for the baseline assessment, or since last completing the questionnaire are presented here.
Number of Participants Reporting Prosocial Bystander Behavior
时间窗: Six months following baseline
Participants were asked if they had engaged in any of four prosocial bystander behaviors in the past 12 months (or since the last time completing the questionnaire). Items are scored as 0 = never performed, 1 = performed once, 2 = performed more than once. The numbers of participants who report engaging in at least one of four prosocial bystander behaviors at least once are presented here.
