“…The investigators used programming principles to design a program in 2010 called "Stepping Up" (Kostouros et al 2016). This program was a modification of a Canadian high school program called "Making Waves", which consisted of a student-led weekend retreat for students to discuss issues related to dating violence (Cameron et al 2007).…”

“…The healthy relationships module also had to contain some discussion of unhealthy relationships and communication. Since communication and boundaries were inherent in the content of the healthy relationships module, the boundaries and communication module was shifted to focus intentionally on bystander intervention skills (Kostouros et al 2016). A fourth module on sexual relationships was added, ensuring that a discussion was included of healthy as well as unhealthy/violent sexual relationships and consent.…”

Students in postsecondary education are at high risk for experiencing relationship violence, including dating, domestic, and sexual violence. This can result in significant mental and physical health consequences. A relationship violence prevention program has been offered and evaluated for over 10 years at a Canadian university. It is based on a social–ecological model of violence prevention and best practices. Students who completed both pre- and post-program evaluations were used as their own controls to evaluate the effects of the program. Significant changes were noted for most aspects of the program in knowledge, attitudes, and behavioural intents each year, and these changes persisted for up to six months on most measures. The sample sizes were small and potentially overestimated the effect of the program if results were reported individually. Meta-analysis was used to pool the data and examine the effects of the program across the decade. The results indicated that the program was effective in changing knowledge, attitudes, and behavioural intents immediately following the program, but there were insufficient paired data to conduct six-month meta-analyses. Suggestions are made for future programs and further research.

1 | PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY 1.1 | Bystander programs increase bystander intervention but no effect on perpetrating sexual assault Bystander sexual assault prevention programs have beneficial effects on bystander intervention but there is no evidence of effects on sexual assault perpetration. Effects on knowledge and attitudes are inconsistent across outcomes. | What is this review about?Sexual assault is a significant problem among adolescents and college students across the world. One promising strategy for preventing these assaults is the implementation of bystander sexual assault prevention programs, which encourage young people to intervene when witnessing incidents or warning signs of sexual assault. This review examines the effects bystander programs have on knowledge and attitudes concerning sexual assault and bystander behavior, bystander intervention when witnessing sexual assault or its warning signs, and participants' rates of perpetration of sexual assault. What is the aim of this review?This Campbell systematic review examines the effects of bystander programs on knowledge and attitudes concerning sexual assault and bystander intervention, bystander intervention when witnessing sexual assault or its warning signs, and the perpetration of sexual assault. The review summarizes evidence from 27 high-quality studies, including 21 randomized controlled trials. 2 | WHAT ARE THE MAIN FINDINGS OF THIS REVIEW? 2.1 | What studies are included? This review includes studies that evaluate the effects of bystander programs for young people on (a) knowledge and attitudes concerning sexual assault and bystander intervention, (b) bystander intervention behavior when witnessing sexual assault or its warning signs, and (c) perpetration of sexual assault. Twenty-seven studies met the inclusion criteria. These included studies span the period from 1997 to 2017 and ---This is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.were primarily conducted in the USA (one study was conducted in Canada and one in India). Twenty-one studies were randomized controlled trials and six were high quality quasi-experimental studies. | Do bystander programs have an effect on knowledge/attitudes, on bystander intervention, or on sexual assault perpetration?Bystander programs have an effect on knowledge and attitudes for some outcomes. The most pronounced beneficial effects are on rape myth acceptance and bystander efficacy outcomes. There are also delayed effects (i.e., 1 to 4 months after the intervention) on taking responsibility for intervening/acting, knowing strategies for intervening, and intentions to intervene outcomes. There is little or no evidence of effects on gender attitudes, victim empathy, date rape attitudes, and on noticing sexual assault outcomes. Bystander programs have a beneficial effect on bystanderintervention. There is no evidence that bystander programs have an effect on pa...
