Step UP! Program Bystander Pilot Survey and Evaluation

Pilot Test Results

In 2006, 297 student-athletes from three Division I campuses completed a pilot study to investigate intercollegiate student-athletes’ experiences and attitudes around intervention practices in various situations. The student-athlete responses influenced the development of the Step UP! program and data from the survey are used throughout the Step UP! PowerPoint slides.

Bystander Pilot Survey

If you are interested in conducting the Step UP! Program Bystander Survey of student experiences with, and attitudes towards, bystander intervention, you can download the PDF. If you would like your campus to take part in a national web-based study using the Step UP! Program Bystander Survey instrument, contact Susie Bruce (sbruce@virginia.edu) for more information. All campus data will be kept confidential. You will receive an Excel file of your students’ survey results which you can use to tailor the Step UP! program with campus-specific data. Please check with your IRB to see if you will need approval. If you require a copy of The University of Arizona’s IRB approval, email Becky Bell (bell@email.arizona.edu).

Evaluation

The Step UP! Training Post-Test is designed to measure students’ retention of the material and is intended for use immediately after students complete Step UP! training:

The Step UP! Training Evaluation is designed to evaluate the overall efficacy of the training in terms of behavior change and is best used 60 – 90 days after training is complete:

The Step UP! Team is using the Step UP! Training Evaluation instrument to collect confidential data on the impact of the Step UP! program nationally, regardless of whether participants are student-athletes. If you would like to participate in this national web-based assessment, contact Susie Bruce (sbruce@virginia.edu) for more information. You will receive confidential data on your students’ responses.
