N2  - OBJECTIVE: We examined the effect of a brief intervention, titled SafeNights, to reduce victimization among young college-aged females. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 1,048 women participated; 496 participants in the control and 552 in the experimental condition. <br><br>METHOD: Young Americans crossing the U.S. border to patronize Tijuana bars were randomly assigned to an intervention as they traveled into Tijuana. Upon returning to the United States, participants provided a breath sample and were interviewed. <br><br>RESULTS: SafeNights was significantly associated with reductions in reported victimization independent of alcohol consumption. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: The intervention will be refined for a broader spectrum of collegiate settings at high risk for heavy drinking and potential victimization.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
