Abstract: Sexual and gender minority (e.g. lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer; SGM) emerging adults (18-25 years) experience sexual violence at a rate nearly double that of their heterosexual, cisgender peers. SGM emerging adults who receive a negative social reaction after disclosure of SV have increased levels of hazardous drinking as well as negative mental health outcomes. To decrease excessive alcohol use and improve mental health among SGM survivors of sexual violence, we will reconstruct an existing intervention (SSS), with promising but mixed effects in an initial pilot, to be delivered to SGM emerging adults, which aims to improve the social reaction they provide to SGM survivors of sexual violence.
