Primary | Change in Readiness to Intervene on the Readiness Ruler | Participants will use an 11-point likert-type scale modeled after the Readiness Ruler to rate their readiness for intervening. Responses range from 0 (I never think about my and/or my friend's risk of being sexually assaulted) to 10 (I am actively and consistently taking steps to protect myself and/or my friends from sexual assault), with higher scores indicating a greater readiness to intervene. | Baseline and Bi-Weekly for 12 weeks following participation in the program | |
Primary | Change in Readiness to Intervene on the Decisional Balance Scale | The 10-item Decisional Balance Scale (Banyard et al., 2007) is used to assess ambivalence about intervening in a potential assault situation. Responses regarding the decision whether to intervene or not are rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (Not at all likely) to 5 (Extremely likely), with higher scores indicating a greater readiness to intervene. | Baseline and Bi-Weekly for 12 weeks following participation in the program | |
Primary | Change in Awareness and Strategies Regarding Alcohol Effects on Helping Survey | This 8-item survey measures awareness of and strategies for alcohol's effects on helping behavior and participants' understanding of the ways that alcohol may interfere with helping behavior. Responses range from 1 (Not at all true) to 5 (Very much true), with higher scores indicating a greater understanding of how alcohol interferes with helping behavior. | Baseline, Immediately Following FMI Program Completion, Bi-Weekly for 12 weeks following participation in the program, 12-Week Follow Up | |
Primary | Change in Friend-Based Helping Skills on Friend-based Assault Protective Strategies Assessment | The Friend-based Assault Protective Strategies Assessment uses 20 items to assess sexual assault preventive strategy use. Responses range from 1 (Not at all) to 4 (A lot), with higher scores indicating a greater use of strategies to prevent sexual assault. | Baseline, Bi-Weekly for 12 weeks following participation in the program | |
Primary | Change in Friend-Based Helping Skills on the Bystander Behaviors Scale for Friends | The Bystander Behaviors Scale for Friends is a 44-item measure which includes 4 sub-scales (1) the identification of sexual assault risk situations, (2) accessing resources, (3) planning ahead for risk situations, and (4) safety behaviors in risk settings. Response option include (1) No I did not engage in this behavior, (2) Yes I did engage in this behavior, or (3) I did not perceive an opportunity to engage in this behavior. A higher endorsement of "Yes" engaging in the behaviors is considered to indicate a greater use of strategies to prevent sexual assault. | Baseline, Bi-Weekly for 12 weeks following participation in the program | |
Primary | Change in Perceived Barriers to Intervening on the Barriers to Sexual Assault Bystander Intervention Scale | The Barriers to Sexual Assault Bystander Intervention Scale is a 16-item measure to assess barriers to intervening. Responses range from 1 (Strongly disagree) to 7 (Strongly agree), with higher scores indicating greater perceived barriers to intervening. | Baseline, 12 Week Follow-Up | |
Primary | Change in Perceived Barriers to Intervening on the Concerns About Intervening Scale | The Concerns About Intervening Scale uses 6 items to assess perceived barriers to intervening, focused on worries. Responses range from 1 (Not at all true) to 6 (Very much true), with higher scores indicating greater perceived barriers to intervening. | Baseline, 12 Week Follow-Up | |
Secondary | Sexual Assault | Revised Sexual Experiences Survey (R-SES) will be used to assess each social occasion with the target friend in the prior week. Each item will be coded 1 (yes) or 0 (no), based on whether it happened to the woman/friend on each occasion that the pair socialized together. | Bi-Weekly for 12 weeks following participation in the program | |
Secondary | Change in Drinking | Using a grid-based average assessment measure based in the Daily Drinking Questionnaire, participants will report on alcohol consumption, on occasions when they were out with the target friend. Higher scores indicate greater alcohol consumption. | Bi-Weekly for 12 weeks following participation in the program |
