Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the impact of providing participants with
- Is Motivate-the-Bystander more effective than the attention control for increasing bystander behaviors?
- Is Motivate-the-Bystander+Alcohol more effective than MTB alone for increasing bystander behaviors?
- Is Motivate-the-Bystander+Alcohol more effective than Motivate-the-Bystander alone for decreasing alcohol use during bystander intervention opportunities? Participants will:
- Complete online measures (e.g., self-reported bystander behaviors, past bystander training, history of bystander intervention attempts, sexual experiences, drinking behaviors, and other substance use behaviors)
- Complete either MTB, MTB+ALC, or the attention control condition online
- Complete the virtual reality simulation in the lab
- Complete electronic daily diary follow-up surveys about alcohol use and bystander intervention

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
Alcohol use
Alcohol use quantity is assessed with electronic daily diaries weekly for 9 months.
months 0-9
Daily self-reports of bystander behavior
Bystander behavior is assessed with electronic daily diaries weekly for 9 months.
months 0-9
Observational bystander behavior
Bystander behavior is assessed with a virtual environment called Bystander in Sexual Assault Virtual Environments (B-SAVE). Participants experience a virtual "house party" and are exposed to 10 situations in which they can intervene or not. Responses are recorded and coded for the presence and effectiveness of intervention attempts.
1-week follow-up
