About One in Four
One in Four is an organization dedicated to preventing sexual assault through the thoughtful application of theory and research to rape prevention programming. Based on our commitment to applying theory and research to our programs, One in Four members use and advocate the use of "The Men's Program." This is a one-hour workshop titled "How to Support a Sexual Assault Survivor: What Men Can Do."
The title of the group is one of the most important points of the chapter's foundation: according to national statistics, One in Four college women will be the victims of assault or attempted assault by the time she graduates college. The chapter's aim is to actively educate men and women about rape and sexual assault until it is NO MORE.
One in Four has also been selected as the winners of the UCI Values Campaign for Winter 2007!

Quick Facts about "The Men's Program"
| Title: |
"How to Support a Sexual Assault Survivor:
What Men Can Do."
|
Format:
|
All-male, peer education program.
|
| Goals: |
Help men understand how to help women recover from rape. Make men less likely to be sexually
coercive with women.
|
| Basis: |
Rooted in research literature showing the efficacy of all-male, peer education format that relies on victim empathy and increasing men's aversion to rape. Based on 2 models of attitude change (belief system theory and the elaboration likelihood model), where material is presented in a format perceived as relevant to the audience -- addressing men as potential helpers, not as potential rapists.
|
| Content: |
Building victim empathy, teaching men how to support women in their recovery from sexual assault, challenging men to change their own behavior and influence others.
|
| Effects: |
Significantly improves men's understanding of how to help women recover from sexual assault. Significantly lowers men's rape myth acceptance and likelihood of raping for an entire academic year - longer than any other program evaluated in the research literature Schewe, 1999). Fully 75% of "high risk" men who see "The Men's Program" report lower likelihood of raping after the program concludes -- an effect which lasts an entire academic year.
