Abstract:
Using a mixed methods approach, this study sought feedback from Black college women (n = 60) on an existing Video Vignette Risk Perception Measure (VVRPM) developed for assessing women's awareness of behavioral and environmental risk cues of sexual assault. Findings from this study suggest that the current VVRPM is not an accurate measure for assessing SA risk cue awareness in Black college women as it is not culturally congruent with their lived experiences (e.g., dress, lighting, music, activities). Incorporation of this feedback will be important for modifying the VVRPM to be culturally specific for use with Black college women.
