TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - Military sexual assault prevention and male rape myth acceptance JO - Military behavioral health A1 - Rosenstein, Judith E. SP - 207 EP - 211 VL - 3 IS - 4 N2 - DISCUSSION of military sexual assault has largely focused on women, but men comprise a large percentage of survivors. Men are also less likely to report or seek care, partly because of rape myths. Rape myth acceptance (RMA) regarding female victims declines following interventions; however, the impact when victims are male is unclear. This cross-sectional study of U.S. Naval Academy midshipmen examines the relationship between an intervention and both types of RMA. One group completed the survey after a mandated sexual assault prevention training, while the other completed it before. More training was associated with lower RMA for both myth types.
