INTRODUCTION Peer sexual harassment is associated with adolescent substance use at the global level; however, it is unknown whether substance use occurs proximal in time to the sexual harassment experience. This study used daily reports to examine the proximal relations between sexual harassment victimization and affect and substance use. Based on theories of self-medication, we hypothesized that negative affect and substance use (cigarettes, electronic cigarettes, alcohol, and marijuana) would be higher than typical on days when sexual harassment occurred relative to nonvictimization days. METHOD A community sample of 13-16-year-old adolescents (N = 204, 55.4% female) from a metropolitan area in the northeastern United States completed 56 days of online reports assessing experiences with peer sexual harassment, substance use (cigarettes, electronic cigarettes, alcohol, and marijuana), and positive and negative affect. RESULTS Multilevel modeling revealed that experiencing sexual harassment on a given day was associated with higher than typical negative affect on that day, relative to nonvictimization days. The likelihood of cigarette and alcohol use (but not electronic cigarettes, marijuana, or positive affect) was greater on days when sexual harassment occurred. CONCLUSION Sexual harassment victimization is proximally associated with negative affect and alcohol and cigarette use, suggesting that adolescents may be using substances to cope with sexual harassment victimization. The co-occurrence of sexual harassment with negative affect and substance use points to the need for prevention efforts that conjointly address sexual harassment victimization, coping, and substance use.

同伴性骚扰、情感和物质使用：青少年之间的日常关联。

引言 在全球范围内，同伴性骚扰与青少年药物滥用有关；然而，目前尚不清楚药物滥用是否发生在性骚扰经历的时间附近。这项研究使用每日报告来研究性骚扰受害与情感和物质使用之间的密切关系。根据自我药疗理论，我们假设，相对于非受害日，发生性骚扰的日子里的负面情绪和物质使用（香烟、电子烟、酒精和大麻）会高于典型情况。方法 来自美国东北部大都市区的 13-16 岁青少年社区样本（N = 204，55.4% 为女性）完成了 56 天的在线报告，评估同伴性骚扰、物质使用（香烟、电子产品）的经历。香烟、酒精和大麻）以及积极和消极的影响。结果多层次模型显示，相对于非受害日，在某一天经历性骚扰与该日典型的负面影响相关。在发生性骚扰的日子里，使用香烟和酒精（但不包括电子烟​​、大麻或积极情绪）的可能性更大。结论 性骚扰受害与负面情绪以及酗酒和吸烟密切相关，这表明青少年可能会使用物质来应对性骚扰受害。性骚扰与负面影响和药物滥用同时发生，表明需要采取预防措施，共同解决性骚扰受害、应对和药物滥用问题。
