However, less is known about the specific beliefs that people hold about how alcohol facilitates sexual aggression and victimisation. The present study aimed to identify these alcohol-related beliefs among young Australian adults." Six men and nine women aged 18– 24 years, in focus group and interviews, were asked to discuss the role of alcohol in a hypothetical
alcohol-involved rape. 12 of the participants self-identified as being of an Australian or New Zealand background. Researchers were based at the Queensland University of Technology. (from the authors' abstract). Record #4601
