The University of New Hampshire’s campaign to prevent sex assault is based on two programs: "Bringing in the Bystander" was developed in 2002 as an in-person training program that the university’s Prevention Innovations Research Center sells to colleges. The program teaches people to safely intervene when a situation looks as if it could become dangerous, and it is aimed at increasing their willingness to do so. The other program, "Know Your Power," is a newer social-marketing effort that uses 26 images depicting ­real-life scenarios to promote bystander behaviors. New Hampshire's is thought to be the nation’s only research center working to develop prevention strategies based on a scholarly evaluation of what’s effective, says Jane Stapleton, co-director of the center. "We’re developing evidence-based prevention," she says. So far the center has worked with nearly 450 other colleges.
