Bystander-based sexual violence (SV) prevention trainings are offered on college campuses across the United States to meet federal Title IX requirements, as they have proven to be an effective strategy for violence prevention. Greek-affiliated students (fraternity and sorority members) are at a higher risk of sexual assault than their peers; however, few trainings consider the specific needs of this population, and program adaptations for this high-risk group may be needed. This scoping review identifies and describes the bystander trainings delivered to Greek-affiliated students in the US and Canada. An eight-database search was conducted following PRISMA-ScR guidelines. The review identified 81 unique sources, with 18 meeting the inclusion criteria. Eleven specific training programs were identified, encompassing qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-method studies. The thematic analysis revealed best practices, including the importance of peer leaders, interactive sessions, and tailored content to Greek culture, as well as barriers such as a lack of engagement and an inadequate session length. The review underscores the need for tailored interventions to effectively address the unique cultural characteristics and high-risk nature of Greek-affiliated students. These findings provide valuable insights for improving the design and implementation of bystander interventions to enhance their efficacy in preventing sexual violence within this population.
旁观者性暴力（SV）预防培训在美国的大学校园提供，以满足联邦 TitleIX 的要求，因为它们已被证明是预防暴力的有效策略。与希腊相关的学生（兄弟会和姐妹会成员）比同龄人更容易遭受性侵犯；然而，很少有培训考虑到这一特定群体的需求，可能需要针对这个高风险群体的计划改编。本范围审查确定并描述了在美国和加拿大提供给与希腊相关的学生的旁观者培训。根据 PRISMA-ScR 指南进行了八项数据库搜索。该审查确定了 81 个独特的来源，其中 18 个符合纳入标准。确定了 11 个特定的培训计划，包括定性、定量和混合方法研究。主题分析揭示了最佳实践，包括同伴领导的重要性、互动课程以及针对希腊文化的量身定制的内容，以及缺乏参与和课程长度不足等障碍。该审查强调需要有针对性的干预措施，以有效地解决与希腊相关的学生的独特文化特征和高风险性质。这些发现为改进旁观者干预措施的设计和实施提供了有价值的见解，以提高其在该人群中预防性暴力的效果。
