 | RaeAnn Anderson, PhD Project Update: Empowering Indigenous College Women to Stop Rape: A Treatment Development Study |
From the Self Defense for Indigenous Peoples Study Report:
"We found that Indigenous college students are willing to engage in many different strategies to reduce sexual violence for themselves and their communities. Within Indigenous communities we learned that Indigenous men recognize violence as a problem; in contrast to findings with non-Hispanic White populations.
The online, combined, sexual violence and substance use reduction program was most preferred but any of the tested programs were acceptable in large numbers. The COVID 19 pandemic affected our recruitment and outreach procedures. The earned mistrust of researchers in general may also have affected findings; 32.8% of the sample said that they do not trust researchers.
We hope these findings help tribal communities identify sexual assault prevention programs they may wish to implement. We also hope our findings help communities and scholars consider how to make sexual assault programs more culturally acceptable and accessible."
