On February 6, GrooveSafe released a Fan Experience Survey, in an effort to obtain a broader view of harassment and sexual assault at live entertainment spaces.
Groovesafe was founded in 2017, with a mission to stop unwanted touching and sexual assault at concerts. The non-profit Groovesafe seeks to create a no-tolerance environment at concerts, with an emphasis on building a consent culture. The effort to be present in the live music scene across all genres helps to bring awareness to sexual misconduct, in the process teaching that a change in behavior starts with a recognition of the problem.
As part of Groovesafe’s mission, this survey will provide the most current, data-driven practices to ensure safety at live events. Part of a broader research study, the survey is designed to assess the prevalence and perceptions of sexual misconduct in live music settings, as well as the response to these types of incidents. GrooveSafe will use the results from this survey to identify strategies for more effectively preventing and addressing sexual misconduct at live music events.
The survey was designed and reviewed by trained academic researchers and has been given Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval. Institutional Review Boards, or IRBs, review research studies to ensure they comply with applicable regulations, meet commonly accepted ethical standards, follow institutional policies, and adequately protect research participants.
Survey takers can be confident that this survey meets these standards. All individual answers will be kept confidential and the results of this survey will be analyzed and then shared in a report based on valid and relevant research methods.
Completing the survey is a quick and free way to positively impact the live music experience, by becoming a part of the solution and ensuring that survey results are representative of the true fan experience. Take the survey here and share with a friend.
Keep an eye out for updates from GrooveSafe about the survey and other ways to support safer live music environments.
