It cannot be proscriptive, and so that might mean that we need to figure out innovative ways to get in there and have the conversations.
Sexual assault on college campuses is a pressing issue, and alcohol often plays a significant role in these incidents. In this episode of 'The Addiction Psychologist', Dr. Jen Read delves into her groundbreaking research on this complex problem. With over half of reported cases involving alcohol, Dr. Read's work sheds light on the intricate social environments where these assaults occur and the effects of alcohol on decision-making and social interactions.
Instead of traditional perpetrator-focused interventions, which have shown limited success, Dr. Read advocates for innovative approaches that leverage friendships and encourage open conversations about safety during nights out. Her research highlights the importance of addressing hostile attitudes towards women and being vigilant about highly intoxicated individuals. Dr.
Read, a respected professor at the University at Buffalo, also shares valuable advice for practitioners and trainees in the field of addiction psychology, urging them to think broadly and creatively about harm reduction strategies. Tune in to this enlightening episode to gain a deeper understanding of how we can better protect students and foster safer campus environments.
