Evidence suggests that resources to address campus sexual violence (CSV) are inconsistently offered across institutions of higher education (IHE), and thus there is a need for campuses to continually assess their provision of resources and services to improve the climate and well-being of students. Conducting a periodical scan of resources provided is one way for IHE to assess their adherence to best practices. The current study describes the development of the Services, Policies and Programs Audit (SPPA) tool, created to help IHE evaluate their adherence with best practices related to the provision of services, policies, and programs on campus. The tool was piloted with 18 individuals from 12 different IHE across the country. Exploratory evaluation of the SPPA indicates that it may be a useful tool for self-examination of campus policies, services, and prevention and education efforts. Participants from the 12 IHE who participated in the pilot generally reported that the SPPA was helpful to their efforts. Interrater reliability results indicated that the position of the person who completes the tool impacts the scoring, with those who are more familiar with CSV services scoring higher. This aligns with other research indicating that it is important not only to have resources on campus to address CSV but also to ensure that the campus community is aware of them. The SPPA can potentially serve as one part of a larger toolkit used by IHE to assess their efforts to address CSV.
有证据表明，各高等教育机构（IHE）提供应对校园性暴力（CSV）的资源不一致，因此需要校园不断评估其提供的资源和服务，以改善学生的氛围和幸福感。定期扫描提供的资源是 IHE 评估其遵守最佳实践的一种方法。本研究描述了服务、政策和计划审计（SPPA）工具的开发，该工具旨在帮助 IHE 评估其在校园内提供服务、政策和计划方面遵守最佳实践的情况。该工具在全国 12 所不同 IHE 的 18 名个人中进行了试点。对 SPPA 的探索性评估表明，它可能是自我检查校园政策、服务以及预防和教育工作的有用工具。参与试点的 12 所 IHE 的参与者普遍报告称，SPPA 对他们的工作很有帮助。评分者间可靠性结果表明，完成工具的人的职位会影响评分，对 CSV 服务更熟悉的人评分更高。这与其他研究结果一致，即不仅要在校园内提供解决 CSV 的资源，还要确保校园社区了解这些资源非常重要。SPPA 可以作为 IHE 用来评估其解决 CSV 工作的更大工具包的一部分。
