Regretted sexual experiences are reported at higher rates among sexually active female college students than by their male counterparts. Moreover, alcohol is involved in approximately one third of regretted sex experienced by college students. Previous research has shown that students who implement protective behavioral strategies (PBS) while drinking are able to reduce alcohol-related negative consequences, including regretted sex. In order to compare differences in associations among alcohol use, PBS, and regretted sex, the current study examined these associations as a function of gender. Results were analyzed for each of the 3 subtypes of PBS: Manner of Drinking (MD); Stopping/Limiting Drinking (SLD) and Serious Harm Reduction (SHR). The current study included 371 college students (64.15% female) from a moderate-sized Midwest university. Participants completed a series of online surveys that assessed drinking habits, alcohol-related consequences (i.e., regretted sex), and PBS use. A multigroup path analysis found that alcohol use was positively associated with regretted sex, however, 2 of the 3 PBS subtypes (MD and SLD) were negatively associated with alcohol use. The third PBS subtype (SHR) yielded a direct negative relationship with regretted sex for women, but not for men. Lastly, the interaction of SHR and alcohol use was significantly associated with regretted sex, which was moderated by gender. These results suggest an among PBS use, decreased alcohol use, and fewer instances of regretted sex. Further examination of the differences in relationships among PBS subtypes, alcohol use, and regretted sex for men and women is warranted.
