This study utilizes implementation science principles to culturally adapt a pre-existing web-based application (WebApp) for use with college students. The ADAPT-ITT process will be utilized to adapt the WebApp to a diverse (race, ethnicity, gender/sexual identity) college population with a focus on life skills and holistic self-care as reinforcement to currently available primary prevention programming available to incoming students. The study hypothesis is that the adapted WebApp will be usable, acceptable, and students will be willing to use it as a reinforcement to current university primary prevention programming. The study team will also monitor retention of participants over the academic year. This is a repeat pilot test to evaluate changes implemented to the WebApp after the initial pilot during the 2017-2018 academic year.

Exclusion criteria
MKit is a web-based application that uses a life-skills approach to address healthy relationships and sexual violence. It includes 14 tiles which incorporate information, goal setting, and resources.
Time frame: 1-month
Usability of the MKit WebApp will be measured using the 10-item System Usability Scale. Participants in the experimental group will complete the System Usability Scale, which is a 10 item questionnaire with responses that are rated from 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 5 (Strongly Agree) regarding use of the MKit WebApp. To get a final score: 1) First, one is subtracted from the score of the odd items; 2) Second, the responses are subtracted from 5 for the even-numbered items; 3) Then the responses are summed and multiplied by 2.5 to get a range of 0-100. A score above 68 is considered above average for perceived usability.

The 5-item System Acceptability Scale (investigator created) will be used to evaluate the acceptability of the WebApp in the intervention group only. An investigator-created acceptability scale with 5-items will be used to measure acceptability. Four items are scored from 1 (Strongly Agree/Very Likely) to 5 (Strongly Disagree/Very Unlikely) and will be reverse coded. One item assesses the frequency of use of the WebApp from 1 (Never) to 5 (Multiple times a week). All five items will be summed for a total score. Scores range from 5-25, with higher scores indicating greater acceptability.

Time frame: 1-Month
The retention rate will be calculated based on how many participants in the intervention group have completed the follow-up surveys. A total retention rate (those retained/those enrolled) will be computed based on interaction with the WebApp.

The 10-item Sexual Experiences Survey will be used to measure participants' experiences of sexual violence victimization. The revised Sexual Experiences Survey - Short Form Victimization includes 10 items that are used to assess the frequency of seven victimization behaviors and then uses three questions to explore the sex of the perpetrator and if the participant believes they were raped. We will be items 1-7 to assess the number of times an individual has experienced victimization over the last 1 month from 0 to 3+ times. The results will be scored as a percentage of participants who have experienced each individual behavior and the percentage who report that they have experienced a rape.

The results will be scored as a percentage of participants who have experienced each individual behavior and the percentage who report that they have experienced a rape.

The 10-item Sexual Experiences Survey will be used to measure participants' experiences of sexual violence perpetration. The revised Sexual Experiences Survey - Short Form Perpetration includes seven items that are used to assess the frequency of perpetration of sexual violence behaviors and three questions that explore the sex of the victims and if the individual believes they have perpetrated a rape. We will be using these to assess the number of times an individual has perpetrated sexual violence over the last 1 month from 0 to 3+ times. The results will be scored as a percentage of participants who have perpetrated each individual behavior and the percentage who believe they have perpetrated a rape.

The results will be scored as a percentage of participants who have perpetrated each individual behavior and the percentage who believe they have perpetrated a rape.

Twenty knowledge questions about sexual and intimate partner violence adapted from the Texas Education Program Participant Response Form will be used to assess knowledge of healthy relationships, sexual violence, and intimate partner violence. The questions are scored from 1 (no knowledge) to 5 (a lot of knowledge) with higher scores indicating more knowledge. Possible sum scores range from 20 (no knowledge) to 100 (a lot of knowledge about all of the topics).

Self-efficacy of protective behaviors related to sexual and intimate partner violence will be assessed using a questionnaire developed by the investigators. Participants will complete a 15 item questionnaire with responses ranging from 1 (not at all confident) to 7 (very confident) related to confidence in ability to handle situations related to sexual and intimate partner violence. The total score for each participant can range from 15 (not at all confident in any of the behaviors) to 105 (very confident in all behaviors).

Two yes/no questions adopted from a colleague will be used to assess whether or not participants have ever engaged in sexual contact or intercourse that they found out was not consensual after the fact in the last 1 month. If they respond affirmatively then they will be asked an additional 14 descriptive questions about the event. Percent of students reporting ever engaging in sexual intercourse or contact that was not consensual will be reported.
