PROJECT ABSTRACT Despite increased attention over the past decade, alcohol-involved sexual violence continues to be widespread on college campuses. Existing interventions, which include bystander training, education programs, and brief interventions, take an essentially global approach to the prevention of harmful alcohol use and sexual violence, and largely neglect the social and situational contexts in which drinking occurs. A combination of campus policies, behavioral interventions, and community-level interventions are likely needed to address this complex problem. Alcohol-involved sexual violence can be conceptualized as a system with feedback loops between various individual-level behaviors as well as between contexts and behaviors. Agent-based models (ABMs) are a methodological tool that can incorporate dynamics between behavioral, social, and structural environments and their impacts on hazardous alcohol use and sexual violence. They can be used to simulate the implementation of intervention(s) across a wide range of college campuses and populations. The usefulness of a given ABM, however, is limited by its accuracy, focus, and salience to end users. A stakeholder-engaged model-building process greatly enhances the relevance and usefulness of models that explicitly account for dynamic processes. The overall goal of this proposal is to create a stakeholder-designed ABM that can serve as a decision support tool to help campuses reduce alcohol-involved sexual violence among students. To achieve this goal, we will first develop a stakeholder-designed systems model of hazardous drinking, SV, and intervention opportunities on college campuses through a series of stakeholder-engaged model building sessions guided by a Core Modeling Team (Aim 1). We will leverage a learning collaborative of campus stakeholders including students, practitioners from health and counseling centers, Title IX coordinators, residential counselors, and so forth, from an ongoing alcohol-involved SV RCT involving 28 college campuses in Pennsylvania and West Virginia to recruit 60 student and non-student stakeholder experts to 6 stakeholder model building groups. The integrated systems model will be then translated into an ABM of alcohol use and sexual violence using an ABM platform with realistic synthetic populations that provides a population foundation for community-based simulations (The Framework for Reconstructing Epidemiologic Dynamics (FRED)) (Aim 2). We will then develop and assess the preliminary feasibility of stakeholder-informed, ABM- based decision support tools to optimize campus interventions to reduce alcohol-involved sexual violence (Exploratory Aim 3). This innovative, empirically-based approach, using stakeholder-engaged modeling to design an ABM and ABM-based decision support tools, can guide campus-level policy and programmatic changes, leading to improved implementation of effective strategies to address alcohol-involved sexual violence, promote prevention strategies among students, and stimulate campus-level policy changes.

项目摘要 尽管过去十年越来越受到关注，但与酒精有关的性暴力仍然普遍存在 在大学校园里。现有的干预措施，包括旁观者培训、教育计划和简短的干预措施 干预措施，采取本质上全球性的方法来预防有害饮酒和性暴力， 并且在很大程度上忽视了饮酒发生的社会和情境背景。校园组合 可能需要政策、行为干预和社区一级的干预措施来解决这一复杂问题 问题。与酒精相关的性暴力可以被概念化为一个系统，其之间有反馈循环 各种个人层面的行为以及环境和行为之间的关系。基于代理的模型（ABM）是 一种方法论工具，可以整合行为、社会和结构环境之间的动态 及其对危险饮酒和性暴力的影响。它们可用于模拟 在广泛的大学校园和人群中实施干预措施。的用处 然而，特定的 ABM 因其准确性、重点和对最终用户的显着性而受到限制。利益相关者参与 模型构建过程极大地增强了模型的相关性和实用性，这些模型明确考虑了 动态过程。该提案的总体目标是创建一个由利益相关者设计的 ABM，可以服务于 作为决策支持工具，帮助校园减少学生中涉及酒精的性暴力。到 为了实现这一目标，我们将首先开发一个由利益相关者设计的危险饮酒、SV 和 通过一系列利益相关者参与的模型构建，为大学校园提供干预机会 由核心建模团队指导的课程（目标 1）。我们将利用校园的学习协作 利益相关者，包括学生、健康和咨询中心的从业者、第九条协调员、 住宿顾问等，来自正在进行的涉及 28 个大学校园的涉及酒精的 SV RCT 在宾夕法尼亚州和西弗吉尼亚州为 6 个利益相关者招募 60 名学生和非学生利益相关者专家 模型构建组。然后，集成系统模型将转化为酒精使用的 ABM 使用具有现实合成人口的 ABM 平台来应对性暴力，该平台提供了人口 基于社区的模拟的基础（重建流行病学动态框架 （弗雷德））（目标 2）。然后，我们将开发并评估利益相关者知情的 ABM-的初步可行性 基于决策支持工具来优化校园干预措施，以减少与酒精相关的性暴力 （探索性目标 3）。这种基于经验的创新方法利用利益相关者参与的模型来 设计一个ABM和基于ABM的决策支持工具，可以指导校园层面的政策和方案 的变化，从而改进有效战略的实施，以解决与酒精有关的性问题 暴力，在学生中推广预防策略，并促进校园层面的政策变革。
