Ending Sexual Harassment - Teaching Of Principal Investigators

Ending Sexual Harassment - Teaching Of Principal Investigators

The study targets three aims: Aim 1: focuses on PIs' and mentors' confidence in their ability to intervene on sexual harassment and their attitudes, perceptions, and knowledge (APK) about sexual harassment, civility, microaggressions, and unconscious bias. Aim 2: focuses on trainees' experiences of sexual harassment and microaggressions and civility, sense of belonging, well-being, productivity, and persistence in a research career. Aim 3: focuses on the culture and climate of the research learning environment.

Participants (PIs, mentors, and trainees), starting in year one, will be asked to complete a baseline survey (using the secure survey software Qualtrics) regardless of condition assignment. Then, for several months, PIs, mentors, and mentees will receive virtual educational materials (presented using a Learning Management System) appropriate to the condition to which their program has been randomized.

The initial post-survey for PIs and mentors will be shortly after the final module to evaluate short-term outcomes, encompassing attitudes, perceptions, and knowledge. Subsequently, the second post-survey will be administered one year later. Trainees will participate in three post-surveys: one immediately after, another one year later, and a final one two years later.
