“…Previous studies suggest perpetrators of harms to others are more likely to be male. 11 These gendered findings on AHTO may have policy implications as experiences of fear, but not necessarily verbal and physical abuse, have been shown to be associated with increases in support for alcohol regulation policies. 25 That is, the experience of fear may be a driver of support for alcohol regulation, and this may in part explain why support for regulation is particularly apparent among women.…”

“…5 Gender, Caucasian ethnicity, urbanicity, living away from parents, personality type and attending a college with riskier-drinking students are also risk factors for students' AHTO experience. 7,11,12 Young women are more likely than young men to experience unwanted sexual advances and having to take care of someone who has had too much to drink 8 , and young men are more likely to be pushed, hit or assaulted. 11 Data for this study are drawn from the Young Australians Alcohol Reporting System (YAARS).…”

Objectives: Exploration of experience of harms due to another person's drinking within a demographic particularly vulnerable to these consequences. Importance of study: Largest sampling of young Australian risky drinkers, who are underrepresented in general population surveys. The range of harms due to others' drinking reported here is more comprehensive than documented elsewhere. Study type:Cross-sectional self-report survey.Methods: Participants were 14-19 years old and screened as being within the riskiest-drinking 25% for their age cohort. The convenience sample of 3465 was recruited primarily by social media advertising. Face-to-face interviews were conducted in all eight Australian capital cities (n = 596), supplemented by online surveys (n = 2869). Past 12-month experience of 13 harms due to others' drinking was assessed by age, gender and perpetrator.Results: Females were more likely to experience seven harms, mainly characterised by fear and harassment, including being harassed or bothered at a party or some other private setting (41% vs 34% of males, p < 0.001), being given unwanted sexual attention (71% vs 47%, p < 0.001) and being put in fear (33% vs 20%, p < 0.001). Males were more likely Key points • Young people and risky drinkers are susceptible to experiencing alcohol's harms to others (AHTO) • Women report more fear and harassment-based AHTO than men, while males report more aggressive AHTO • Teenagers of a legal alcohol-purchase age experience more AHTO such as harassment in public settings and unwanted sexual attention • Adverse effects such as verbal or physical abuse are more commonly perpetrated by individuals known to victims, while fear-based harms are more commonly attributed to strangers

“…A 4-point Likert scale is used for item ratings from strongly disagree to strongly agree. The SURPS has shown good reliability, construct validity (convergent and discriminant), criterion validity (concurrent and predictive), and content/structural validity [34][35][36]. Internal consistencies were adequate for all subscales in the present study sample (αSS = 0.74, αIMP = 0.75 αHOP = 0.70, αAS = 0.74).…”

Alcohol consumption and associated harms are an issue among emerging adults, and protective behavioral strategies (PBS) are actions with potential to minimize these harms. We conducted two studies aimed at determining whether the associations of at-risk personality traits (sensation-seeking [SS], impulsivity [IMP], hopelessness [HOP], and anxiety-sensitivity [AS]) with increased problematic alcohol use could be explained through these variables’ associations with decreased PBS use. We tested two mediation models in which the relationship between at-risk personality traits and increased problematic alcohol use outcomes (Study 1: Alcohol volume; Study 2: Heavy episodic drinking and alcohol-related harms) was partially mediated through decreased PBS use. Two samples of college students participated (N1 = 922, Mage1 = 20.11, 70.3% female; N2 = 1625, Mage2 = 18.78, 70.3% female). Results partially supported our hypotheses, providing new data on a mechanism that helps to explain the relationships between certain at-risk personality traits and problematic alcohol use, as these personalities are less likely to use PBS. In contrast, results showed that AS was positively related to alcohol-related harms and positively related to PBS, with the mediational path through PBS use being protective against problematic alcohol use. This pattern suggests that there are other factors/mediators working against the protective PBS pathway such that, overall, AS still presents risks for alcohol-related harms.
