Summary

This study tests whether training bar staff to intervene in risky situations can reduce sexual violence at alcohol-serving venues. About 3,180 staff and patrons will be surveyed over a year. Some venues get the training right away; others get it later. Researchers will compare rates of sexual assault and harassment between the two groups.
