Dear Julia and others,
See below for a few more recent estimates of the percent of college student survivors who never tell anyone. The estimates range from 18% to 25%. 
Take care,
Emily

Hey folks -

I hope you are all well.  I'm doing a presentation and wondered if there are any updated stats since Koss's study in the 80s, addressing how many college survivors tell no one.  She came up with 42% - is this still what folks are using?

Thanks!
