Sexual assault on college campuses is a prevalent public health problem, with 1 in 3 women experiencing sexual assault during her time in college. It is a major cause of injury, mental health concerns, sexually transmitted infections, and poor educational outcomes in youth and young adults. The Enhanced Assess, Acknowledge, Act (EAAA) sexual assault resistance intervention is the only intervention that has been shown to reduce sexual assault victimization for college women in a randomized controlled trial. EAAA is a 12-hour, peer facilitator-led, in-person intervention proven to reduce attempted or completed rape victimization by over 50% among female undergraduates, with durable effects lasting more than two years. Despite its unique efficacy, uptake of EAAA has been limited, in large part because universities prefer less costly interventions that can be administered online; unfortunately, no online intervention has been proven to reduce victimization.
This project seeks to adapt the existing EAAA intervention for online delivery to groups of students by live facilitators using a systematic adaptation process called ADAPT-ITT. After adapting and refining the intervention, the proposed work seeks to collect feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy-related outcome data.
The project has three aims:
The investigators hope this intervention may prevent as many as 50% of sexual assaults experienced by college women, comparable to the existing in-person intervention from which this online intervention is being adapted. Once the intervention has been finalized, the investigators plan to disseminate the intervention and make it widely available to institutions through the SARE Centre, a non-profit partner on the study that currently disseminates the in-person version of the intervention, EAAA.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Feasibility of IDEA3 intervention | This will be assessed by reviewing speed of recruitment and noting no-shows (at first session), overall session attendance, and retention rates for the online intervention to determine whether incentives are sufficient for a future larger trial; reviewing fidelity to the original intervention based on reviewing recordings of all online intervention sessions; reviewing and cataloging deviations from the manual; and final review of what pieces of IDEA3 went well and what pieces need to be further adapted in the future. | Within one week of the final intervention session |
| Acceptability of IDEA3 intervention | This will be assessed from summary statistics calculated from survey questions completed by participants relating to dimensions of affective attitude (how the individual feels about the intervention); burden (perceived effort required to participate); ethicality (extent to which the intervention fits with the individual's value system), perceived effectiveness, and whether they would recommend the intervention to a friend. | Within one week of the final intervention session |
| Intervention participants' self-defense self-efficacy | This will be assessed from participant answers to baseline and post-test surveys that use validated scales to measure self-defense self-efficacy (i.e. confidence that one could defend oneself against sexual assault) | Within one week of the final intervention session |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Efficacy of IDEA3 intervention | This will be assessed from participant answers to baseline and post-test surveys that use validated scales to measure five intermediary outcomes that account for EAAA's effect on reducing victimization: earlier detection of risk in coercive situations; greater risk perception of acquaintance rape; lower rape myth acceptance; knowledge of, and willingness to use evidence-based forceful verbal and physical resistance in a hypothetical situation; and earlier identification of 'discomfort' and earlier willingness to leave a hypothetical situation. |
