Past research shows that negative alcohol-specific social reactions to disclosures of alcohol-involved sexual assaults negatively impact survivor recovery. However, less is known about both survivor and informal support provider (SP) correlates of these reactions.
The present study explored correlates of alcohol-specific social reactions that a community sample of racially diverse sexual assault survivors reported receiving from their SP ( = 204 dyads) upon disclosure. Regression models examined survivor and SP correlates of survivor-reported negative alcohol-specific social reactions received from their SP.
Some demographic (e.g., race/ethnicity, education), assault history and index assault characteristics (e.g., child sexual abuse severity, alcohol/drug impairment, perpetrator force, postassault upset), disclosure, and survivor-SP relationship factors (e.g., disclosure characteristics, relationship type, and satisfaction) were related to negative alcohol-specific social reactions. In addition, several SP variables (e.g., SP rape myth acceptance, SP substance use in their past sexual assault, SP perception of survivor coping, and SP positive behaviors toward survivor) and recovery outcomes (e.g., posttraumatic stress disorder, substance use coping, problem drinking) were also related to negative alcohol-specific social reactions to survivor sexual assault disclosures.
Implications are drawn for future research and intervention with survivors and their informal SPs to reduce negative social reactions to alcohol-involved assaults. Education and training are needed for informal SPs to reduce their negative alcohol-specific social reactions to alcohol-involved assault disclosures.

过去的研究表明，对涉及酒精的性侵犯披露所产生的特定于酒精的负面社会反应会对幸存者的康复产生负面影响。然而，对于这些反应与幸存者和非正式支持提供者（SP）之间的关联了解较少。
本研究探讨了一个种族多样的性侵犯幸存者社区样本报告在披露后从其SP处收到的特定于酒精的社会反应的相关因素（=204对）。回归模型检验了幸存者和SP与幸存者报告从其SP处收到的负面特定于酒精的社会反应之间的关联。
一些人口统计学因素（如种族/民族、教育程度）、攻击史和索引攻击特征（如儿童性虐待的严重程度、酒精/药物损害、犯罪者的暴力程度、攻击后的心烦意乱）、披露情况以及幸存者与SP的关系因素（如披露特征、关系类型和满意度）与负面特定于酒精的社会反应有关。此外，几个SP变量（如SP对强奸神话的接受程度、SP在其过去性侵犯中的物质使用情况、SP对幸存者应对方式的看法以及SP对幸存者的积极行为）和康复结果（如创伤后应激障碍、物质使用应对、问题饮酒）也与对幸存者性侵犯披露的负面特定于酒精的社会反应有关。
得出了对未来研究以及对幸存者及其非正式SP进行干预的启示，以减少对涉及酒精的攻击的负面社会反应。需要对非正式SP进行教育和培训，以减少他们对涉及酒精的攻击披露的负面特定于酒精的社会反应。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2025美国心理学会，保留所有权利）
