The goal of this study is to understand what type of sexual violence risk reduction intervention programs and elements are acceptable to Indigenous college students via quantitative survey research methods.
401 Indigenous college students (77.1% women, 19.7% men, 3.0% trans or Two Spirit) from across North America were recruited. Students read standardized descriptions of four different sexual victimization risk reduction interventions (SVRRIs) that ranged in characteristics and ranked the interventions. All students provided acceptability ratings for Flip the Script with Enhanced Assess, Acknowledge, Act (EAAA) and a program of their choice. Participants also rated the importance of specific intervention elements, including cultural content.
Most participants had a history of sexual victimization; 80.8% had been sexually victimized at some point in their life. The combined sexual violence and substance use reduction intervention (Sexual Assault Risk and Alcohol Use Reduction Program [SAARR]) was most frequently ranked as the first choice by 36.2% of the sample, < 0.1. Considering acceptability ratings, all four SVRRIs were considered acceptable by most of the sample, with Flip the Script with EAAA rated highest of acceptability at 95.3% and Bringing in the Bystander having the lowest rate of acceptability at 71.4%. Cultural content was rated as a moderately important intervention element.
Indigenous college students are open to many different forms of sexual violence risk reduction interventions. Our findings suggest that simple cultural adaptations would be welcomed and scientifically supported to increase access and acceptability to violence interventions for Indigenous college students.
本研究的目标是通过定量调查研究方法，了解哪种类型的性暴力风险降低干预项目及要素为美国原住民大学生所接受。
招募了来自北美各地的401名美国原住民大学生（77.1%为女性，19.7%为男性，3.0%为跨性别者或双性人）。学生们阅读了四种不同的性侵害风险降低干预措施（SVRRIs）的标准化描述，这些措施在特征上有所不同，并对这些干预措施进行了排名。所有学生都对“强化评估、确认、行动翻转剧本”（EAAA）以及他们选择的一个项目给出了可接受性评分。参与者还对包括文化内容在内的特定干预要素进行了重要性评分。
大多数参与者有性侵害史；80.8%的人在生活中的某个时刻遭受过性侵害。性暴力和物质使用减少联合干预措施（性侵犯风险与酒精使用减少项目[SAARR]）最常被36.2%的样本列为首选，<0.1。从可接受性评分来看，大多数样本认为所有四种SVRRIs都是可接受的，其中“强化评估、确认、行动翻转剧本”的可接受性评分最高，为95.3%，“引入旁观者”的可接受性评分最低，为71.4%。文化内容被评为中等重要的干预要素。
美国原住民大学生对多种不同形式的性暴力风险降低干预措施持开放态度。我们的研究结果表明，简单的文化调整将受到欢迎，并得到科学支持，以增加美国原住民大学生对暴力干预措施的接受度和可及性。
