Abstract
Structural equation modeling (SEM) allows for the examination of complex relationships between violence and associated behaviors. We sought to understand the bidirectional longitudinal associations between sexual violence (SV) victimization and alcohol use on college campuses. We used a subsample (n = 1,545) of 18-24-year-old students, seeking care at health centers across 28 campuses in Pennsylvania and West Virginia, who completed surveys at baseline, 4 months, and 12 months as part of a larger trial ( N= 2,291). We used panel models and SEM; controlling for covariates, SV predicted future alcohol use and binge drinking (β's range = .101-.111; p's < .001). Alcohol use and binge drinking did not predict future SV. Research-informed interventions that address prior exposure to violence victimization including SV are integral to prevention strategies addressing SV and harmful alcohol use.
期刊介绍：
We all face the difficult problem of understanding and treating the perpetrators and victims of violence behavior. Violence and Victims is the evidence-based resource that informs clinical decisions, legal actions, and public policy. Now celebrating its 25th year, Violence and Victims is a peer-reviewed journal of theory, research, policy, and clinical practice in the area of interpersonal violence and victimization. It seeks to facilitate the exchange of information on this subject across such professional disciplines as psychology, sociology, criminology, law, medicine, nursing, psychiatry, and social work.
