目的：目前的研究考察了女性从高中过渡到大学期间饮酒的自然轨迹，考虑了最初不同饮酒水平的学生饮酒的变化。我们检验了这样一种假设，即大学饮酒与性侵害之间的联系对于高中饮酒经历较少的女性来说更为强烈。方法：在毕业时从社区招募女大学生，高中毕业生（N = 437）。在高中毕业时（时间0 [T0]）和大学第一学期（T1）和第二学期（T2）结束时评估酒精消费和性受害情况。结果：不饮酒者和轻度饮酒者的酒精摄入量从TO增加到T1；然而，那些已经重度间歇性饮酒的人的饮酒量保持稳定。从T1到T2，任何组的消耗量都没有增加。正如预期的那样，大学期间最大的酒精消费量与同一学期遭受无行为能力的强奸或其他性侵害密切相关；然而，之前的饮酒经历并没有缓和这种关系。结论：大学期间大量饮酒的场合对有经验和没有经验的饮酒者都是性侵害的重要危险因素。研究结果指出，最好是在大学入学前进行普遍预防，以此作为减少大量饮酒的策略，从而减少大学性侵害。(j .螺栓。酒精和药物，73,26-33,2012年)
Objective: The current study examined the natural trajectories of alcohol use among women as they transitioned from high school to college, considering changes in drinking for students at initially different levels of drinking. We examined the hypothesis that the association between college drinking and sexual victimization would be stronger for women with less high school drinking experience. Method: Female, college-bound, high school seniors were recruited from the community at the time of graduation (N = 437). Alcohol consumption and sexual victimization were assessed at the time of high school graduation (Time 0 [T0]) and at the end of the first (T1) and second (T2) semesters of college. Results: Abstainers and light drinkers increased alcohol consumption from TO to T1; however, consumption by those already engaging in heavy episodic drinking remained stable. Consumption did not increase for any group from T1 to T2. As expected, maximum consumption in college was strongly associated with experiencing incapacitated rape or other sexual victimization during the same semester; however, prior drinking experience did not moderate the relationship. Conclusions: Occasions of heavy drinking in college are a significant risk factor for sexual victimization for both experienced and inexperienced drinkers. Findings point toward universal prevention, ideally before college entry, as a strategy for reducing heavy episodic drinking and hence, college sexual victimization. (J. Stud.
