Air force cadets test new programs to curb sexual assault and drinking
NCT ID NCT06875284
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two programs—one focused on sexual communication and consent, the other on reducing alcohol misuse—among over 2,000 U.S. Air Force Academy cadets. Cadets received one or both programs, and researchers tracked self-reported sexual assault experiences and alcohol use over nine months. The goal was to see if combining these programs works better than either alone.
