Abstract Details

2014, MA, University of Cincinnati, Arts and Sciences: Psychology.
This study assessed the associations between victimization (physical, adult sexual, and child sexual abuse), relationship power, and unprotected sex occasions in substance abusing African American women. The current study was a secondary analysis of baseline data collected from 124 African American women from the National Institute on Drug Abuse Center for Clinical Trials Network 0019 (CTN 0019) (Tross, Campbell, Cohen, Calsyn, Pavlicova, Miele, et al., 2008). The CTN 0019 protocol was a multi-site randomized clinical trial that assessed the intervention of Safer Sex Skills Building (SSSB) in women substance abusers to reduce HIV risk. In the current sample, 70.2% (N=87) endorsed lifetime physical abuse from a male sexual partner. There were no associations between victimization and unprotected sexual occasions in the current sample at baseline (p>.05). Moreover, there were no associations between negotiation skills and unprotected sexual occasions in the current sample. The moderation model of SRP decreasing the relationship between victimization and risky sexual behavior was nonsignificant (p>.05). The current study is among the first to examine moderating factors of SRP in substance-abusing African American women.
