UNH researchers tackle college sex assault, drinking


Researchers at the University of New Hampshire's Prevention Innovations Research Center received a three-year grant from the National Institutes of Health to evaluate an innovative strategy to keep on-campus incidents of intimate partner violence or sexual assault from leading to problem drinking and/or mental health issues, such as depression. While research shows that a negative reaction to a disclosure of intimate partner violence or sexual assault often leads to negative outcomes, no intervention to date has been developed and evaluated specific to recipients of a disclosure.
