Community surveys are recognized as an effective way of assessing the living, learning, and work environments of an organization in order to provide insight into the extent to which conditions associated with healthy and supportive environments exist. In the past few years, community surveys at colleges and universities have been used to gain a better understanding of students’ exposure to instances of power-based interpersonal violence and how they perceive institutional response to such incidents.
Community surveys also solicit information about students’ reporting behavior, their knowledge of support services, and their familiarity with processes for the resolution of reports on campus.
Community assessments of this nature are now considered an essential step in developing comprehensive prevention and education programs related to forms of power-based interpersonal violence.
