32 Participant Satisfaction & Safety Majority of participants. Would recommend GBCC to others Felt safe at GBCC Do not feel sexual violence is a problem at GBCC 32

33 Perceptions of How GBCC Might Handle a Report of Sexual Misconduct Majority of participants. Believed college officials would take report seriously and hand it fairly Believed GBCC would support and protect the victim and maintain her or his privacy 33

34 Exposure to Sexual Misconduct Information & Education Majority of participants. Reported they had received information about sexual misconduct before attending GBCC Reported low rates of exposure to sexual misconduct info and education at GBCC 34

35 Participant Awareness of Resources & Reporting Options Majority of participants. Do not agree they know where to get help for sexual misconduct on campus, where to go to make a report of sexual misconduct or what happens after a report is made 35

36 Bystander Intervention Majority of participants. Reported they would intervene in hypothetical situations in an effort to increase the safety of others, including their friends Reported they would intervene to help someone in need Less than half of participants Reported that they would speak up against a person making a sexist joke 36

37 Participant Feedback Majority of participants. Found the survey no more or less distressing than other things they encounter in everyday life Believe research on sexual misconduct is very important 37

38 Student Feedback I wish there was more education on this subject Have professors talk shortly about public health safety during beginning of semesters. I think an equally important survey would be able racial discrimination. In an area that lacks diversity so heavily, I think these discussions should be had about making people feel safe from all walks of life, and making sure those students get the respect they deserve Sexual misconduct isn't really an issue. The big issue at GBCC is bullying. Like high school, it is still happening on a day to day basis at GBCC. No one knows who to go to about it because it is never mentioned on who to talk to about it. 38

39 Conclusions 1. Student Demographics diverse backgrounds race, sexual orientation, home life 2. Perceptions of Safety majority of students feel safe on their campuses 3. Knowledge of Resources students need greater understanding of both resources and policies. 4. Bystander Engagement Significant opportunities for education 39

40 Conclusions This study informs CSAPP NH current programs and provides further direction for our initiatives in the areas of: Education on how to report an incident Enhancing support for unique student populations, including LGBTQ students, minority students, and students with families Increasing education encouraging positive bystander intervention 40
