DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The sexual assault of women is a serious public health problem. Young college women as compared to their non-college peers and the general population are disproportionately assaulted or raped by men indicating a need for effective preventive interventions. Much research has been conducted on understanding the risk factors for engaging in sexual violence perpetration, but little research has focused on protective factors. Moreover, most of this research has focused on individual-level characteristics of the perpetrators and to some degree on peer influences. The ecological systems model posits that human behavior is influenced directly and indirectly by various contextual factors located within multiple environmental levels. Before effective prevention programs can be developed, more research is needed that can enhance our understanding of modifiable factors drawn from multiple levels of the environment that buffer or protect men from perpetration in addition to those that place men at risk for perpetration. The proposed study will define a multilevel protective model of sexual violence perpetration among male college students in Georgia. Data will be collected from a random probability-to-proportionate size sample of 30 colleges on factors characterizing each college's response to sexual violence, compliance to federal mandates regarding reporting of sexual violence incidents, and other aspects of the campus setting across an 18-month study period. Data will also be collected online from 30 college administrators and from a convenience sample of 1800 male college students. Generalized hierarchical linear modeling will be used to model the data. Specifically, the project will 1) describe the developmental trajectory of sexual violence perpetration taking individual, familial, peer and college factors into account; 2) identify multilevel protective and risk factors for sexua violence perpetration in the population; 3) define multilevel mediation models for protection of sexual violence perpetration considering college-level factors' direct and indirect influence through individual, familial or peer factors; and 4) define multilevel moderation models for protection of sexual violence perpetration considering college-level factors buffering effects on individual, familial or peer risk factors. The results will be used to inform specific policy and program recommendations to respond to the sexual violence of female college students on college campuses.

描述（由申请人提供）：妇女的性侵犯是一个严重的公共卫生问题。与非大学同龄人相比，年轻的大学妇女和普通人群被男性殴打或强奸，表明需要有效的预防性干预。关于了解从事性暴力实施性暴力的风险因素的研究已经进行了许多研究，但很少的研究集中在保护因素上。此外，这项研究的大部分都集中在肇事者的个体特征上，并在某种程度上介绍了同伴影响。生态系统模型认为，人类的行为直接和间接地受到多个环境层面中的各种背景因素的影响。在开发有效的预防计划之前，还需要进行更多的研究，以增强我们对从多个环境中提取的可修改因素的理解，这些环境可以缓冲或保护男性免受犯罪的影响，而这些因素除了使男性处于犯罪风险的情况下。拟议的研究将定义佐治亚州男性大学生性暴力持续性的多层次保护模型。数据将从30所大学的比例规模样本的随机概率中收集，这些因素表征了每所大学对性暴力的反应，遵守有关性暴力事件报告的联邦授权以及在18个月的研究期间校园环境的其他方面。数据还将从30名大学管理人员和1800名男性大学生的便利样本中在线收集。广义分层线性建模将用于建模数据。具体而言，该项目将1）描述性暴力实施性暴力的发展轨迹，将个人，家族，同伴和大学因素考虑在内； 2）确定人口中性暴力的多级保护和风险因素； 3）定义多层次调解模型，以保护性暴力犯罪，考虑到大学级因素通过个人，家庭或同伴因素的直接和间接影响； 4）定义多层次审核模型，以保护对个人，家庭或同伴危险因素的大学级因素缓冲效应，以保护性暴力犯罪。结果将用于为特定的政策和计划建议提供信息，以应对大学校园中女大学生的性暴力。
