Effects of The Men's Program on U.S. Army Soldiers' Intentions to Commit and Willingness to Intervene to Prevent Rape: A Pretest Posttest Study

Military sexual assault is a pervasive problem in the military and exploring how to prevent sexual assault is very important. Enlisted male Soldiers were randomly assigned to a 1-hour rape prevention workshop (“The Men’s Program”) or to a comparison briefing on issues related to sexual assault. Participants in The Men’s Program showed significant change in the expected direction on a range of variables assessing likelihood of raping and likelihood of intervening if they witness a sexual assault occurring.
