Filter by:This paper presents the findings of a clustered randomized controlled trial (cRCT) that evaluated the effectiveness of an online feminist sexual health intervention among Chinese young adults, providing insights into the impacts of this innovative approach and contribute to the growing body of literature on feminist interventions for sexual health and equality promotion.
Evaluation of Deaf men's knowledge about sexual health in Nancy, France. The study consists of interviews with voluntary deaf men from Nancy, France, in order to assess their knowledge about sexual health, and determine if there is a lack of sexual health awareness. If there is indeed a lack of information about sexual health, the study aims at finding ways of improving the situation, and see how the deaf men would like to have this information delivered to them.
The overall goal of the 5-year project is to conduct both a process and rigorous outcome evaluation of The Set Me Free Projects (SMFP) READY to Stand (RTS) curriculum with an eye toward widespread dissemination to other U.S. communities, if deemed effective.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the impact of providing participants with 1. A recently developed protocol for motivating bystanders to intervene to help others who are in sexual risk situations (Motivate-the-Bystander) alone 2. Motivate-the-Bystander with an alcohol component focused on reducing drinking behaviors (Motivate-the-Bystander+Alcohol) 3. A control condition focused on reducing stress The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is Motivate-the-Bystander more effective than the attention control for increasing bystander behaviors? - Is Motivate-the-Bystander+Alcohol more effective than MTB alone for increasing bystander behaviors? - Is Motivate-the-Bystander+Alcohol more effective than Motivate-the-Bystander alone for decreasing alcohol use during bystander intervention opportunities? Participants will: - Complete online measures (e.g., self-reported bystander behaviors, past bystander training, history of bystander intervention attempts, sexual experiences, drinking behaviors, and other substance use behaviors) - Complete either MTB, MTB+ALC, or the attention control condition online - Complete the virtual reality simulation in the lab - Complete electronic daily diary follow-up surveys about alcohol use and bystander intervention
In conflict situations, sexual violence (SV) used can take various forms, including rape and female genital mutilation (FGM). SV is used as a strategic weapon to shake, terrorize, and displace communities and thus take control of a particular population or territory. For two decades, the Great Lakes region of Central Africa, which includes the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), has experienced a high degree of instability due to various armed conflicts. The attacks on civilians are illustrated by SV. In 2011, studies in DRC estimated that 1 150 women are raped every day and that 30% of women have experienced conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) over the past 16 years. In addition to physical suffering, survivors of CRSV must live with psychological consequences. Traumatic fistula, one of the most extreme consequences of SV, is well described in the literature, as its surgical management. In contrast, the literature and the government illustrate a lack of accurate data on the physical consequences such as pelvic dysfunction and psychologic disorders following these attacks. To be able to put in place adequate care, it is necessary to identify the conditions and needs of the victims.
According to the figures for the last three years collected from the Indian Ocean Regional Health Observatory, it appears to be about twice as many voluntary terminations of pregnancy on the island of Reunion compared with France metropolitain region. Furthermore, the overseas section in 2002, which looked at violence against women of all types in three different spheres of life (the marital sphere, the workplace and public spaces), tends to show a much higher incidence of sexual violence than in metropolitain France. This trend seems to be confirmed by the overseas section of the VIRAGE survey started in 2018 on the island. Furthermore, data found in a qualitative study conducted in Ile de France in 2013 seems to demonstrate a more frequent use of abortion among patients who are victims of sexual violence. Thus, thiçs study will consist in evaluating the impact of sexual violence on the incidence of voluntary termination of pregnancy in Reunion Island.
Communication and Recovery Enhancement (CARE) is a 2-session early intervention for survivors of recent sexual assault and their supporters that aims to improve supporters' ability to respond effectively. The goal of this pilot trial is to understand the acceptability and preliminary efficacy of two versions of CARE: a version in which survivors and supporters attend both sessions together (dyadic CARE) and a version in which supporters attend sessions alone (supporter-only CARE). Survivors aged 14+ with elevated posttraumatic stress symptoms will enroll with a supporter of their choosing. Dyads will be randomized to dyadic CARE, supporter-only CARE, or waitlist control, and will complete self-report assessments at baseline, post-session-1, and follow-ups (1, 2, and 3 months post-baseline). Results will be used to inform future changes to CARE and determine whether a fully-powered randomized controlled trial is warranted.
This school-based study will evaluate a behavioral intervention-the No Means No (NMN) intervention-to reduce violence among enrolled girls, ages 10-19, through a cluster-randomized control trial and a nested qualitative study.
Investigators propose to rigorously evaluate the Close to Home (C2H) model via a cluster-matched control trial across 18 diverse communities (9 C2H, 9 control) in California via collection and analyses of social network, school-based and social media data. Close to Home is a primary prevention community mobilization model implemented in 10 communities across California that engages community members across multiple sectors and social networks to strengthen community connections and shift social norms regarding sexual violence (SV), but has never been rigorously evaluated. C2H moves beyond criminal justice, lobbying, or school-based curricular approaches, taking a true community-level and community-led approach. This is a five-year project, funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for 3 years with competitive awards for years 4 and 5, and is conducted in partnership with the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) and ValorUs (formerly CALCASA). The University of California, San Diego (UCSD) and CDPH partnership is uniquely poised to conduct the first rigorous evaluation of C2H in California at this time.
This cluster-randomized controlled trial across 28+ college campuses focuses on undergraduate college students at elevated risk for sexual violence and hazardous drinking (i.e., students with prior history of sexual violence, students who are sexual or gender minority, and students with disabilities). "Reducing Alcohol Involved Sexual violence in higher Education (RAISE)" is a longitudinal study that will test research-informed strategies to improve implementation of a prevention intervention in college health and counseling centers, integrate a safety decision aid (via computer or mobile device) to more directly target harm reduction among students particularly vulnerable to hazardous drinking and SV, and evaluate campus policies that increase accessibility and uptake of confidential services for students. This is the first study to situate a sexual violence prevention intervention in college health and counseling centers to address two significant public health concerns -- alcohol-involved sexual violence and hazardous drinking on college campuses.
