Research consistently documents the high rates and deleterious outcomes of dating and sexual violence (DSV) among college students. Thus, there is an urgency to identify cost-effective interventions that can mitigate the negative outcomes associated with these forms of violence. The purpose of the current study was to conduct secondary analyses to assess whether a two-session, face-to-face social support intervention (i.e., Supporting Survivors and Self) would confer psychological benefits for participants who subsequently experienced DSV victimization. Participants were 187 full-time undergraduate students from a university in the northeastern United States who reported at least one form of DSV in the six months following implementation of the program. No intervention effect was identified for self-blame or depressive symptoms among subsequent victims. However, the intervention led to lower levels of overall posttraumatic stress symptoms, including avoidance and changes in cognition and mood symptoms, for participants who experienced unwanted sexual intercourse and/or physical intimate partner violence in the treatment versus the control condition. Gender did not moderate intervention effects. Overall, results suggest that interventions aimed at providing social support to survivors may lead to some benefits for individuals who are subsequently victimized.

研究一致记录了大学生中约会和性暴力（DSV）的高发生率和有害后果。因此，迫切需要确定具有成本效益的干预措施，以减轻这些形式暴力的负面影响。本研究的目的是进行二次分析，以评估两次面对面的社会支持干预（即支持幸存者和自我）是否会为随后经历 DSV 受害的参与者带来心理益处。参与者是来自美国东北部一所大学的 187 名全日制本科生，他们在该项目实施后的六个月内报告了至少一种形式的 DSV。在随后的受害者中，没有发现自责或抑郁症状的干预效果。然而，与对照组相比，该干预措施导致经历非自愿性交和/或身体亲密伴侣暴力的参与者的总体创伤后应激症状（包括回避和认知及情绪症状的改变）水平降低。性别并没有调节干预效果。总的来说，结果表明，旨在为幸存者提供社会支持的干预措施可能会为随后受害的个人带来一些好处。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2021 APA，保留所有权利）。
