Overview
The study targets three aims: Aim 1: focuses on PIs' and mentors' confidence in their ability to intervene on sexual harassment and their attitudes, perceptions, and knowledge (APK) about sexual harassment, civility, microaggressions, and unconscious bias. Aim 2: focuses on trainees' experiences of sexual harassment and microaggressions and civility, sense of belonging, well-being, productivity, and persistence in a research career. Aim 3: focuses on the culture and climate of the research learning environment.
Detailed description
Participants (PIs, mentors, and trainees), starting in year one, will be asked to complete a baseline survey (using the secure survey software Qualtrics) regardless of condition assignment. Then, for several months, PIs, mentors, and mentees will receive virtual educational materials (presented using a Learning Management System) appropriate to the condition to which their program has been randomized.
The initial post-survey for PIs and mentors will be shortly after the final module to evaluate short-term outcomes, encompassing attitudes, perceptions, and knowledge. Subsequently, the second post-survey will be administered one year later. Trainees will participate in three post-surveys: one immediately after, another one year later, and a final one two years later.
Interventions
- Behavioral E-STOP online educational program (treatment condition)
Participants access online video modules through an online learning platform. Program includes modules on civility and upstander interventions and education about sexual harassment, microaggressions, and implicit bias. - Behavioral E-STOP online educational program (control condition)
Participants access online video modules through an online learning platform. Program includes authorship ethics only.
Primary outcome measures
- Confidence to Intervene on Sexual Harassment Scale Score [Time frame: Survey at baseline, immediately post-intervention (9 months after baseline), and 1 year after the completion of the 9-month intervention]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
- Persistence in research careers [Time frame: baseline, immediately post-intervention (9 months after baseline), and 1 year after completion of the 9-month intervention.]
- Experiences of sexual harassment as measured by the short Sexual Experiences Questionnaire (SEQ-DoDs) [Time frame: baseline, immediately post-intervention (9 months after baseline), and 1 year after completion of the 9-month intervention.]
