This study reports the results of a pilot study of a parent-based intervention to address alcohol-related sexual assault on a college campus. Parents of incoming college students were recruited to participate in a small group intervention during summer orientation. The intervention was designed to last between 60 and 90 min. The content included the following: alcohol use and sexual assault on campus, the role alcohol plays in sexual assault, principles of bystander intervention, and tools for communication about alcohol and sexual assault. Participants completed a survey measure at pre-test, post-test, and follow-up with measures of alcohol and consent, rape myths, and ratings of confidence in talking about alcohol and sexual assault. A total of 53 parents attended the group. Results indicated a medium effect for change over time with a decrease in the acceptability of giving consent for sexual activity while using alcohol from pre-test to post-test, but no change from post-test to follow-up. There was a medium effect for change over time in the rejection of rape myths with an increase in endorsement of rape myths between post-test and follow-up. Parents rated their confidence in talking with their students about alcohol and sexual assault. Initially, 75% of parents reported being “very confident” in their ability to talk with their child about sexual assault. At the end of the intervention, their confidence increased to 92% of parents feeling “very confident.” The results of this pilot study show promise for parent-based prevention that addresses alcohol-related sexual assault and sets the stage for further studies. |
