Alcohol Intoxication and Bystander Intervention Study

This study is looking at how alcohol intoxication affects a person's willingness to step in and help in situations that could lead to sexual violence. Researchers want to understand if being drunk, your gender, and your attitudes about helping others change how you react. You might receive a moderate amount of alcohol to reach a breath alcohol concentration of .08% (either while your alcohol level is rising or falling), or you might be in a group that doesn't drink alcohol. The study will measure your thoughts about reasons not to help and your intentions to help within 35 minutes to 2.5 hours after drinking. You can join if you are between 21 and 30 years old and have consumed a similar amount of alcohol at least three times in the past year. The current status of this study is unclear.

Study design
This is an interventional study planning to enroll 192 participants. Participants will be assigned to one of three groups: alcohol intoxication (ascending limb), alcohol intoxication (descending limb), or a no alcohol control group.
What's involved
Participants will complete a study task after receiving alcohol or no alcohol. The main measurements will be taken between 35 minutes and 2.5 hours after drinking.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants' thoughts and intentions related to bystander intervention will be measured between 35 minutes and 2.5 hours after drinking.

What this trial measures

  • Articulated Thoughts of Barriers to Bystander Intervention35 minutes to 2.5 hours post-drinking

    Participants will verbally respond to a heat-of-the-moment scenario where they are a bystander of a risky alcohol-related sexual violence situation using the articulate thoughts in simulated situations paradigm \[Davidson et al., 1983\].
