Background: Nearly 18% of university women globally experience sexual violence. Efforts to
prevent sexual violence on college campuses are rare in low- and middle-income countries
(LMICs). Leader and faculty engagement in prevention efforts is critical, especially in LMICs,
where resources are limited and socio-cultural norms may support sexual violence. We present
findings from the first multi-university faculty climate survey across Vietnam, which assessed
knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about sexual violence, and perceptions about acceptability and
feasibility of prevention programming.
Method: 2343 of 3441 faculty (68%) at seven universities completed the baseline survey of an
implementation prevention trial. Faculty reported on demographics; knowledge, attitudes and
beliefs (KAB) about sexual violence; and perceptions of the feasibility and acceptability of
implementing sexual violence prevention programming. Analyses present descriptives for KABs,
overall and by demographics. Multivariable regression was performed to explore predictors of faculty perceptions of feasibility and acceptability of program implementation.
Results: Faculty did not believe sexual violence was rare or problematic at their university. They
tended to endorse rape myths about perpetrators (e.g., “rape happens when a guy gets out of
control”, and beliefs supporting the need for sexual consent were moderate. Faculty reported
positive campus climate for victims of sexual violence and believed sexual violence
programming was acceptable and feasible. Female and younger faculty generally had more
progressive mean scores for KAB measures. Perceived leader support for a positive campus
climate around sexual violence was the strongest predictor of perceived feasibility and
acceptability of sexual violence prevention programming.
Conclusion: Faculty perceived sexual violence prevention programming to be feasible and
acceptable, and these perceptions were strongly related to university leadership’s support for a
positive campus climate around sexual violence. Cultivating visible and consistent leadership
support for sexual violence prevention appears to be crucial to fostering faculty buy-in and
enhancing prevention efforts at universities in Vietnam.
