Abstract

This NIH-funded project examines adult women who disclosed sexual assault to their informal support network members (family, friend, partner). Survivor - informal support dyads will be recruited from the community to examine support processes in relationship to adjustment and relationship outcomes of both individuals. Survey and interview data will be collected from dyads to a) test a theoretical model of support- adjustment relations and examine alcohol-specific social reactions in response to disclosure of alcohol-related assaults.
