Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

Hi Juliette,

Here at EverFi, we recently did an analysis of 2014-15 student survey responses from 2-year community and technical colleges using Haven (57 institutions, ~20k students). Below are the relevant data points we have around relationship violence (broadly defined) and stalking, but first a little context on methods. 

Haven is typically implemented pre-matriculation, with incoming students taking a pre-survey before going through the program. After completing Haven, there is a brief intersession period (4-6 weeks) before the follow-up content and post-survey -- this is intended to more accurately reflect students knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, perceptions, and experiences upon arriving at their school and acclimating to the culture. The data below are from the post-survey, asking about students experiences before and after they arrived at their school (thus reflecting experiences of relationship violence and stalking within the first 30-45 days on campus).

Relationship violence

I have experienced some form of abuse (verbal, physical, sexual, emotional, financial) or threats of abuse in a current or previous relationship.

Before coming to campus = 39% of females, 17% of males

After coming to campus = 7% and 3%, respectively

Stalking

In the past, I have experienced repeated and unwanted attention, harassment, or some other contact from another person that has made me feel afraid.

Before coming to campus = 26% of females, 7% of males

After coming to campus = 6% and 2%, respectively

Hope this is helpful, albeit clearly troubling in terms of prevalence in this population. We also used the Abusive Behavior Inventory (Shepard and Campbell, 1992) in our Climate Survey implemented over the past 12 months by 65 schools reaching ~15,000 students. We haven't done the school-type breakdown of responses yet, but a good number of these schools were community and technical colleges -- stay tuned. Lastly, here is an Insight Report we did on sexual victimization (and bystander intervention norms) of incoming students from our broader data set last year of over 500k students. 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best,

Rob

Any help you can provide would be super helpful - sorry for the cross-postings!

1) Average age of respondents in the 2000 Fisher, Cullen & Turner Sexual Victimization of College Women Survey?

2) Any data on how often SV is part of dating/domestic violence?

3) Any recommended stats around DV/Stalking that include 2-year/community colleges? I have some for SV, but need some relevant data for CCs where the average age of a student is 25...

Thank you!!
