To investigate the relationship between alcohol consumption and the experience of sexual assault, either as victim or perpetrator, among genitourinary (GU) medicine department attendees in Portsmouth, UK, we carried out a cross-sectional survey of consecutive patients attending the walk-in service when a researcher was available. Self-completed questionnaires were used and anonymized data were collected from 1186 participants (response rate 34%). Responses showed that 15.6% of female and 3.7% of male participants had ever being sexually assaulted. Women who reported sexual assault drank more on a heavy night out than those who did not report sexual assault (mean 21.3 versus 17.0 units, P = 0.041). Over half of the victims had been drinking prior to the relevant assault. Twenty-seven participants (2.3%) admitted to having sex with a person who was not fully willing. Of these, 59% had been drinking prior to the assault, and the majority believed alcohol had contributed to the assault. Any strategies aiming to reduce the incidence of sexual assault must address hazardous drinking as a high priority.
为了调查在英国朴茨茅斯泌尿生殖医学科就诊的患者中，饮酒与性侵犯经历（无论是作为受害者还是施害者）之间的关系，我们对有研究人员在场时前来即时服务的连续患者进行了一项横断面调查。使用了自行填写的问卷，并从1186名参与者中收集了匿名数据（回复率34%）。回复显示，15.6%的女性参与者和3.7%的男性参与者曾遭受性侵犯。报告遭受性侵犯的女性在狂欢夜的饮酒量比未报告遭受性侵犯的女性更多（平均21.3单位与17.0单位，P = 0.041）。超过一半的受害者在相关侵犯发生前饮酒。27名参与者（2.3%）承认与不完全自愿的人发生了性行为。其中，59%在侵犯发生前饮酒，且大多数人认为酒精促成了此次侵犯。任何旨在降低性侵犯发生率的策略都必须将危险饮酒作为高度优先事项加以解决。
