The objectives of this epidemiologic study are to delineate the prevalence of perceived sexual and non-sexual harassment experiences reported by women and men in a racially and ethnically diverse university work setting and to assess their impact on alcohol consumption, drinking motivations and alcohol-related problems. A sample of 4,000 female and male university employees across occupational levels (e.g., faculty, graduate research and teaching assistants, administrative and support staff, service workers), will be surveyed at two points in time with self-report mailed questionnaires. The theoretical framework guiding this study characterizes work-based harassment experiences as more pathogenic than other work stressors insofar as they are more likely to engender cognitive appraisals involving self blame an personal inadequacy. Hypotheses to be tested address both precursors of perceived harassment and alcohol-related consequences. Mediating or additive variables include cognitive style, coping repertoire, social support, occupational drinking norms and childhood abusive experiences. A variety of multivariate statistical techniques will be utilized to depict the various pathways through which work-based harassment correlates with and predicts female and male alcohol-related outcomes. A qualitative component of the research will explore and clarify the differential nature and consequences of harassment which is sexual from harassment which broader in nature and outside the sexual realm. A final goal is to address both the prevention of work- based harassment and the development of effective coping techniques to actively counter harassment in place of self medicating distress through substance abuse.

这项流行病学研究的目的是确定患病率 所报告的感知到的性骚扰和非性骚扰经历 种族和民族多元化的大学工作环境中的女性和男性 并评估它们对饮酒、饮酒动机的影响 以及与酒精相关的问题。 4,000 名女性和男性样本 各个职业级别的大学员工（例如教师、研究生 研究和教学助理、行政和支持人员、 服务人员），将在两个时间点进行调查并提供自我报告 邮寄调查问卷。 指导本研究的理论框架 将工作中的骚扰经历描述为比工作中的骚扰经历更具致病性 其他工作压力源，因为它们更有可能引起认知 涉及自责和个人不足的评价。 假设为 测试解决了感知到的骚扰和酒精相关的先兆 结果。 中介变量或附加变量包括认知风格、 应对手段、社会支持、职业饮酒规范和 童年受虐待的经历。 多种多元统计 将利用技术来描述各种途径 工作骚扰与女性和男性相关并可预测 酒精相关的结果。 研究的定性部分将 探讨并澄清骚扰的不同性质和后果 这是来自骚扰的性骚扰，其性质更广泛且超出了范围 性领域。 最终目标是解决预防工作- 基于骚扰和开发有效的应对技术 通过积极反骚扰来代替自我治疗痛苦 药物滥用。
