Sexual assault of women is a persistent national problem on college campuses and local communities. A smartphone app called Circle of 6 was developed to enable young women to get help if they feel they are in an unsafe situation. But is it effective in reducing sexual assaults among young women–in fact, will women even use it?
On Part 2 of the March 10th HealthCetera radio program, producer Diana Mason discusses this question with Teresa Yang, a registered nurse who works in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and has conducted a study of the use of the Circle of 6 app among women college students.
