Reducing Sexual Assault Risk and Alcohol Use in College Women

描述（由申请人提供）：大学女生酗酒和性侵犯的风险很高。此外，饮酒和性侵犯一直被发现是相关的，例如，有性侵犯史的女性喝得更多，而饮酒的女性遭受性侵犯的风险更高。尽管研究发现酒精是性侵犯的一个关键风险因素，但酒精并没有被列为性侵犯风险降低（SARR）项目的主要组成部分。该项目将分为两个阶段。第一阶段包括开发和试点一个基于网络的SARR项目，利用以前针对女大学生的SARR项目的有效组成部分，包括性侵犯教育，针对性侵犯的神话，以及降低风险的策略和技能。此外，第二阶段将评估基于网络的个性化反馈酒精干预和性侵犯风险降低（SARR）联合项目（酒精+ SARR）与个性化反馈酒精干预单独条件、SARR单独条件和评估单独控制条件对饮酒行为和性侵犯发生率的影响。其他与性侵犯相关的结果测量将包括性侵犯知识、性侵犯神话、性行为前饮酒和性自信。这项研究的结果将用于将酒精减少计划纳入SARR计划。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): College women are at high risk for heavy drinking and sexual assault. In addition, drinking and sexual assault have consistently been found to be related, such that women with a sexual assault history drink more and women who drink are at higher risk for sexual assault. Despite the finding that alcohol is a critical risk factor for sexual assault, alcohol has not been included as a primary component in sexual assault risk reduction (SARR) programs. This project will involve 2 phases. Phase 1 includes the development and piloting of a web-based SARR program utilizing effective components of previous SARR programs for college women including sexual assault education, targeting sexual assault myths, and risk reduction strategies and skills. In addition, Phase 2 will evaluate the efficacy of a combined web-based personalized feedback alcohol intervention and sexual assault risk reduction (SARR) program (alcohol + SARR) compared to a personalized feedback alcohol intervention only condition, a SARR only condition, and an assessment only control condition on drinking behaviors and sexual assault incidence. Other sexual assault-related outcome measures will include sexual assault knowledge, sexual assault myths, alcohol use prior to sexual activity, and sexual assertiveness. The results from this study will be used to incorporate alcohol reduction programs in SARR programs.
