项目摘要

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].

项目概要约会应用程序促成的性暴力（DAFSV）包括通过约会应用程序实施的基于性的伤害，例如发送不受欢迎的露骨色情图片、发表贬损性评论或威胁不受欢迎的内容约会应用程序的用户不成比例地经历过面对面的性暴力（SV），这表明 DAFSV 可能是面对面 SV 的重要前兆，然而，DAFSV 的实施风险和保护性。与当面 SV 实施相关的因素和交叉点仍未得到充分探索，特别是在那些患有 SV 的男性中与男性发生性行为 (MSM) 的人数比美国其他人群使用约会应用的次数多，也是美国其他人群的 6 倍。与异性恋男性相比，他们更有可能经历面对面的 SV，并报告在寻求帮助方面存在巨大障碍。饮酒是面对面 SV 的有力预测因素，但酒精在 MSM 发生 DAFSV 中的作用尚未得到证实。因此，需要进行研究来了解饮酒模式与 DAFSV 之间的关联，以及目前饮酒对 DAFSV 的作用，找出调节因素也很重要。加剧（即，性少数压力）或防止（例如，LGB连通性）酒精的潜在影响。拟议的研究将通过使用混合方法设计来检查关联来解决文献中的空白在第一阶段，我们将招募全国 18 岁至 18 岁的 MSM 样本（N = 1150）。 50 过去 3 个月使用约会应用程序进行横断面调查，并通过时间线跟踪 (TLFB) 进行评估 DAFSV 实施、饮酒、性少数压力和保护因素以及当面 SV 实施。在第 2 阶段，我们将对来自第 1 阶段的 60 名报告 DAFSV 的 MSM 进行深入的定性访谈犯罪和饮酒，以了解 DAFSV 发生的背景，目的是识别潜在的预防 MSM 中 DAFSV 的方法该研究的目的是： 1. 为了研究 DAFSV 犯罪和当面 SV 犯罪之间的交叉点，我们具体地进行了研究。将调查实施 DAFSV 的 MSM 在第一次期间也实施面对面 SV 的程度通过约会应用程序与合作伙伴会面[第 1 阶段和第 2 阶段]。 2. 目标 2. 为了研究酒精在 DAFSV 发病中的作用，具体而言，我们将研究： a) 是否。饮酒较多的 MSM（相对于饮酒较少的 MSM）在饮酒者中犯下更多 DAFSV [第 1 阶段]，b)， DAFSV 是否在 MSM 饮酒的日子（与不饮酒的日子）更有可能发生[第 1 阶段]，以及 c) 饮酒者，当 MSM 饮酒（与不饮酒）时，DAFSV 实施事件有何不同 [第 2 阶段]。 3. 探讨 MSM 中发生 DAFSV 的风险和保护因素我们将 a) 调查是否。饮酒与 DAFSV 之间的关系受到性少数压力源和保护性因素的调节因素[第 1 阶段]，b) 确定额外的风险/保护因素（例如情绪状态、动机和表征 DAFSV 实施事件特征的情境因素（例如物质使用）[第 2 阶段]。
