Childhood Sexual Abuse, Adolescent-Adult Sexual Assault, and Revictimization
Women with a history of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) and/or adolescent-adult sexual assault (ASA) can have different trauma-related symptom presentations in early adulthood, but the role of coping resources in mitigating victimization-related distress is understudied. Thus, the present study examined women with sexual victimization histories by developmental period (CSA-only, ASA-only, or CSA + ASA) and the role that mindfulness and emotion regul…
Talking About Sex
The relationship between sexual victimization and communication is crucial to examine, given research suggesting that effective and frequent communication about sexual activities helps facilitate safer sex behaviors, sexual functioning, and pleasure. Building on prior studies in this area, which tend to focus on assertiveness, the current study examines childhood sexual abuse (CSA), adolescent/adulthood sexual assault (ASA), and communication fre…
The Impact of Skill Utilization on Alcohol Use Outcomes Following Completion of a Brief Web-Based Alcohol Intervention
Objective: This study examined the impact of skill utilization on alcohol use outcomes following a brief mobile-based intervention among heavy-drinking college women with sexual assault histories. Method: Participants were heavy drinking college women with sexual assault histories (N = 77) who were randomized as part of a larger study to complete a 14-d intervention that included modules focused on emotion regulation (ER) and alcohol reduction st…
Sexual Assault Labeling Over Time Among Gender and Sexual Identity Groups
Sexual Self-Objectification and Sex-Related Drinking Motives Among College Women
Does the link between posttraumatic cognitions and eating pathology depend on trauma type? The role of sexual violence
Findings point to low self-worth as a cognitive target for future research and clinical efforts aimed at addressing trauma-related distress and eating pathology concurrently, especially among individuals with a history of sexual violence. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
Beyond Force, Incapacitation, or Verbal Coercion
To date, most sexual assault research has focused on specific perpetrator tactics, including verbal coercion, substance-related incapacitation, and force. Responding to recent calls to assess a broader range of nonconsensual sexual experiences, we examined the occurrence and outcomes of sexual assault without warning - when a perpetrator "just does" a behavior without giving a chance to say "no." Participants were 850 college students (Mage = 19.…
A longitudinal investigation of PTSD symptoms, hazardous drinking, and relationship satisfaction in college student dating relationships
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and hazardous drinking have been linked to lower relationship satisfaction; however, few studies have evaluated these associations over time in a college sample. The current study aimed to examine within-person and between-person longitudinal main and interactive effects of self-reported PTSD symptoms and hazardous drinking on relationship satisfaction in a college sample. We further examined whether…
PTSD in the Year Following Sexual Assault
Improving voluntary engagement for posttraumatic stress disorder treatment among active-duty service members using motivational enhancement therapy
Results suggest both MET and high-quality referral options have promise as a means of increasing evidence-based treatment uptake and decreasing PTSD for service members with PTSD. MET may be particularly useful for individuals with low confidence in their ability to address PTSD. Given the individual and societal costs of PTSD, there is a need for interventions facilitating treatment uptake. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights rese…
Associations Among Emotion Regulation, Covid Stress, Alcohol Use, and Intimate Partner Aggression Among College Students During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Sexual Decision Making When Intoxicated
Young adult women report high condom use intentions, but inconsistent condom use. Cognitive appraisals during sexual encounters are important determinants of condom use decisions, but a nuanced understanding of what cognitions emerge during women's "hot states" (e.g., sexual arousal, alcohol intoxication) remains lacking. To address this gap, we examined women's heat of the moment cognitions in their own words using mixed methods. Young adult wom…
Does Gratitude Promote Resilience During a Pandemic? An Examination of Mental Health and Positivity at the Onset of Covid-19
An event-level evaluation of women’s self-medicated drinking
Alcohol interventions that provide adaptive regulatory strategies are needed for women who experience increased negative or positive affect, with a particular focus on self-medication for young women with more severe SA histories. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)
Implicit trauma identity associations in treatment-seeking U.S. military personnel do not predict or change in response to cognitive processing therapy for PTSD
More tailoring of implicit trauma measures for military personnel and/or treatment-seeking patients may be needed. The measure may lack sensitivity to change in response to treatment and have reduced utility in treatment-seeking samples with high symptom burden and less variability in symptoms.

