In collaboration with the University of New Hampshire Prevention Innovations Research Center, the UF MASH Study aims to expand the uSafeUSⓇ mobile app to integrate evidence-based, real time alcohol prevention tools. uSafeUS, currently in use on 24 college campuses across the United States, is an all-in-one tool universities can use to ensure compliance and support campus sexual assault prevention and response. The current app includes psychoeducational information and interactive, real-time sexual assault risk reduction tools. Through iterative formative research and rigorous testing, we will integrate drink tracking and real-time messaging capabilities with the goal of achieving cross-cutting prevention to reduce both sexual assault risk and risky drinking behaviors.

The SCC program was originally developed by researchers from RTI International (including Dr. Scaglione prior to her time at UF) and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, in partnership with leaders in the Department of the Air Force Integrated Resilience Office (DAF/A1Z) and Basic Military Training (BMT) to decrease sexual assault perpetration and victimization among BMT trainees. This evidence-informed curriculum integrates tailored technology-delivered content into a universal classroom-based training model, delivering individualized prevention content based on identified risk factors for primary victimization, revictimization, or perpetration. This project aims to adapt the SCC program curriculum to optimize its effectiveness among cadets at the U.S. Air Force Academy (USAFA).

Whereas SCC trains incoming Service members at the lowest ranks, the SALT Study aims to 1) understand the sexual assault leadership training framework and structure at USAFA and 2) make recommendations for streamlining and enhancing the the leadership training curriculum. The primary goal of this work is to shift leadership training from a “response” focus to proactive unit-level prevention. This study includes the necessary formative research (e.g., comprehensive literature and curriculum review, logic model development, stakeholder interviews) to shape content and methodological recommendations for future training development and evaluation.

SDSSNC is a multi-level evaluation of the Bar Outreach Project–a sexual violence prevention training for bar staff, which aims to improve norms about violence and create safer environments by increasing bystander intervention behavior, revising workplace policies, and improving physical spaces (e.g., reducing dark or isolated areas within a bar). The BOP has been implemented in Asheville, NC, since 2008 by the local non-profit victim services organization Our VOICE. This study assesses the program’s readiness for rigorous evaluation and preliminary program impacts on bar staff and patrons in two NC communities (Asheville and a matched comparison).

This study used novel theoretical and methodological approaches to examine decision processes related to alcohol use, alcohol protective behavioral strategies, sexual assault protective behavioral strategies, and contextual risk factors as distinct predictors of alcohol-involved sexual assault in first-year college women, both globally (i.e., across the first semester) and at the event-level (i.e., on specific drinking occasions). Analysis of these data is ongoing, and findings have and will continue to inform the development of more comprehensive prevention tools for first-year college women.
