SaVE Our Campus: Analyzing the Effectiveness of an Online Sexual Violence Program
Draper, Jordan Leigh
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, Rutgers The State University of New Jersey - New Brunswick
Nearly 20% of college females and 6% of college males will experience a form of sexual assault while enrolled in a college or university (Krebs, Lindquist, Warner, Fisher, & Martin, 2007). Sexual violence is not a new issue within college environments; however, it is rapidly gaining media attention based on victim testimonials and additional legislation and government guidelines created to help protect students. The purpose of this mixed methods study is to evaluate an online sexual violence education program and explore whether knowledge increased, attitudes around rape myths changed, and students retained information two-to-three months later regarding policies and resources on campus. This study will also shed light on the effectiveness of online programs specifically in this topical area where that is a gap in the literature. After completion of the online program it was determined that knowledge increased and rape myth acceptance decreased across gender and student status. Additionally, students retained general information two-to-three months after completing the program but were unable to recall detailed information on policies and reporting protocols that were specific to the campus. Further research needs to be conducted to determine the longevity of the knowledge attained and whether than expands over their entire college experience.
