title: Preventing victimization among young women: TheSafeNightsintervention.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  We examined the effect of a brief intervention, titledSafeNights, to reduce victimization among young college-aged females.
  
  
  METHODS
  A total of 1,048 women participated; 496 participants in the control and 552 in the experimental condition.
  
  
  METHODS
  Young Americans crossing the U.S. border to patronize Tijuana bars were randomly assigned to an intervention as they traveled into Tijuana. Upon returning to the United States, participants provided a breath sample and were interviewed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  SafeNightswas significantly associated with reductions in reported victimization independent of alcohol consumption.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The intervention will be refined for a broader spectrum of collegiate settings at high risk for heavy drinking and potential victimization.
