What this Trial Is About
Researchers are investigating how alcohol intoxication, gender, and bystander attitudes affect barriers to intervening and sexual violence prevention among young adults aged 21 to 30. The study aims to understand if alcohol and gender influence bystander barriers and intervention behaviors, and whether alcohol's impact varies depending on gender and prosocial attitudes toward helping others. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either an alcoholic beverage designed to reach a breath alcohol concentration of 0.08% or a non-alcoholic control beverage. Those receiving alcohol will complete study tasks either while their blood alcohol level is rising or falling. All participants will imagine themselves in a risky sexual violence scenario to assess their perceived barriers and intentions to intervene. During the study, researchers will measure participants' thoughts about barriers to intervening and their intentions to act as bystanders between 35 minutes and 2.5 hours after drinking. The study includes behavioral assessments and compares responses between the alcohol and control groups as well as between men and women. Participation involves monitoring and evaluation over a short time frame during the experimental session.
