abstract="How institutions of higher education respond to campus sexual assault impacts the well-being and academic success of student survivors. Researchers at the Center for Institutional Courage developed an 11-step framework for campuses to respond to sexual assault in a manner that minimizes harm. This mixed-methods study uses the framework to understand college victim advocate perceptions of campus response to sexual assault. <br><br>RESULTS from a national survey and four focus groups found that advocates identify courageous response efforts as strong relationships across campus units, availability of trauma-informed services, and when resources were available to meet students' direct needs. The critical role of leadership throughout the framework was also identified. Implications for policy and practice are discussed.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
