A Pilot of Bystander Training Programming in Sexual Violence and Subtance Abuse

The purpose of this randomized intervention pilot is to evaluate the relative efficacy of bystander training elements (delivery mode and integration of substance abuse prevention) among cohorts of incoming undergraduates at the University of Kentucky, a nationally recognized leader in addressing sexual violence through bystander intervention programming. Per university policy, all incoming undergraduates will participate in mandatory online training covering sexual violence awareness, bystander concepts, and alcohol use/abuse. Consenting students will be randomized to one of the following training conditions: 1. Green Dot Intensive Bystander Training (INT) or 2. Student Wellness Training (active control). Students in each condition will be followed for 9 months, one academic year.
