With existing sexual assault prevention programs, TrueImpact™ could reveal how effective that program is. Ideally, participant scores would significantly increase between pre and post administration.
Furthermore, as organizations seek to tune and tweak educational offerings designed to reduce sexual assault, TrueImpact™ offers insights that can reveal what kinds of interventions participants need most.
When deployed alongside Dimensions Learning’s course, TrueImpact™ can provide valuable feedback about the efficacy of our course.
How is trueimpact™ assessed?
TrueImpact™ can be assessed in multiple ways.
Facilitators can conduct a simple scoring with pen and paper, and our instructions help them derive meaningful results in the moment.

Developed with a leading professor of communication at an R1-ranked research university, TrueImpact™ is a natural fit with your existing sexual assault prevention program.
Of course, TrueImpact™ is a perfect match with Dimensions Learning program as well.
What academic backing does trueimpact™ have?
TrueImpact™ was developed in a multi-year, four-part study with approximately 4,000 participants across all phases of research. It relies on the Experience Sampling Method and Situational Judgment Test, both of which are well-established psychographic models in sociology, psychology, and communication.
