One in Four

One in Four, Inc. previously NO MORE is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization dedicated to prevent rape by the thoughtful application of theory and research to rape prevention programming. One in Four provides presentations, training, and technical assistance to men and women, with a focus on all-male programming targeted toward colleges, high schools, the military, and local community organizations. We also serve as an umbrella organization and support system for all-male sexual assault peer education groups who call themselves "One in Four " chapters. We distribute educational videos to organizations nationwide. In addition, we sponsor the "One in Four" national tour, whereby professional peer-educators travel nationwide to present rape prevention programs to boys and men.

What is "The Men's Program"?

One in Four, Inc. previously NO MORE advocates the use of a comprehensive approach to rape prevention that includes many research-based efforts. Based on our commitment to applying theory and research to our programs, we use and advocate the use of "The Men's Program ." This program is a one hour workshop titled "How to Help a Sexual Assault Survivor: What Men Can Do." The Men's Program is usually presented by trained male peer educators to all-male groups, however many other have presented the program, including women in rape crisis centers and university settings where male presenters are not currently available. Published research shows that this unique program has the dual benefit of educating men how to help women recover from a rape experience while lowering men's rape myth acceptance and their self-reported likelihood of raping. The Men's Program is also the name of the training manual authored by John Foubert that is available from Brunner-Routledge Publishers. This manual provides educated rape prevention practitioners with a comprehensive guide to creating a sexual assault peer education group from the ground up.

Why "The Men's Program?"

"The Men's Program" has been shown by an article published in the January 2000 issue of the Journal of American College Health to significantly decrease men's belief in rape myths and significantly lower men's self-reported likelihood of raping for an entire seven-month academic year. Among "high risk" men, 75% of them report a lower likelihood of raping after seeing the program - an effect that maintains its impact for at least seven months.
