Abstract
Hi, Reddit. I'm Laura Salazar, associate professor of health promotion
and behavior at the School of Public Health at Georgia State University.
I have developed a web-based training program targeted at college-aged
men that has been found to be effective in reducing sexual assaults and
increasing the potential for bystanders to intervene and prevent such
attacks. I'm also working on a version aimed at college-aged women. I
research the factors that lead to sexual violence on campuses and
science-based efforts to address this widespread problem. I also
research efforts to improve the sexual health of adolescents and adults,
who are at heightened risk for sexually transmitted infections and HIV.
Here is an article for more information I'm signing off. Thank you all
for your questions and comments.
