Abstract

This exploratory study assessed the roles of coping self-efficacy (CSE) and emotion regulation on the relationship between PTSD symptom severity and substance use among female sexual assault survivors (N = 287). We found an interaction between PTSD symptom severity, CSE, and emotion regulation with drug use, but not alcohol use.
