Objective:
We examined the effect of a brief intervention, titled SafeNights, to reduce victimization among young college-aged females.
Participants:
A total of 1,048 women participated; 496 participants in the control and 552 in the experimental condition.
Method:
Young Americans crossing the U.S. border to patronize Tijuana bars were randomly assigned to an intervention as they traveled into Tijuana. Upon returning to the United States, participants provided a breath sample and were interviewed.
Results:
SafeNights was significantly associated with reductions in reported victimization independent of alcohol consumption.
Conclusions:
The intervention will be refined for a broader spectrum of collegiate settings at high risk for heavy drinking and potential victimization.
