“…The findings reported above describe a context of drug use that places young adult opioid users at increased risk for sexual violence, as has been reported with regard to the use of alcohol and other illicit drugs (Basile & Smith, 2011; McCauley, Ruggiero, Resnick, & Kilpatrick, 2010; Testa & Livingston, 1999). Our analysis highlights the interplay of several factors that may contribute to this risk.…”

Drug and alcohol use have been associated with increased risk for sexual violence, but there is little research on sexual violence within the context of drug use among young adult opioid users. The current mixed-methods study explores young adult opioid users’ sexual experiences in the context of their drug use. Forty-six New York City young adults (ages 18–32) who reported lifetime nonmedical use of prescription opioids (POs) completed in-depth, semistructured interviews, and 164 (ages 18–29) who reported heroin and/or nonmedical PO use in the past 30 days completed structured assessments that inquired about their drug use and sexual behavior and included questions specific to sexual violence. Participants reported frequent incidents of sexual violence experienced both personally and by their opioid using peers. Participants described sexual violence, including sexual assault, as occurring within a context characterized by victimization of users who were unconscious as a result of substance use, implicit and explicit exchanges of sex for drugs and/or money that increased risk for sexual violence, negative sexual perceptions ascribed to drug users, and participants’ own internalized stigma. Recommendations to reduce sexual violence among young adult opioid users include education for users and service providers on the risk of involvement in sexual violence within drug using contexts and efforts to challenge perceptions of acceptability regarding sexual violence.

“…Rape victims report higher prevalence of public health problems including drug and alcohol use, abuse, and dependence compared to non-victims (Burnam et al, 1988; Kilpatrick et al, 2000; 2003; 2007). For example, in a national household sample of women, incapacitated rape (i.e., unable to consent/resist due to voluntary substance use) has been identified as a correlate of victims’ past year binge drinking, marijuana, and illicit drug use while forcible and drug facilitated rape (i.e., perpetrator administered substances to impair victim’s ability to consent/resist) have been identified as correlates of victims’ past year marijuana and illicit drug use (McCauley, Ruggiero, Resnick, & Kilpatrick, 2010). Thus, different rape tactics (e.g., force, incapacitation) are associated with different substance use correlates.…”

Sexual revictimization (experiencing 2 or more rapes) is prevalent and associated with increased risk for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and substance use. However, no national epidemiologic studies have established the prevalence or relative odds of a range of types of substance use as a function of sexual victimization history and PTSD status. Using three national female samples, the current study examined associations between sexual revictimization, PTSD, and past-year substance use. Participants were 1763 adolescent girls, 2000 college women, and 3001 household-residing women. Rape history, PTSD, and use of alcohol, marijuana, other illicit drugs, and non-medical prescription drugs were assessed via structured telephone interviews of U.S households and colleges in 2005–2006. Chi-square and logistic regression were used to estimate the prevalence and odds of past-year substance use. Relative to single and non-victims: Revictimized adolescents and household-residing women reported more other illicit and non-medical prescription drug use; revictimized college women reported more other illicit drug use. Past 6-month PTSD was associated with increased odds of drug use for adolescents, non-medical prescription drug use for college women, and all substance use for household-residing women. Revictimization and PTSD were associated with more deviant substance use patterns across samples, which may reflect self-medication with substances. Findings also could be a function of high-risk environment or common underlying mechanisms. Screening and early intervention in pediatric, primary care, and college clinics may prevent subsequent rape, PTSD, and more severe substance use.

“…Prior studies utilizing the current nationally representative data have examined the unique contributions of experiences of FR, DAFR, and IR tactics to lifetime reports of PTSD, depression, and substance use [18, 19]. DAFR and FR tactics were uniquely associated with PTSD, whereas only FR tactics were uniquely associated with depression [19].…”

“…DAFR and FR tactics were uniquely associated with PTSD, whereas only FR tactics were uniquely associated with depression [19]. Further, all three tactics were uniquely associated with increased odds of past year marijuana and illicit drug use, whereas only IR was uniquely associated with increased odds of past year binge drinking [18]. Both studies used non-mutually exclusive categorization of rape tactics, meaning that women’s single rape experience may have been classified as more than one “rape type” if the incident involved use of multiple rape tactics.…”

Purpose Rape is an established risk factor for mental health disorders, such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), major depressive episodes (MDE), and substance use disorders. The majority of studies have not differentiated substance-involved rape or examined comorbid diagnoses among victims. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to estimate the prevalence of common trauma-related psychiatric disorders (and their comorbidity) in a national sample of women, with an emphasis on distinguishing between rape tactics. A secondary objective was to estimate the risk for psychiatric disorders among victims of variant rape tactics, in comparison to non-victims. Methods A nationally representative population-based sample of 3,001 non-institutionalized, civilian, English or Spanish speaking women (aged 18–86 years) participated in a structured telephone interview assessing rape history and DSM-IV criteria for PTSD, MDE, alcohol abuse (AA), and drug abuse (DA). Descriptive statistics and multivariate logistic regression analyses were employed. Results Women with rape histories involving both substance facilitation and forcible tactics reported the highest current prevalence of PTSD (36%), MDE (36%), and AA (20%). Multivariate models demonstrated that this victim group was also at highest risk for psychiatric disorders, after controlling for demographics and childhood and multiple victimization history. Women with substance-facilitated rapes reported higher prevalence of substance abuse in comparison to women with forcible rape histories. Comorbidity between PTSD and other psychiatric disorders was higher among rape victims in comparison to non-rape victims. Conclusions Researchers and clinicians should assess substance-facilitated rape tactics and attend to comorbidity among rape victims. Empirically supported treatments are needed to address the complex presentations observed among women with variant rape histories.
