Clinical Trial Summary

This project, SCALE, will be the first to compare lower-intensity (standard) and higher-intensity implementation strategies to deliver GlobalConsent-an efficacious web-based sexual violence prevention program-to men attending six universities across Vietnam. Following a rigorous, mixed-methods, comparative interrupted-time-series design, researchers will collect novel data to compare implementation fidelity, drivers and outcomes, effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness across implementation strategy groups. This partnership includes universities also engaged in a violence-prevention training grant (D43TW012188), offering an unparalleled opportunity for capacity strengthening and evidence generation to guide national leaders on best strategies for launching GlobalConsent at scale, to address a gendered risk factor in adolescence, and thereby, improve an array of health outcomes into adulthood.


Clinical Trial Description

Sexual violence is prevalent in adolescence and heightens the risk of harmful long-term health effects. Sexual violence includes any sexual act committed against a person without freely given consent. All genders may experience sexual violence, but sexual violence more often burdens women than men globally, and men most often perpetrate such violence. Adolescence is a period of vulnerability to sexual violence, with about one in five college women in the US experiencing a campus sexual assault and 91% of victims being women. Less is known about rates of sexual violence on college campuses. Still, estimates from large, multi-country surveys confirm that young men's reported sexually violent behavior and young women's reported sexual violence victimization are high, including in Asia/Pacific. In Vietnam, from 2010 to 2019, women's reports of lifetime sexual violence by a partner increased (10% to 13%), especially in women 18-24 years (5% to 14%). Such trends may reflect changing exposure and more openness to discuss sex and sexual violence. Also, nearly one in ten women (9%) report non-partner sexual violence since age 15, mostly perpetrated by non-family male acquaintances, co-workers, or strangers. Young women who are victims of sexual violence are at heightened risk of acute and chronic mental and physical health conditions. The researchers will use the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance (RE-AIM) and Proctor et al. frameworks and a mixed-methods, comparative interrupted time series (CITS) design to compare implementation; implementation drivers and outcomes; implementation effectiveness; and cost-effectiveness of lower-intensity vs higher-intensity (LIS; HIS) implementation strategies to deliver GlobalConsent. ;
