Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Sexual violence (SV) is a significant public health problem particularly among 18-24 year old populations. A major risk factor for SV is alcohol use, which via its negative impact on cognitive abilities and decision-making acts as a barrier to intervening in situations at-risk for a SV. This study has two main goals: (1) to determine the effects of proximal alcohol use on young (age 21 to 25) men's prosocial bystander behavior in situations considered at-risk for SV, and (2) to determine the efficacy of an evidence-based, web-based program called RealConsent, which has been augmented to include alcohol-specific content within the context of bystander SV ("RealConsent2.0"), on men's prosocial bystander behavior. The primary study endpoint is prosocial bystander behavior and will be assessed via two modes: (1) a virtual reality (VR) environment ("B-SAVE") and (2) a validated self-report measure of bystander behavior that has been modified to include assessment of proximal alcohol use and presence of alcohol within the context.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

RealConsent2.0 with Placebo

Men assigned to complete a revised web-based multi-media sexual violence and bystander intervention prevention program. Men assigned to a no-alcohol placebo control arm.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

RealConsent2.0

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

A revised and updated web-based multi-media sexual violence prevention program that enhances knowledge and skills for effective consent for sex and for prosocial bystander behaviors, but also integrates new program segments into RealConsent 1.0 specific to how alcohol use can inhibit SV intervention at multiple steps of the decision-making process.

No-Alcohol Placebo

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Men assigned to an no-alcohol placebo control condition.

Stress Management with Alcohol

Men assigned to complete a web-based stress management program. Men assigned to alcohol intoxication arm (target BrAC=.08).
