酒精是最常见的“强奸毒品”，多达三分之二的受害者在袭击前饮酒。令人惊讶的是，很少有研究研究强奸期间因使用包括酒精在内的物质而受损或丧失行为能力的受害者的攻击和攻击后的经历。因此，目前的研究评估了340名未受损、受损和丧失行为能力的大学强奸受害者的攻击和攻击后体验。结果表明，这三个群体在几个攻击特征上存在差异，包括袭击者的威胁、受害者的抵抗以及与袭击者的关系。此外，损伤和丧失工作能力与攻击后的几个因素有关，包括自责、耻辱和有问题的饮酒。结果还强调了受害者经历的相似之处，包括攻击后痛苦的程度。讨论了这些发现对未来调查受损和丧失行为能力的性侵犯受害者的研究的意义。
Alcohol is the most common, "rape drug," with up to two-thirds of victims consuming alcohol prior to the assault. Surprisingly, little research has examined the assault and postassault experiences of victims who were impaired or incapacitated as a result of substance use, including alcohol, during a rape. Thus, the current study evaluated the assault and postassault experiences of a sample of 340 nonimpaired, impaired, and incapacitated college rape victims. Results supported that these three groups differed in several assault characteristics, including threats by the assailant, resistance by the victim, and relationship with the assailant. In addition, impairment and incapacitation were associated with several postassault factors, including self-blame, stigma, and problematic alcohol use. Results also highlighted similarities in victims' experiences, including levels of postassault distress. Implications of the findings for future research investigating impaired and incapacitated sexual assault victims are discussed.
