Study Summary
This trial will use technology to understand what leads to sexual assault on college campuses. The findings will help develop personalized feedback to reduce risk of assault, risky sex, and substance use.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for college women aged 18-24 who have had sex, use a smartphone, are single and interested in dating men. They must be binge drinkers as defined by having at least 4 drinks on one occasion in the past month. Women with elevated mood symptoms or an AUDIT score over 16 cannot participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests an Ecological Momentary Intervention (EMI) designed to reduce sexual assault, risky sexual behavior, and substance use among college women. It uses real-time assessments to provide personalized risk feedback compared to control groups receiving only assessments or no intervention.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves behavioral interventions rather than medications, traditional side effects like those seen with drugs are not expected. However, participants may experience discomfort or emotional distress when discussing personal experiences related to the study topics.

Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Focus GroupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
To gather preliminary research about the feasibility of an EMI sexual assault intervention prior to an experimental condition. A small group of freshman women (N=20) will participate in an EMI protocol for six weeks, followed by providing feedback about their experience, including issues with phrasing, technical issues, and convenience.
Group II: EMA/EMI ConditionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
To examine whether an EMA/EMI condition, relative to an EMA-only and a minimal assessment-only condition, decreases incidents of sexual assault, risky sexual behavior, and alcohol use among freshman women (N=288). It is hypothesized that the 6-week EMA/EMI condition, relative to the other conditions, will be associated with lower rates of assault, risky sexual sex, and substance use from baseline to a 6-month followup.
Group III: EMA-only ConditionActive Control1 Intervention
To examine situational precipitants of sexual assault, risky sexual behavior, and substance-use among freshman women (N=100) using EMA for 6 weeks. To examine within- and between-persons factors that may influence the relationships among these situational precipitants and adverse consequences.
