Assessing Readiness for Campus Hazing Prevention

Health Education &Behavior, Ahead of Print.
This case study examined community readiness in a cohort of U.S. universities. Drawing on the Community Readiness Model (CRM), the extent to which a campus was ready to implement a comprehensive hazing prevention plan was assessed. The study was designed to help build the knowledge base using the CRM to systematically assess the cohort’s work to prevent hazing. Methods. Utilizing the CRM, key informants were interviewed. Interview data were scored using CRM rating scales and then coded following basic interpretive methods of qualitative analysis. Scores determined levels of readiness while data were analyzed for emergent themes related to a comprehensive approach to hazing prevention. Results. The CRM assessment revealed preplanning stages of readiness, meaning campus staff considered hazing prevention to be important and asking what should be done. Emergent themes that may strengthen and sustain hazing prevention in higher education are identified and discussed. Conclusions. Indications that the CRM may be useful for hazing prevention research and practice can contribute to the development of a knowledge base to support efficacy and assist campus communities in focusing their work while directing efforts toward higher levels of readiness.
