PROJECT SUMMARY Dating app facilitated sexual violence (DAFSV) includes sexually-based harms enacted through dating apps, such as sending unwanted explicit sexual images, making derogatory comments, or threatening unwanted sexual acts. Dating app users disproportionally experience in-person sexual violence (SV) which suggests that DAFSV may be an important pre-cursor to in-person SV. However, DAFSV perpetration risk and protective factors and intersections with in-person SV perpetration remain underexplored, especially among men who have sex with men (MSM). MSM use dating apps more than any other population in the US, are also 6 times more likely to experience in-person SV compared to heterosexual men, and report substantial barriers to help seeking. A robust predictor of in-person SV is alcohol use, yet alcohol’s role in DAFSV perpetration among MSM has not been examined. Thus, research is needed to understand associations between drinking patterns and DAFSV, as well as the role of alcohol use on DAFSV in the moment. It is also important to identify moderators that exacerbate (i.e., sexual minority stress) or protect against (e.g., LGB connectedness) alcohol’s potential effects. The proposed study will address gaps in the literature by using a mixed-methods design to examine associations between these factors among MSM. In Phase 1, we will recruit a national sample of MSM (N = 1150) ages 18- 50 with past 3-month dating app use for a cross-sectional survey with timeline follow-back (TLFB) to assess DAFSV perpetration, alcohol use, sexual minority stress and protective factors, and in-person SV perpetration. In Phase 2, we will conduct in-depth qualitative interviews with 60 MSM from Phase 1 who report DAFSV perpetration and alcohol use to understand contexts in which DAFSV occurs, with the goal of identifying potential ways to prevent DAFSV among MSM. The study aims are: 1. To examine the intersection between DAFSV perpetration and in-person SV perpetration. Specifically, we will investigate the extent to which MSM who perpetrate DAFSV also perpetrate in-person SV during first meetings with partners met through dating apps [Phase 1 and 2]. 2. Aim 2. To examine the role of alcohol in DAFSV perpetration. Specifically, we will examine: a) whether MSM who drink more (vs. MSM who drink less) perpetrate more DAFSV [Phase 1], b) among drinkers, whether DAFSV is more likely on days MSM drink (vs. non-drinking days) [Phase 1], and c) among drinkers, how DAFSV perpetration incidents differ when MSM are drinking (vs. not drinking) [Phase 2]. 3. To explore risk and protective factors for DAFSV perpetration among MSM. We will a) investigate whether the relationship between alcohol use and DAFSV is moderated by sexual minority stressors and protective factors [Phase 1], and b) identify additional risk/protective factors (e.g., emotional states, motives, and situational factors (e.g., substance use) that characterize incidents of DAFSV perpetration [Phase 2].

项目摘要 约会应用程序促进性暴力（DAFSV）包括通过约会应用程序制定的基于性的危害， 例如发送不必要的明确性图像，发表贬义的评论或威胁不需要的 性行为。约会应用程序用户不成比例地经历亲自性暴力（SV），这表明 DAFSV可能是面对面的SV的重要前护士。但是，DAFSV犯罪风险和保护性 与面对面的SV持续性的因素和交叉点保持不足，尤其是在具有的男性中 与男人发生性关系（MSM）。 MSM使用约会应用程序比美国其他任何人群都要多6倍 与异性恋男人相比，可能会体验面对面的SV，并报告寻求寻求的巨大障碍。 面对面SV的强大预测因子是酒精使用，但是酒精在MSM中的DAFSV持续性中的作用尚未 被检查。这需要研究才能了解饮酒模式与DAFSV之间的关联， 以及当前的酒精使用对DAFSV的作用。确定主持人也很重要 恶化（即性少数压力）或防止酒精的潜在影响（例如LGB连接性）。 拟议的研究将通过使用混合方法设计来研究文献中的差距 在MSM之间的这些因素之间。在第1阶段，我们将招募18岁的MSM样本（n = 1150） 50与过去的3个月约会应用程序一起用于横截面调查，并进行时间表跟随（TLFB）来评估 DAFSV犯罪，饮酒，性少数压力和保护因素以及面对面的SV实施。 在第2阶段，我们将对报告DAFSV的第1阶段的60 MSM进行深入的定性访谈 犯罪和酒精使用以了解发生DAFSV的环境，目的是确定潜力 防止MSM中DAFSV的方法。研究目的是： 1。检查DAFSV实施和面对面的SV实施之间的交集。具体来说，我们 将研究第一次犯下DAFSV的MSM在多大程度上持续了SV 与合作伙伴的会议通过约会应用程序开会[第1阶段和第2阶段]。 2。目的2。检查酒精在DAFSV实施中的作用。具体来说，我们将研究：a）是否 在饮酒者中喝更多（少喝少喝的MSM）的MSM（与MSM少喝少的MSM），b） DAFSV是否更有可能在MSM饮料（相对于不喝酒的日子）[阶段1]和C） 饮酒者，当MSM喝酒时，DAFSV犯罪事件有何不同（与不饮酒）[第2阶段]。 3。探索MSM之间DAFSV实施的风险和保护因素。我们将a）调查是否 酒精使用与DAFSV之间的关系由性少数压力源调节并受到保护 因素[阶段1]，b）确定其他风险/保护因素（例如，情绪状态，动机和 表征DAFSV犯罪事件的情况因子（例如，使用物质使用）[阶段2]。
