Campus Interview Guide

The goal of these interviews is to collect information regarding campus’ experiences with the OWH College Sexual Assault Policy and Prevention Initiative. Questions in this discussion guide include overarching discussion questions with sub-questions to provide details.

Introduction.

The goal of this interview is to learn about campus programmatic and policy development in relation to the College Sexual Assault Policy and Prevention Initiative (CSAPP), funded by the Office on Women’s Health. The findings from this interview will inform a final report, developed by NORC at the University of Chicago, detailing major accomplishments from the Initiative, any problems encountered, and lessons learned. This interview is not evaluating you or the success of your Initiative, but rather to inform future programs and prevention initiatives.
