Summary

This study adapts a proven sexual assault resistance program for transgender and nonbinary undergraduates aged 18–25. The intervention, called TEA3, is a 15-hour online program that teaches skills to detect and resist sexual assault. Researchers will test whether the adapted program is feasible and acceptable, and whether it boosts participants' confidence in their ability to defend themselves.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
TEA3 intervention, a 15-hour online sexual assault resistance program adapted for transgender and nonbinary students
What this could lead to
If successful, this could become one of the first evidence-based sexual assault prevention interventions specifically designed for transgender and nonbinary college students.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 80 participants, so results may not generalize widely. The intervention is still being adapted and tested for feasibility, not yet proven to reduce victimization.
