The prevalence and experience of race related stress among Black male student - athletes : A mixed - method study

Sexual violence is a major problem on college campuses. To combat sexual violence, bystander training has been identified as a primary prevention strategy. The NCAA has highlighted student-athletes as potential key bystanders on campuses. However, no evidence-based bystander programs exist to specifically train male and female studentathletes despite research indicating that student-athletes may differ from their non-athlete peers in terms of attitudes and willingness to intervene. To address this gap, this study will investigate individual and contextual predictors of student-athletes’ willingness to intervene in situations that could lead to sexual violence, which will inform bystander training programs geared toward student-athletes.
