  1. Primary PreventionEffective and Progressive Programming to Prevent Sexual Violence Alexis V. Marbach, MPH April 26, 2011

  2. Learning Objectives • Identify current methods of sexual assault prevention. • Define “primary prevention” and how this method of prevention differs from traditional methods. • Identify programs that direct service providers can use to engage in the primary prevention of sexual assault.

  3. What do your current prevention programs look like? • Can you identify: • The target audience • Two main messages • A tangible skill that a participant learns • An action that a participant is supposed to take after attending a workshop

  4. Managing the inevitable • Many current prevention programs do not ultimately translate into reducing sexual violence, they teach us how to respond to an assault that has already occurred or will eventually occur. • These programs focus on risk reduction and awareness building.

  5. Risk reduction and awareness building • The potential victim has the responsibility of protecting themselves. • The likelihood that a sexual assault will occur does not change

  6. When we only use these two methods…

  10. Goals of primary prevention • Change social norms by changing knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, behavior, and skills that support sexual violence • Promoting behaviors that define and support gender equity, healthy relationships, and conflict resolution (inc. safe and effective bystander intervention)

  11. Social Norms Theory • People misperceive the extent to which their peers hold certain attitudes or participate in certain behaviors. • When people don’t know their peer’s real attitudes or beliefs, they are likely to be influenced by what they think peers think and do rather than what they actually think and do.
