IDEA3 Intervention for Domestic Violence
(IDEA3-IPV Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial aims to determine if the IDEA3 program, delivered online, can help reduce intimate partner violence among female college students. Participants will either engage in the IDEA3 Sexual Assault Resistance Intervention program or attend a one-time consent workshop. The study will compare violence rates between these two groups. Female-identifying college students who participated in the initial IDEA3 study in September 2024 or later and completed the follow-up survey may be eligible to join this trial. As an unphased trial, this study offers a unique opportunity to contribute to important research that could lead to safer environments for college students.
Do I have to stop taking my current medications for this trial?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It seems unlikely that medication use would affect participation, as the study focuses on a program to prevent intimate partner violence.
What prior data suggests that the IDEA3 intervention is safe for participants?
Research has shown that the IDEA3 Sexual Assault Resistance Program is safe for participants. In previous studies, the program was offered online without reports of harm. Participants completed the program, which includes a series of online sessions led by trained facilitators, without major safety issues. This indicates that the program is generally well-received by participants. Those with concerns about joining should contact the study team.12345
Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about the IDEA3 Sexual Assault Resistance Intervention because it approaches the issue of domestic violence with a focus on prevention through education, which is different from traditional support services or counseling offered after an incident. Unlike current options that often address the aftermath of domestic violence, the IDEA3 intervention proactively empowers participants with strategies and skills before an incident can occur. Delivered via Zoom by trained facilitators, it offers an accessible and scalable solution that can reach groups of female-identified university students in a flexible, online format. This innovative method has the potential to significantly reduce the incidence of sexual assault by fundamentally changing the way individuals understand and negotiate consent in their everyday interactions.
What evidence suggests that the IDEA3 intervention is effective for preventing intimate partner violence?
Studies have shown that the IDEA3 program, available to participants in this trial, effectively lowers the risk of intimate partner violence (IPV) among college women. Research indicates that this online program helps participants recognize and understand risky situations, leading to better self-protection. In previous trials, the program significantly reduced instances of sexual assault compared to those who didn't participate. Initial findings suggest that the program's strategies are especially helpful for younger women and those with prior victimization experiences. Overall, the IDEA3 program has proven successful in reducing IPV risks.13678

Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
IDEA3 curriculum will be delivered by pairs of trained facilitators over Zoom to reach up to 8 pairs of female-identified university students in four, 3-hour units. The four units will be spread over two to four weeks' time.
Randomized participants who do not receive the intervention will receive one 60-minute session consisting of an internet delivered (Zoom) consent workshop.
