First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a web-based program called RealConsent2.0, designed to help young men (ages 21-25) recognize and safely intervene in situations that could lead to sexual violence, especially when alcohol is involved. Over 600 men participated, and their bystander behavior was measured using a virtual reality simulation and self-reports. The goal was to see if the program improves men's willingness and ability to step in and help.