Is the Risk for Sexual Revictimization Cumulative? A Prospective Examination
Alcohol Use Before Sexual Violence and Cognitive Appraisals
The current study examined two cognitive appraisals-labeling (identifying an unwanted sexual experience as sexual violence) and self-blame-as potential mechanisms between survivor alcohol use before sexual violence and three help-seeking barriers (minimization, negative treatment, and social-emotional barriers) among non-service-seeking sexual violence survivors. Participants were 141 undergraduate women who completed self-report measures. Three …
Friends-Based Protective Strategies and Unwanted Sexual Experiences
Risk for unwanted sexual experiences can emerge in social contexts-the same contexts that early college women navigate with their friends. Though friends naturally engage in prevention strategies, less is known about how capable guardianship influences risk. Using multilevel structural equation modeling, the present study examined guardianship at the person- and situation-level. First year college women ( N = 132) completed eight weekends of dail…
Social Network Changes and Disclosure Responses After Sexual Assault
Social support after sexual assault is important for recovery, but violence and recovery may also challenge relationships. We examined functional and structural social support changes following sexual assault and their association with mental health. College women ( N =544) with and without a sexual assault history completed a cross-sectional survey assessing current and past egocentric social networks. Functional support (perceived global suppor…
Prospective predictors of work limitations in young adult lesbian and bisexual women
Trauma exposure and mental health problems adversely affect work functioning. Sexual minority women are at increased risk for trauma exposure, depression, and PTSD. Sexual minority women also experience unique stressors related to their sexual orientation, which can directly impact work functioning. However, little research to date has examined the impact of trauma exposure and mental health problems among sexual minority women on their occupatio…
Changes in College Student Alcohol Use During the Covid-19 Pandemic
With widespread concern for increased alcohol use during the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a pressing need to examine changes in young adults' alcohol use and to identify antecedents of increased use. We tested the hypothesis that self-reported changes in alcohol use during the pandemic (frequency, quantity, heavy episodic drinking) would relate to perceptions of peers' changes in alcohol use. In April of 2020, 507 college students self-reported ch…
A formative evaluation of a web-based intervention for women with a sexual assault history and heavy alcohol use
Incorporating user feedback early in the intervention development process provides critical information for content and delivery modifications that may enhance the target population's engagement and satisfaction with the final product. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved)
Resilience to suicidal ideation among college sexual assault survivors
Given optimism and gratitude are modifiable strengths that individuals can develop and grow over time, these results suggest boosting optimism and gratitude may be a valuable way to attenuate thoughts of suicide in interventions for college women who have experienced sexual assault.

A Prospective Study of Predictors and Consequences of Hooking Up for Sexual Minority Women
Discussing substance use with clients during the Covid-19 pandemic
During the COVID-19 pandemic, trauma-exposed individuals may have heightened risk for substance use. Using substances to cope may contribute to the development of problematic substance use over time. It is imperative to initiate conversations about substance use with clients during this time and motivational interviewing offers an ideal framework for doing so.

Prospective Risk for Incapacitated Rape Among Sexual Minority Women
Sexual minority women (SMW), including lesbian and bisexual women, are at greater risk for heavy drinking and sexual victimization than heterosexual women. Risk factors for alcohol-related sexual victimization, such as incapacitated rape (IR), include frequent heavy drinking and hookups among heterosexual women, but it is less clear whether these risk factors extend to SMW. This current study was designed to address this gap. In a national sample…

A Prospective Study of Predictors and Consequences of Hooking Up for Sexual Minority Women
Acute Stress Symptoms After Forcible and Substance-Involved Rapes
In the early aftermath of a sexual assault, survivors often experience symptoms of distress including reexperiencing, avoidance, and hyperarousal symptoms. However, less is known about associations between rape characteristics and the nature of early reactions. We designed the current study to examine the unique and combined associations between force and substances during rape on acute stress symptoms. Participants were 56 women (ages 18 to 58) …
Multidimensional Trait Emotional Intelligence and Aggressive Tendencies in Male Offenders of Domestic Violence
Demotivating infant feeding counselling encounters in southern Africa
Ethnographic research was conducted in eleven low-resource settings across Swaziland, Namibia and South Africa to explore how the perceptions and experiences of counselling health workers, pregnant women and recent mothers could be used to improve infant feeding counselling in the context of mother to child transmission (MTCT) of HIV. We found many counselling encounters to be demotivating. Mothers often reported feeling judged, stigmatised and s…
