Abstract
        
To examine the context of sexual assault and postassault actions and 
consequences among women attending historically Black colleges or 
universities (HBCUs), web-based surveys were administered in November 2008 to 
3,951 undergraduate women attending four HBCUs. Data on the context in which 
assaults occurred were generated for women who had been sexually assaulted 
since entering college (n = 358). Multivariate models were run on the full 
sample to examine the association between sexual assault and symptoms of 
depression and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Results indicated that 
most survivors were assaulted by assailants well known to them and when the 
survivor and perpetrator were drinking alcohol. Very few survivors disclosed 
their experiences to formal sources of support. Survivors had significantly 
more symptoms of depression and were more likely to screen positive for PTSD 
than nonvictims. Further research on disclosure and its moderating role on 
the mental health consequences of sexual assault is needed.

Does anyone know of any references for prevalence rates of sexual assault 
specifically among college students according to racial and ethnic identity? 
There is plenty out there on lifetime prevalence rates but so far I cannot 
find anything for college students.  

Thanks to anyone out there who can help.  Susan
