Summary

Since 2015, Uppsala Tjej- och Transjour has run school sessions for secondary school pupils in Uppsala municipality, from year 9 to year 2. The school session is a 120-minute workshop and focuses on increasing knowledge and changing attitudes about consent, reciprocity and sexual violence. The intervention aims to increase participants' knowledge about consent, reciprocity, sex, sexuality and sexual violence in order to create positive attitudinal changes around gender and sexual violence and influence behaviour. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of Uppsala Tjej- och Transjour's school intervention on young people's knowledge, attitudes and behaviour regarding consent, reciprocity and sexual violence. A cluster randomised controlled trial with 16 clusters (89 participants in each cluster) in each arm, a total of 32 clusters. Schools are randomised after baseline measurement to receive the intervention in autumn 2023 or spring 2024 (waiting list). Data collection is done through a questionnaire at two measurement points. A baseline measurement before the intervention (T1) and measurement two (T2) 6 months later. There are still few violence prevention programmes in Sweden that have been evaluated for effectiveness, and several programmes come from the USA. This study is based on a Swedish material and constitutes an important contribution to the development of more effective methods for violence prevention and increased insights into reciprocity and consent.

The intervention consists of a 120-minute workshop led by a representative from Uppsala Tjej- och Transjour and aims to reduce the vulnerability and prevalence of sexual harassment, sexual violence and to counteract men's violence against women and violence in close relationships by raising awareness among pupils, school staff and guardians about sexual health among young people.
