    The focus group provided feedback on a sample survey about sexual assault on campus. Key findings included: - Add a section for potential perpetrators to share perspectives and access support resources. - Clearly define terms, explain the empowering aspect of "survivor" versus "victim", and alternate term use. - Keep the survey between 5-10 minutes, no more than 30 minutes. Vary question types and response options. - To improve participation, divide the survey into sections, set a time for students to take it, offer incentives, and provide a convenient option to save responses. - Conduct the survey during Sexual Assault Awareness Month to engage more students. - Avoid repetition in questions
