Despite increased efforts to prevent sexual assault in military environments, the problem continues at an alarming rate. Sexual assault prevention programs (SAPP) attempt to respond to this issue, yet little is known about their effectiveness within a military environment. This randomized controlled trial examined the potential efficacy of the 2015 United States Air Force (USAF) SAPP compared to that same program with an additional motivational interviewing (MI) enhancement. The MI enhancement involved both self-guided and group discussions designed to elicit change talk toward preventing sexual assault through bystander interventions. Research questions included the general efficacy of the USAF's SAPP in shifting factors linked to sexual assault, specifically participants' endorsement of beliefs associated with sexual assault, beliefs eceived the pretest via e-mailabout intervening as a bystander when confronted with a hypothetical sexual assault situation, and participants' reported willingness to intervene to stop a sexual assault. Fifty-one college students participated, of whom 64% had a history of military involvement. Primary outcome measures included bystanders' willingness and confidence to intervene as well as indicators of rape myth acceptance. Participants in the standard USAF SAPP showed no significant change in willingness or confidence to intervene as bystanders from pretest to posttest. By contrast, those who received a relatively short MI enhancement showed statistically significant increases in their willingness to intervene as bystanders. Neither group showed changes in sexual assault myths. Enhancing SAPPs with a motivational enhancement effort seems justified, especially given the relative low resources involved in introducing such a program.

性侵犯预防：标准军事干预和动机访谈增强的随机对照试验。

尽管在防止军事环境中的性侵犯方面做出了更大努力，但问题仍以惊人的速度持续。性侵犯预防计划（SAPP）试图对这一问题做出回应，但对其在军事环境中的有效性知之甚少。这项随机对照试验研究了2015年美国空军（USAF）SAPP与同一个计划相比的潜在功效，并附加了动机访谈（MI）增强功能。心肌梗塞的增强包括自我引导和小组讨论，旨在引起改变话题，以通过旁观者干预防止性侵犯。研究问题包括美国空军的SAPP在改变与性侵犯有关的因素方面的一般功效，特别是参与者对与性侵犯有关的信念的认可，当面对假设的性侵犯情况时，信念通过电子邮件收到了关于参加者作为旁观者的预测试，参与者表示愿意干预以阻止性侵犯。51名大学生参加，其中64％的人有过军事参与的历史。主要结果指标包括旁观者进行干预的意愿和信心，以及接受强奸神话的指标。从预测试到后测试，参加标准USAF SAPP的参与者在作为旁观者进行干预的意愿或信心上均没有显着变化。相比之下，那些获得相对较短的心梗改善的人，其参加旁观者干预的意愿在统计学上显着增加。两组均未显示性侵犯神话的变化。
