Abstract
Participants (N=276; 75% female) read campus sexual assault emails (54%) and found the content helpful (46%). Qualitative data showed students found CSA emails helpful (raising awareness of CSA, knowing the circumstances, and resources), but that the emails lack content, accountability, structure, prevention, and can be triggering.
