Molly,
Hello. I recently created a survey to pass out to first year students about 
their knowledge, perceptions and attitudes regarding sexual assault. I will 
be passing it out to an English class that is required for incoming 
freshman. It will be coming out of our budget, Health Education and 
Wellness. But, Ohio University also has a Institutional Research Dept. that 
does ongoing research on a wide variety of topics for incoming first year 
students. Unfortunately, it did not have any specific questions on sexual 
assault, and I thought it would be easier to make up my own survey. I 
talked with a professor from another research dept. (within the school of 
journalism) that reviewed my questions and reworded a couple to make them 
more clear. I researched other surveys that had been published to get an 
idea of what was available, but in the end I came up with my own questions 
that I thought would be helpful to explore students knowledge, perceptions 
and attitudes of sexual assault that will help us design our outreach 
programs. The only incentive I could include was to ask the professors to 
give extra credit to students who take the survey (outside of class time). 
If you want to give a monetary incentive, you would need to maybe find 
another funding source. That I don't know about that. It is my hope that if 
this assessment survey is successful, that we might expand it to other 
students.
I hope this helps. If you have more specific questions, please feel free to 
email me.
