Abstract:

        Objective: Research has shown associations between college
women's alcohol and/or drug consumption and the risk of sexual assault,
but few studies have measured the various means by which sexual assault
is achieved.
        Participants: The authors' Campus Sexual Assault Study obtained
self-report data from a random sample of undergraduate women (N =
5,446).
        Methods: The authors collected data on sexual assault
victimization by using a cross-sectional, Web-based survey, and they
conducted analyses assessing the role of substance use. The authors also
compared victimizations before and during college, and across years of
study.
        Results: Findings indicate that almost 20% of undergraduate
women experienced some type of completed sexual assault since entering
college. Most sexual assaults occurred after women voluntarily consumed
alcohol, whereas few occurred after women had been given a drug without
their knowledge or consent.
        Conclusions: The authors discuss implications for campus sexual
assault prevention programs, including the need for integrated substance
use and sexual victimization prevention programming. [ABSTRACT FROM
