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

18% of survivors- Banyard, V. L., Ward, S., Cohn, E. S., Plante, E. G., Moorhead, C., & Walsh, W. (2007). Unwanted sexual contact on campus: A comparison of women’s and men’s experiences. Violence and Victims, 22(1), 52–70. http://doi.org/10.1891/vv-v22i1a004

23% of survivors- Dworkin, E. R., Pittenger, S. L., & Allen, N. E. (2016). Disclosing sexual assault within social networks: A mixed-method investigation. American Journal of Community Psychology, 57(1–2), 216–228. http://doi.org/10.1002/ajcp.12033

23% of survivors- Littleton, H. L. (2010). The impact of social support and negative disclosure reactions on sexual assault victims: A cross-sectional and longitudinal investigation. Journal of Trauma and Dissociation, 11, 210–227. Retrieved from http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/15299730903502946

25% of survivors- Orchowski, L. M., & Gidycz, C. A. (2012). To whom do college women confide following sexual assault? A prospective study of predictors of sexual assault disclosure and social reactions. Violence Against Women, 18(3), 264-288.

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!
