Intervention type: BEHAVIORAL
Group type: EXPERIMENTAL
Intervention: Junior Enlisted Component
Description: Junior Enlisted Airmen (E4 and below) will complete 10 online modules designed to train them on recognizing SH and SA, healthy and unhealthy relationships, and situations that may increase risk for SH and SA. Participants will adopt and practice a lifestyle paradigm of select-detect-protect, in which service members select their personal rule to have only healthy (non-abusive) relationships with their peers and romantic partners, detect signs and situations that might threaten their rules, and protect their rules using communication, management, and avoidance skills. They will be instructed to adopt a zero-tolerance approach to SH and SA and will receive skills training related to communication and conflict resolution for healthy relationships, reduction of SH and SA perpetration, consent communication, reporting incidents of SH and SA, and bystander intervention. Participants who have experienced SH or SA are encouraged to use the Get Help Now feature to access support 24/7.

Intervention type: BEHAVIORAL
Group type: EXPERIMENTAL
Intervention: Leadership Component
Description: Mid- and advanced-level leaders (E5 and above) will complete 10 online modules designed to train them to recognize forms of SH and SA, how to respond to an incident of SH or SA, and how to create a safe work environment free of SH and SA. Leaders will also adopt and practice the paradigm select-detect-protect. Leaders will select their personal rule to enforce a healthy work environment (free of SH and SA), detect signs and situations that might threaten their rule (e.g., displaying inappropriate pictures on the computer), and protect their rules using communication and management skills. Leaders will also be given background material on SH and SA in the military (e.g., extent of the problem, DoD definitions, and policies) and installation resources for reporting incidents. As with the Junior Enlisted component, Leaders who may have experienced SH or SA are encouraged to use our Get Help Now feature to access support 24/7.

Intervention: Social Marketing Campaign
Description: All participating Airmen (including Junior Enlisted Airmen and Leaders) will be exposed to X-CoRe's social marketing campaign, which includes posters, flyers, postcards, and digital content for social media. Messages are designed to increase awareness of consent and foster Wing-wide norms that are supportive of healthy relationships.

Social marketing materials, such as posters, will be distributed at hot spots for SA (e.g., dorms).
