Project Summary Intimate partner violence (IPV) and sexual assault (SA) are public health issues among college students that can lead to problem drinking and related deleterious outcomes (e.g., depression). A robust predictor of undesirable victim outcomes is negative social reactions to disclosure (e.g., disbelieving the victim). To date, however, there is no intervention that specifically targets potential recipients of IPV and SA disclosure to inform them of the best methods for responding to an IPV or SA disclosure. The purpose of the proposed study is to test an intervention (Supporting Survivors and Self [SSS] developed by Edwards [PI] and colleagues) created for potential informal support disclosure recipients. The SSS intervention provides individuals with information on the reasons why positive social reactions are important and why negative social reactions can be harmful, examples of what to say and not to say, opportunities for role play, and an emphasis on the importance of self-care and ways in which self-care can be balanced with the needs of IPV and SA victims. Given the key role that alcohol plays in risk for and outcomes associated with IPV and SA—especially among college students (the targeted audience of this intervention)—the role of alcohol in risk for and outcomes associated with IPV and SA, including alcohol-specific social reactions, is addressed in the SSS intervention. The proposed study seeks to further develop and manualize the SSS intervention. Additionally, we seek to conduct a rigorous pilot examination of the effects of SSS intervention. Young adults from a medium-sized New England university will be (a) randomly selected from the college population, (b) invited to participate in baseline surveys, (c) randomly assigned to participate in the SSS intervention or a wait-list control group, and (c) asked to complete a six-month follow-up survey. Participants who report at the six-month follow-up that they were the recipient of an IPV or SA disclosure will be asked to invite the victim who disclosed to them to participate in the research; victims who agree to participate will be asked to complete surveys. Analyses will determine if exposure to the SSS intervention compared to the control condition leads to increases in positive social reactions and decreases in negative social reactions in disclosure recipients, and reductions in problem drinking and related deleterious outcomes (e.g., depression) in victims. Mediators (e.g., victim empathy, encouragement of healthy coping behaviors) and moderators (e.g., demographics, victim use of alcohol at time of the assault) of SSS intervention effectiveness will be examined. College students were chosen as the targeted population given the high rates of IPV, SA, and problem drinking among this population. If shown to be effective, the SSS intervention could be adapted and implemented in a variety of settings beyond college campuses.

项目摘要 亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）和性侵犯（SA）是大学生的公共卫生问题， 可导致问题饮酒和相关的有害结果（例如，抑郁症）。一个强大的预测器， 不期望的受害者结果是对披露的负面社会反应（例如，不相信受害者）。到目前为止， 然而，没有专门针对IPV和SA披露的潜在接受者的干预措施， 告知他们应对IPV或SA披露的最佳方法。拟议研究的目的 是测试干预措施（由Edwards [PI]及其同事开发的支持幸存者和自我[SSS]） 为潜在的非正式支持披露接受者创建。SSS干预措施为个人提供 关于为什么积极的社会反应是重要的，为什么消极的社会反应 是有害的，什么说，什么不说，角色扮演的机会，并强调 自我保健的重要性，以及自我保健与IPV和SA受害者的需求相平衡的方式。 鉴于酒精在IPV和SA的风险和结果中发挥的关键作用， 大学生（本干预的目标受众）-酒精在风险和结果中的作用 与IPV和SA，包括酒精特定的社会反应，在SSS干预解决。 拟议的研究旨在进一步发展和手册化SSS干预措施。此外，我们力求 对SSS干预的效果进行严格的试点检查。年轻的成年人从一个中等大小的新 英格兰大学将（a）从大学生中随机抽取，（B）邀请参加 基线调查，（c）随机分配参与SSS干预或等待名单对照组，以及 (c)要求完成为期六个月的跟踪调查。参与者在6个月随访时报告， 他们是IPV或SA披露的接收者，将被要求邀请向他们披露的受害者， 参与研究;同意参与的受害者将被要求完成调查。分析将 确定与对照条件相比，暴露于SSS干预是否导致阳性 社会反应，减少披露接受者的负面社会反应， 饮酒和相关的有害结果（例如，抑郁症）。调解人（例如，受害者同情， 鼓励健康的应对行为）和调节者（例如，人口统计数据，受害者在 将检查SSS干预的有效性。大学生被选为目标 鉴于IPV、SA和问题饮酒在这一人群中的高发病率，如果显示为 有效的，SSS干预可以适应和实施在各种设置超越大学 校园。
