['FUNDING_FELLOWSHIP'] · UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA LINCOLN · NIH-10998662
This study is looking at how not eating enough and drinking alcohol might affect the risk of young women experiencing sexual violence, and it wants to understand how social pressures influence these behaviors, so it can help create better ways to prevent such situations.

What this research studies
This research examines the relationship between restricted food consumption and alcohol intoxication as predictors of sexual violence among young adult women. It aims to understand how sociocultural pressures lead women to engage in alcohol-motivated restricted eating, which may increase their risk of becoming victims of sexual violence. By assessing daily behaviors related to food and alcohol, the study seeks to identify novel predictors that could inform more effective prevention strategies. Participants will be asked to provide information about their eating and drinking habits in social settings.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are young adult women who consume alcohol and may engage in restricted eating behaviors.
Not a fit: Patients who do not consume alcohol or are not young adult women may not receive benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved prevention strategies for sexual violence that take into account women's drinking behaviors and eating patterns.
How similar studies have performed: While there is existing research on alcohol-related risks, this approach of linking food consumption patterns specifically to sexual violence risk in women is relatively novel.
