Article Abstract
This study examines the attention-seeking strategies of sexual assault organizations on Twitter in Canada, exploring the factors influencing the level of attention received. Drawing on the foundation work of Guo and Saxon's four-factor explanatory model, the research extends and refines the model by incorporating new factors, including Covid-related content, network size, intended audience, direct services, donations, and visual content. The study's methodology involved sampling 124 sexual assault and rape crisis centers in Canada, collecting Twitter data ( = 320,836 Tweets up to April 2023), and employing ordinary least squares and fixed effect regression analysis. Results showed significant relationships between these factors and attention received, providing insights for both theoretical understanding and practical guidance.

Sex offender registration and notification (SORN) policies have significantly destabilizing material and psychosocial collateral consequences for people required to register. There are strong theoretical and anecdotal reasons to believe that SORN policies likely increase substance-use-related harms for registrants. However, no research has directly examined relationships between SORN policies and substance-use-related harms.
