Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The first semester of college has been associated with increased drinking and sexual risk. However, it remains unclear why some drinking occasions result in experiencing negative sexual consequences whereas others do not. The current study used a diary-based approach to assess the event-level effect of alcohol use and previous adult/adolescent sexual victimization (PSV) on experiencing negative sex-related consequences in first-year college women. METHOD: Participants (N=120) provided repeated measures of weekend drinking and sex-related consequences on the Friday and Saturday nights of six different weekends over the course of their first semester, resulting in 12 measured drinking occasions. A multilevel model was used to assess both between- and within-person effects of alcohol use and between-person effects of PSV on the likelihood of experiencing negative alcohol-related sexual consequences. RESULTS: Findings revealed an important within-person association, such that every drink consumed above one's mean was associated with a 13% increase in the likelihood of experiencing negative consequences. In addition, PSV had a significant main effect on experiencing negative sex-related consequences. Individuals with PSV experienced nearly 2.5 times more sexual consequences than individuals without PSV. CONCLUSIONS: These results yield important implications for prevention, particularly with respect to limiting "above average" alcohol consumption among women with a history of sexual victimization.

  • Data from timeline follow-back and daily diary studies suggest that intoxication increases the likelihood of DV perpetration or victimization among males and females, and sexual violence victimization among women.

    “data from timeline follow-back and daily diary studies suggest that intoxication increases the likelihood of DV (perpetration or victimization) among males and females as well as sexual violence victimization among women”

    From Understanding the Role of Alcohol, Anxiety, and Trait Mindfulness in the Perpetration of Physical and Sexual Dating Violence in Emerging Adults. (2018) · cites this paper as Scaglione et al., 2014

    The Multilevel model results and Discussion (page not provided) associate higher estimated blood alcohol concentration with negative sex-related consequences among women. The paper does not report domestic-violence perpetration or victimization among males and females, and its outcome combines several consequences rather than establishing an increase in sexual-violence victimization specifically. Its event-level assessments also do not substantiate the claim about timeline follow-back studies. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
