Interventions

  • Friend-Based Motivational Interview — BEHAVIORAL
    The intervention will use Motivational Interviewing's (MI) collaborative conversation style for strengthening commitment to change, to motivate and prepare women to work together to reduce Sexual Assault (SA) risk. This intervention will target ways that the friend dyad may support, encourage, and share responsibility with one another in protecting against SA. The Friend-based MI (FMI) will then use the responsibility and relationship of friends as a framework to foster collaborative efforts to increase readiness and decrease barriers to helping behavior. As part of this, the FMI will focus on the identification and implementation of skills friends can use to help one another prevent sexual assault. FMI will include a focused discussion of the ways drinking may impede helping efforts. Moreover, the FMI will encourage women to identify personal, specific strategies for reducing the effects of alcohol on helping.
  • Treatment as usual (TAU) — BEHAVIORAL
    This 65-minute single-session stand-alone course is a supplemental component of the EverFi (Vector Solutions) Sexual Assault Prevention for Undergraduate Students prevention suite that is administered in an online didactic format. All participants (intervention and control) will have completed the basic course of the Sexual Assault Prevention for Undergraduate Students at matriculation, per university requirements. For the current study, the supplemental Healthy Relationships component will be administered only to participants assigned to the control condition. Healthy Relationships focuses on relationship skills, strategies for taking action in risky situations, and intervention skill practice.
