PROJECT SUMMARY Sexual assault is a persistent public health problem that affects a substantial proportion of college women and is often associated with increases in heavy drinking to cope with post-assault distress. Survivors often recover within social networks such as sororities where heavy drinking is normative, and recovery alongside heavy drinking peers can exacerbate survivors’ drinking to cope. To address this problem, the current application involves the development of a novel intervention designed to promote effective support of survivors within social networks of sororities. Support behaviors incompatible with heavy drinking are expected to increase perceived support among survivors and reduce alcohol use and related consequences among all intervention recipients. The research plan involves: (1) developing a new web-based intervention in collaboration with community stakeholders, (2) testing the feasibility of the intervention within a pilot cluster randomized trial, and (3) examining network characteristics associated with adoption of support behaviors. This Mentored Clinical Scientist Research Career Development Award (K08) will provide Dr. Anna Jaffe with the research support and training needed to become an independent researcher in the field of alcohol research. Dr. Jaffe has a strong foundation researching the intersection between alcohol use and sexual assault, but requires additional training to become an intervention researcher capable of contributing to broad change by leveraging technology to administer brief interventions within social networks. To facilitate this training, Drs. Mary Larimer, Christine Lee, and Cynthia Stappenbeck will provide mentorship in intervention development and evaluation with relevance to alcohol use, peers, and sexual assault. Additionally, Drs. Nancy Barnett and Tyler McCormick will provide mentorship in social network methodology and related statistical analyses. The University of Washington is an ideal environment for conducting this research and obtaining the content, methodological, and statistical expertise necessary to develop an independent career in alcohol intervention research. The proposed project will provide pilot data to support a R01 submission to test the intervention on a larger scale and evaluate the spread of supportive behaviors through social networks. This highly innovative research plan is consistent with NIAAA strategic goals in the creation of a low-resource technology-based intervention that has the potential to significantly impact public health by improving peer support to survivors of sexual assault and reduce heavy drinking on a broad scale.

项目概要 性侵犯是一个持续存在的公共卫生问题，影响着相当大比例的大学女性和 通常与酗酒有关，以应对袭击后的痛苦，幸存者通常会康复。 在社交网络中，例如联谊会，酗酒是常态，并且随着酗酒而康复 为了解决这个问题，当前的应用程序会导致幸存者饮酒恶化。 涉及开发一种新颖的干预措施，旨在促进对幸存者的有效支持 联谊会的社交网络预计会增加与酗酒不相容的行为。 在所有干预措施中，幸存者感受到支持并减少饮酒和相关后果 研究计划包括：(1) 与合作开发一种新的基于网络的干预措施。 社区利益相关者，(2) 在试点整群随机试验中测试干预措施的可行性，以及 (3) 检查与采用本指导临床相关的网络特征。 科学家研究职业发展奖（K08）将为 Anna Jaffe 博士提供研究支持和 成为酒精研究领域的独立研究员所需的培训贾菲博士拥有强大的能力。 基金会研究饮酒和性侵犯之间的交叉点，但需要额外的 培训成为一名干预研究人员，能够通过利用这些因素为广泛的变革做出贡献 为了促进这种培训，Mary Larimer 博士， Christine Lee 和 Cynthia Stappenbeck 将提供干预措施开发和评估方面的指导 此外，南希·巴尼特（Nancy Barnett）和泰勒（Tyler）博士也与饮酒、同伴和性侵犯有关。 麦考密克将提供社交网络方法和相关统计分析方面的指导。 华盛顿大学是进行这项研究和获取内容的理想环境， 发展酒精干预独立职业所需的方法和统计专业知识 拟议的项目将提供试点数据来支持 R01 提交，以测试干预措施。 更大范围并评估通过社交网络支持行为的传播。 研究计划与 NIAAA 创建基于低资源技术的战略目标一致 通过改善对幸存者的同伴支持，有可能对公共健康产生重大影响的干预措施 性侵犯并大规模减少酗酒。
