What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the ASSIST intervention, a web-based program designed to enhance peer support for sexual assault survivors within sorority chapters while reducing the normalization of drinking as a coping mechanism. The study involves a pilot cluster randomized trial where sorority chapters are assigned to either receive the intervention or participate in an assessment-only condition. Participants will complete surveys to document norms and attitudes towards drinking and sexual assault recovery before and after the intervention. The goal is to assess the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of the ASSIST program in fostering a supportive environment for survivors.
