项目总结/摘要 拟议项目的长期目标是确定（1）暂时使用酒精， 纵向先于并增加亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）的风险，（2）IPV是否暂时 纵向上先于并增加饮酒的风险，（3）近端消极影响和 自我控制耗尽，和性少数压力因素缓和这些协会，以及（4）是否 上述关联在被认定为性少数的年轻人中因性别而异（即，女同性恋男同性恋 双性恋[LGB]）。重要的是，拟议的研究将利用每日日记和纵向设计来检查 这项研究的目的，将提供最严格和全面的评估协会， 酒精和IPV之间的关系。 IPV包括心理，身体和性侵犯，这些发生率高得惊人， 异性恋的年轻人约会关系，IPV的比率在LGB年轻人中同样高，如果不是更高的话， 成年人了此外，IPV导致受害者的心理和身体健康症状增加， 提高医疗保健利用率。该项目旨在调查时间和纵向 330名LGB年轻成年饮酒者饮酒与IPV的关系。不幸的是， 对近端和远端调节器的研究（例如，消极情感，自我控制，内化同性恋恐惧症，性 取向歧视，LGBT特定的社会支持）之间的时间和纵向关系 LGB人群中的酒精使用和IPV。此外，没有研究利用每日日记或纵向 研究LGB年轻人中酒精和IPV之间的关系。 参与者将连续60天每天完成简短的每日调查，然后在3-， 6、9和12个月。每日评估将允许更准确地报告时间 酒精和IPV之间的关系，而纵向评估将允许检查 酒精和IPV之间的潜在联系。一个综合的理论框架，其中考虑到 考虑与酒精相关的IPV的理论模型（即，I3）和性少数压力，将被用来检查 可以缓和这些关联的关键因素（即，负面影响，内化同性恋恐惧症，LGB- 具体的社会支持）。该项目有可能提供关键信息， LGB年轻人的IPV。

Project Summary/Abstract The long-term objective of the proposed project is to determine whether (1) alcohol use temporally and longitudinally precedes and increases the risk for intimate partner violence (IPV), (2) whether IPV temporally and longitudinally precedes and increases the risk for alcohol use, (3) whether proximal negative affect and self-control depletion, and sexual minority stress factors moderate these associations, and (4) whether the above associations vary across sex among young adults who identify as a sexual minority (i.e., lesbian, gay, or bisexual [LGB]). Importantly, the proposed study will utilize both daily diary and longitudinal designs to examine the aims of the study, which will provide the most rigorous and comprehensive assessment of the associations between alcohol and IPV among individuals who identify as LGB to date. IPV includes psychological, physical, and sexual aggression, which occur at alarmingly high rates in heterosexual young adult dating relationships, with rates of IPV being as high, if not higher, among LGB young adults. Moreover, IPV results in increased mental and physical health symptoms for victims, as well as increased health care utilization. The proposed project aims to investigate the temporal and longitudinal relationships between alcohol use and IPV in 330 LGB young adult drinkers. Unfortunately, there is a dearth of research on proximal and distal moderators (e.g., negative affect, self-control, internalized homophobia, sexual orientation discrimination, LGB-specific social support) of the temporal and longitudinal relationships between alcohol use and IPV among LGB populations. Moreover, no research has utilized daily diary or longitudinal designs to examine the relationships between alcohol and IPV in LGB young adults. Participants will complete brief daily surveys each day for 60 consecutive days, followed by assessments at 3-, 6-, 9-, and 12-months. The daily assessments will allow for more accurate reporting on the temporal relationship between alcohol and IPV, whereas the longitudinal assessments will allow for the examination of the prospective associations between alcohol and IPV. An integrated theoretical framework, which takes into account theoretical models of alcohol-related IPV (i.e., I3) and sexual minority stress, will be utilized to examine key factors which may moderate these associations (i.e., negative affect, internalized homophobia, LGB- specific social support). This project has the potential to provide crucial information that can be used to reduce IPV among LGB young adults.
