College Health Center-based Alcohol and Sexual Violence Intervention

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Sexual Assault, Alcohol Consumption, Intimate Partner Violence

In brief

This study will offer the first formal assessment for sexual violence (SV) in the college student health center setting, developed for a high risk group of college students, and is designed to facilitate patient and provider comfort in discussing sexual violence and related abusive experiences (including the role of alcohol) via semi-scripted screening tools. The intervention specifically involves the training of all clinical staff (health educators, counselors, medical assistants, nurses, and clinicians) to deliver a universal education and brief counseling intervention titled GIFTSS (Giving Information for Trauma Support and Safety) to all clients seeking college health services integrated into usual clinical practice, provide universal education about SV regardless of disclosure, counsel clients on harm reduction strategies to reduce risk for SV, and provide supported referrals to sexual assault advocates, with the goal of reducing SV among college students.
