Limitations and Strengths
Our trial included several limitations. First, our trial was conducted with first-year college students who identified as women, recruited from 3 universities located in the southeastern United States. Future research should test RealConsent among college women at universities located in other geographical areas of the United States. Second, although it was not extreme, we experienced some loss to follow-up in terms of completion of the respective web-based programs and follow-up survey. It is unclear what the potential reasons were for this loss to follow-up; however, previous research has shown that attrition in web-based trials may be higher than that in in-person trials [
