abstract="OBJECTIVE: We sought to examine social anxiety as a risk factor for alcohol-related sexual victimization among college women. <br><br>METHOD: Women (Time 1: n = 574; Time 2: n = 88) who reported consuming alcohol at least once during the assessment timeframe participated. Social anxiety, alcohol use, alcohol-related consequences, and sexual victimization were assessed twice, approximately two months apart. Logistic regressions were used to examine social anxiety as a risk factor for alcohol-related sexual victimization at both time points. <br><br>RESULTS: Longitudinally, women high in social anxiety were approximately three times more likely to endorse unwanted alcohol-related sexual experiences compared to women with low to moderate social anxiety. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests social anxiety, a modifiable construct, increases risk for alcohol-related sexual victimization among college women. Implications for clinicians and risk-reduction program developers are discussed.<br><br>Published by Elsevier Ltd.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
