Sample
The sample was drawn from 41 diverse college/universities, including community colleges, in Maryland and Oregon. Participants were recruited primarily online, via extensive posting on social media, outreach through campus/student listservs and bulletins, often via campus women’s centers and other similar campus services. Eligibility criteria were: (1) English-speaking, (2) any gender, (3) age 18–24, (4) attending college or university at least part-time in Maryland or Oregon, and (5) reported having a female-identified friend that experienced IPV in the past 6 months (hereafter referred to as the “survivor”). Additionally, participants had to have access to a safe smartphone or computer with internet, safe email, and express comfort with their ability to download an app and/or use the internet.
