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

[Emily Dworkin <>]

Dear Arika,

Here are some leads. I tried to link to PDFs that weren't behind a paywall. For those that are paywalled, feel free to email me directly if you'd like a copy. 

• Study on the impact on grades
  
• Study on the community impact of SA on a campus 
  
• There's probably some of the prevalence information in the Campus Sexual Assault Study final report from 2007 or 2016. You might also try just using stats on the prevalence of child sexual abuse or adolescent SA. Let me know if you still can't find what you need and I'll do more digging. 
  
• I don't believe any study has assessed the impact of SA on retention/graduation rates. 
• There are several studies of the impact of SA on physical health but they're older and none to my knowledge have looked explicitly at college students.  
• No studies to my knowledge have tested the impact of campus or community-based rape crisis services on the specific outcomes you mentioned, although there is data that community-based rape crisis services tend to be experienced positively. Because I see you are based in a counseling center, in the off chance that your program includes psychotherapeutic treatments for PTSD stemming from sexual assault, here is a review of the effectiveness of Prolonged Exposure, and here is a randomized controlled trial of Cognitive Processing Therapy among SA survivors. (As a side note, I'm a rape crisis advocate at heart and don't see these two treatments as a cure-all for every survivor, but I think they are both fantastic resources to have on hand for sexual assault survivors on campuses given their success in addressing PTSD quickly.) 
  
• There have been several reviews of the impact of SA on mental health (here's one), although none have focused explicitly on college students. I have a paper under review that meta-analyzes all studies since 1970 comparing sexually assaulted adolescents/adults to unassaulted groups in terms of their mental health. We looked at how big the difference in mental health was between these two groups across almost 200 studies, and looked at factors that changed how big the difference was. College students were just as severely affected by sexual assault as other special research populations (e.g., military/veteran, prison inmates, people seeking medical treatment). Because this study has not been published yet, I would rather not post it to the listserv, but I'd be happy to share a draft on request. 
  

Take care,

Emily

EverFi has some of this data. Their Haven online education program collects information from incoming students about experiences of sexual assault, intimate partner violence and stalking prior to arriving on campus, and also attempts to document differences in first-term experiences between survivors and non-survivors. They have some data that shows that survivors might experience more negative outcomes than non-survivors during this time. There's a bit about their research and a contact for more information here: http://everfi.com/haven-insight-report/. The data I mention was presented at an EverFi annual research summit for campuses that use Haven, so I'm not sure if it's publicly available on their site, but you could ask if they are willing to share. 

Take care,

Laura

Hi All,

 

Does anyone have statistics that would support the need for “healing” programs for Survivors?

 

% of students who have had an experience with sexual violence prior to coming to campus?

 

Other data showing impact on grades, retention, physical health, mental health, interpersonal relationships, etc.

 

 

 

Thanks,

~Arika
