At age ~20, participants reported on age of initiation of alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis use and provided a saliva or blood sample. At age ~12, caregiver reports on parental monitoring were obtained, along with census-tract data to measure community disadvantage.

Studies using these analogues have produced valuable findings regarding alcohol's role in sexual aggression; however, one important limitation is that participants can distance themselves from the situation before responding. VR provides highly immersive behavioral analogues that require participants to make quick decisions; thus they are less likely to be impacted by social desirability. In VR, participants make multiple decisions based on the feedback they receive from their virtual dating partner and the ending depends on the choices they make. For example, VR analogues can allow participants to select dates who are intoxicated or to encourage their virtual dating partner to drink alcohol. Thus, researchers can model different patterns of responses and strategies used to attempt to obtain sex, which can then be used to develop interventions targeted for individuals with different types of risk profiles.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>There are strengths and limitations associated with all experimental proxies.
