Abstract

The University of Saskatchewan states in its sexual assault prevention policy a commitment to ensuring the safety of its community members through education promoting the recognition of sexual violence and willingness to intervene in harmful situations (approved on Dec. 14, 2015). High-quality evaluation research is necessary to support the university in achieving its stated goal of making campus safer in designing and implementing evidence-based sexual violence prevention programming. I am part of a team working with senior administration and student services to design, implement, and evaluate sexual violence prevention training on campus to increase student awareness and willingness to intervene in risky situations that may lead to sexual violence. I recently received a SSHRC Insight Development Grant that will be used to evaluate the implementation of Bringing in the Bystander® intervention training and consent training with two different student bodies on campus.
