One in five college women report being sexually assaulted, while men have the greatest likelihood to commit a sexual assault while attending a university. Because freshmen and sophomore college women are particularly vulnerable to victimization, it is important to provide effective sexual assault prevention education. The current study examines a multisession approach to sexual assault prevention at a southwestern university. This exploratory study assesses scores measuring knowledge of sexual assault, knowledge about healthy sexual relationships, and intent to act to prevent a sexual assault or after one has occurred, after students complete at least one of five sexual assault prevention programs (Community of Care, Consent and Respect, Step Up!, Live Well, or Frisky Business). Results demonstrated that participation in each program had unique effects and the number of programs a student participated in did not significantly affect scores. None of the programs produced significantly higher scores on all three measures. Multiple programs produced significantly higher scores on the knowledge and intervention/resources scales, but none had the same results for the healthy sexual relationships scale. Also, a student's experiences of sexual violence significantly predicted their scores on all three measures. Because each program had different characteristics, the varying results make it difficult to identify the particular factors that led to the best results. Future research must seek to identify the particular combination of factors that produce the best outcomes in terms of changing attitudes and behavior concerning sexual assault and intent to act.
五分之一的女大学生报告曾遭受性侵犯，而男性在大学期间最有可能犯下性侵犯罪行。由于大一和大二的女大学生特别容易成为受害者，因此提供有效的性侵犯预防教育至关重要。本研究考察了西南某大学采用的多阶段性侵犯预防方法。这项探索性研究评估了在学生完成至少五个性侵犯预防项目（关爱社区、同意与尊重、行动起来、健康生活或花花公子）中的一个或多个项目后，衡量性侵犯知识、健康性关系知识和预防或应对性侵犯意图的得分。结果表明，每个项目的参与都有独特的效果，学生参与的项目数量并不显著影响得分。没有一个项目在所有三个方面都显著提高了分数。多个项目在知识和干预/资源方面的得分显著提高，但在健康性关系方面没有相同的结果。此外，学生的性暴力经历显著预测了他们在所有三个方面的得分。由于每个项目都有不同的特点，不同的结果使得很难确定导致最佳结果的特定因素。未来的研究必须努力确定在改变有关性侵犯的态度和行为以及预防意图方面产生最佳结果的特定因素组合。
