Project Summary Alcohol-involved sexual violence (SV) is a common and detrimental experience for young adult women. To supplement SV prevention strategies aimed at perpetrators of SV–who always assume full responsibility for the occurrence of SV–risk reduction programs that target women’s drinking have been developed and implemented. While promising, these programs have limited efficacy and research that examines novel predictors of women’s SV victimization using innovative approaches is needed to address the limitations of these risk reduction programs and associated research. It is commonly advised that people eat a calorie-rich meal ahead of a night of drinking to prevent adverse alcohol-related consequences. However, sociocultural pressures to approximate a thin body type and to drink alcohol in social settings encourage women to engage in alcohol-motivated restricted eating (AMRE) on drinking days. Nearly one in two young adult women (~45%) engage in AMRE and are motivated to do so to account for the calories consumed through alcohol or to enhance the intoxicating effects of alcohol. Indeed, women who engage in AMRE are significantly more likely to binge drink and become intoxicated than women who do not. Among other negative outcomes that have been investigated (e.g., getting injured, blacking out), it is likely that women who engage in AMRE and frequently become more intoxicated are at an increased risk of experiencing SV because of their proximity to perpetrators, but not studies to date have examined this possibility. Drawing on these findings, the central hypotheses in the present study are that the interactive effect of engaging in AMRE and drinking alcohol is likely to increase proximal alcohol intoxication and SV victimization. In addition, we expect that this interactive effect between AMRE and alcohol use will predict more SV victimization through increases in acute intoxication. To test these hypotheses, a community sample of 80 young adult women wi
