Objectives of this continuing epidemiologic study of a university employee cohort are: 1) to delineate longer-term consequences of sexual harassment (SH) and generalized workplace abuse (GWA) on deleterious alcohol-related outcomes, 2) to address recent societal transformations in attitudes and institutional responses to SH (using objective and self-report data), hypothesized changes in targets' abilities to actively cope with SH, and hypothesized decreased vulnerability to deleterious drinking outcomes, and 3) to examine the roles that health, mental health and legal service utilization play in protecting targets of SH and GWA from deleterious alcohol-related outcomes. Respondents (N=2,489) who participated in the current study will be resurveyed at waves 3, 4 and 5 (each one year apart). The mail questionnaires will address: SH and GWA experiences since wave 2 data collection, organizational tolerance of sexual harassment, other work stressors, direct active coping, avoidant coping, the elicitation of social supports, utilization of workplace offices dealing with harassment, use of health, mental health and legal professional services, focus of and satisfaction with service provision, symptomatic distress, alcohol use and abuse and the use of other substances, and the timing of SH/GWA experiences and increases in drinking. A variety of multivariate statistical techniques will be utilized to depict changes over time in SH/GWA experiences and their effect on drinking outcomes, and to depict the varied pathways through which harassment and abuse impact on deleterious drinking behaviors. In-depth interview will further elucidate respondents' experiences in directly coping with harassment and abuse and utilizing professional services. Major goals are 1) to contribute to the prevention of work-based harassment and abuse and, 2) to identify sources of help which promote effective coping in place of the self-medication of distress through alcohol use and abuse or the use of other substances.

这项针对大学员工群体的持续流行病学研究的目的是：1）描绘性骚扰（SH）和普遍工作场所虐待（GWA）对与酒精相关的有害结果的长期后果，2）解决最近社会对性骚扰的态度和机构反应的转变（使用客观和自我报告数据），假设目标积极应对性骚扰的能力发生变化， 并假设降低了对有害饮酒结果的脆弱性，3) 研究健康、心理健康和法律服务利用在保护 SH 和 GWA 目标免受与酒精相关的有害结果方面所发挥的作用。 参与当前研究的受访者 (N=2,489) 将在第 3、4 和 5 波（每波间隔一年）接受重新调查。 邮件调查问卷将涉及：自第二波数据收集以来的 SH 和 GWA 经历、组织对性骚扰的容忍度、其他工作压力源、直接主动应对、回避应对、获得社会支持、处理骚扰的工作场所办公室的利用、健康、心理健康和法律专业服务的使用、服务提供的重点和满意度、症状困扰、酗酒和滥用以及其他物质的使用，以及 SH/GWA 的饮酒经历和增加。 将利用各种多元统计技术来描述 SH/GWA 经历随时间的变化及其对饮酒结果的影响，并描述骚扰和虐待对有害饮酒行为的影响的不同途径。 深度访谈将进一步阐明受访者直接应对骚扰和虐待以及利用专业服务的经历。 主要目标是 1) 有助于预防工作中的骚扰和虐待，2) 确定帮助来源，促进有效应对，而不是通过酗酒和滥用或使用其他物质来自我治疗痛苦。
