Who is the study for?
This trial is for sorority members. It aims to evaluate a web-based program designed to support sexual assault survivors and discourage drinking as a coping strategy within sororities. Participants must be in a sorority, willing to complete several surveys over six months, and have access to the internet.
What is being tested?
The ASSIST intervention is being tested for its feasibility and effectiveness in promoting peer support and reducing harmful drinking behaviors. Sororities are randomly chosen either for this new online training or just assessments without any additional training.
What are the potential side effects?
Since ASSIST is an educational web-based intervention, it does not involve medication or medical procedures; therefore, traditional physical side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort discussing sensitive topics like sexual assault.
