This video presentation discusses tools to support campus sexual assault prevention and responses.

Abstract

This video presentation published by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) discusses two tools to support campus staff in efforts of sexual assault prevention and responses to sexual assault. The first tool is a checklist to inform and prepare campuses for effective prevention and trauma-informed CSA responses. The second tool is the trauma and research-informed uSafeUS® Campus Violence Prevention and Response Mobile App and accompanying administrator dashboard, providing both sexual violence prevention and post-violence response features to support survivors and direct students to on and off-campus resources 24/7. The long-term goal of the NIJ-funded Campus Sexual Assault and Response (CSAR) study is to support the development of policies, protocols, training, and interventions to prevent and strengthen responses to CSA by campus public safety agencies in partnership with campus health and wellness centers.
