Dr. Garner's research examines alcohol misuse as it relates to sexual aggression perpetration and risky sexual behaviors (e.g., hookups, casual sexual encounters, sexting) among high-risk populations (e.g., college students, adults with substance use disorders). She utilizes longitudinal methods including daily diary designs to better understand the individual difference factors that moderate the risk of alcohol use leading to sexual risk-tasking and assault. Dr. Garner’s research has been funded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.
