Emerging adulthood (EA) is a time of self-exploration as new opportunities for independence and autonomy arise. Yet, for some youth, this may also contribute to instability, uncertainty, and anxiety. Consequently, evidence suggests that rates of exposure to various forms of violence increase in EA. This study examined changes in experiences of bullying and sexual violence (SV) victimization among a sample of post-high school emerging adults who were exposed to a primary prevention program, Sources of Strength (Sources). We also examined whether Sources skills (e.g., healthy coping and help-seeking) buffer against these experiences. Participants were 102 emerging adults (73.5% identifying as female, 36.3% as Latinx, and 22.6% as LGBQ), who completed surveys at three time points: 1 month prior to graduation and at 6- and 12-months post-graduation. Results suggest that as youth transition into emerging adulthood, experiences of bullying victimization were relatively low and slightly decreased whereas experiences of SV were also relatively low, but stable over time. Notably, bullying victimization was lower when female-identifying participants, relative to males, had higher levels of healthy coping. In addition, SV victimization for participants identifying as non-white was higher at lower levels of coping than those identifying as white; however, at higher levels of coping, non-white participants reported lower rates of SV victimization, while rates were relatively stable for white participants at high and low levels of coping. These findings provide some support for the Sources program model where engaging in healthy coping may protect young women from bullying exposure and buffer against SV victimization for racial and ethnic minoritized young adults. Implications for violence prevention are discussed.

随着独立和自主的新机会出现，新兴成年期 (EA) 是自我探索的时期。然而，对于一些年轻人来说，这也可能导致不稳定、不确定和焦虑。因此，有证据表明 EA 中各种形式的暴力暴露率增加。本研究调查了接受初级预防计划Sources of Strength (资料来源)的高中后新兴成年人样本中欺凌和性暴力 (SV) 受害经历的变化。我们还检查了来源技能（例如，健康的应对和寻求帮助）可以缓冲这些经历。参与者是 102 名新兴成年人（73.5% 为女性，36.3% 为拉丁裔，22.6% 为 LGBQ），他们在三个时间点完成了调查：毕业前 1 个月以及毕业后 6 个月和 12 个月。结果表明，随着青年过渡到成年期，欺凌受害经历相对较低且略有下降，而 SV 经历也相对较低，但随着时间的推移保持稳定。值得注意的是，当女性身份参与者相对于男性具有更高水平的健康应对时，欺凌受害率较低。此外，在较低的应对水平下，识别为非白人的参与者的 SV 受害程度高于识别为白人的参与者；然而，在更高的应对水平上，非白人参与者报告的 SV 受害率较低，而白人参与者在高和低应对水平下的比率相对稳定。这些发现提供了一些支持参与健康应对的来源计划模型可以保护年轻女性免受欺凌暴露，并缓冲种族和少数族裔青年的 SV 受害。讨论了对暴力预防的影响。
