Strategies for Implementing GlobalConsent to Prevent Sexual Violence in University Men Across Seven Vietnamese Universities

What this Trial Is About

This research aims to compare different methods for delivering GlobalConsent, a web-based program designed to prevent sexual violence, to men attending seven universities across Vietnam. The study focuses on evaluating lower-intensity versus higher-intensity strategies to implement this program, assessing how well each approach is followed, its effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness. The project addresses a critical adolescent risk factor by promoting healthier behaviors and informing national strategies to reduce sexual violence. The trial includes multiple groups such as students, faculty, university leaders, and implementation team members, each receiving materials and training based on their university's assigned implementation strategy. Students in the higher-intensity group get in-person orientations, monthly learning sessions, and frequent reminders, while those in the lower-intensity group receive basic email and text reminders for 12 weeks. Faculty and leaders receive access to educational content, webinars, and communication tailored by group intensity, and implementation teams receive training and support varying by strategy level. Participants will be monitored through surveys and assessments at baseline and multiple follow-up points up to 49 months, measuring behaviors related to sexual violence, attitudes, knowledge, and mental health. Researchers will track students' reported prosocial bystander actions and sexually violent behavior every six months for up to 30 months. Additional measures include perceptions of campus attitudes, acceptability and feasibility of the program, and mental health screenings. The study incorporates rigorous data collection to evaluate implementation success and participant outcomes over several years.
