“…Projects which have been independently evaluated report some attitudinal change (Morrison et al 2004), although there is little evidence of a reduction in victimisation (Daigle et al 2009). This has led some researchers to conclude that there is a need to focus on risk factors such as lifestyle and alcohol use alongside rapesupportive attitudes , a potentially controversial finding due to the historic relationship between risk management, victim-blaming and women's oppression.…”

“…These included, small samples, low-risk samples, short-follow-up, inconsistent/peripheral outcome measures and little evaluation of the role of gender on the success of programs (Morrison et al, 2004). Finally, most studies did not use a randomized design.…”

a b s t r a c tBackground: Sexual and intimate partner violence (IPV) is a leading cause of disease burden, with alcohol use strongly related to these behaviors. Online interventions have been shown to be effective in reducing both alcohol use and some alcohol-related problems. These programs are widely available especially to university students, a particularly high-risk group for sexual or IPV. Aim: We aimed to systematically review the evidence for the effectiveness of online alcohol interventions in reducing sexual violence or IPV. Methods: We searched electronic databases (PsycInfo, Embase, Global Health, Medline, CINAHI, Pubmed, and ProQuest) and hand searched key reviews. Results: From 569 titles, 23 were assessed in detail: five articles (four studies) fulfilled the inclusion criteria. All these studies were undertaken in the USA, with three recruiting college students (n = 17,332), and one using an emergency department (n = 262) sample of adolescents. We summarized the characteristics of the samples, the interventions and outcomes for alcohol use and sexual violence or IPV. Most interventions were unguided, with only one group receiving a guided intervention. Effect sizes, where they could be calculated, were small (Cohen's d b 0.2) or not significantly different to zero for alcohol, sexual violence or IPV outcomes. Conclusions: Currently, there are insufficient data to evaluate the effectiveness of online alcohol interventions in reducing sexual or IPV. Given the prevalence of these behaviors and their association with alcohol use, this deficit requires urgent attention.

“…Violence prevention education delivered in schools and universities in particular have been evaluated as having positive effects on boys' attitudes towards violence against women (Whitaker et al, 2006), although there is a call for more evaluations (Lonsway et al, 2009). Male pupils and students who have attended rape education sessions are less likely to uphold rape myths than those who have not (Morrison et al, 2004). There is some evidence to suggest that various educational programmes have reduced men's (self-reported) likelihood to commit rape (Lonsway et al, 2009).…”

“…There is some evidence to suggest that various educational programmes have reduced men's (self-reported) likelihood to commit rape (Lonsway et al, 2009). Oddly, few educational rape prevention programmes are explicitly directed towards boys or men -only 8 per cent in the US (Morrison et al, 2004). Only one programme, 'Safe Dates', was considered to have met evidential standards needed to demonstrate that it had reduced men's actual sexual violence as well as changed their attitudes (Foshee et al, 2004).…”
