TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - The impact of sexual enhancement alcohol expectancies and risky behavior on alcohol- involved rape among college women JO - Violence against women A1 - Messman-Moore, Terri L. A1 - Ward, Rose Marie A1 - DeNardi, Kathleen A. SP - 449 EP - 464 VL - 19 IS - 4 N2 - A structural equation model examined sexual enhancement alcohol expectancies, heavy episodic drinking (HED), and risky sexual behavior as correlates of alcohol-involved rape in a sample of 353 college women. Prevalence of alcohol-involved rape was 15.6%. Sexual enhancement alcohol expectancies were indirectly associated with alcohol-involved rape via increased levels of HED, greater likelihood of sex while intoxicated, and number of sex partners. All forms of risky behavior were associated with alcohol-involved rape although HED had the strongest relationship. Findings suggest continued focus on women's positive alcohol expectancies and HED as risk factors for alcohol-involved rape. Implications for intervention will be discussed.
