ClinConnect Summary

The SCALE trial is a research study aimed at preventing sexual violence among university men in Vietnam. It will compare two different strategies for implementing a web-based program called GlobalConsent, which is designed to help reduce sexual violence. The study will look at how well each strategy works, how much they cost, and what factors contribute to their success. By gathering data from six universities in Vietnam, the researchers hope to find the best ways to launch this important program on a larger scale, ultimately improving the safety and health of young men.

To participate in this study, young men aged 18 to 24 who identify as heterosexual or bisexual and are first-year students at one of the six universities can join. Faculty members at these universities can also take part in climate surveys to help provide valuable insights. Participants can expect to be involved in activities that support the implementation of GlobalConsent, contributing to a safer environment on campus. The trial is currently recruiting participants and aims to gather important information that can guide future efforts in sexual violence prevention.
