Although research has shown that undergraduate women are at high risk for experiencing sexual assault, little research has been conducted with undergraduate women who are attending a historically Black college or university (HBCU). The purpose of this research is to document the prevalence of different types of sexual assault among undergraduate women at HBCUs and make comparisons to data collected from undergraduate women at non-HBCUs. Data on sexual assault victimization were collected from 3,951 undergraduate women at HBCUs using a cross-sectional, web-based survey. These data are compared to data collected from 5,446 undergraduate women at non-HBCUs using the same research methods. Findings indicate that approximately 9.7% of undergraduate women at HBCUs report experiencing a completed sexual assault since entering college. This rate is considerably lower than the comparable rate obtained from undergraduate women at non-HBCUs (13.7%). This difference seems to be associated with differences in alcohol-use frequency. Perhaps undergraduate women at HBCUs drink alcohol much less frequently and are thus less likely to be sexually assaulted when they are incapacitated and unable to provide consent. Alcohol use frequency, while controlling for other factors, seems to have an independent association with the likelihood of an undergraduate woman being sexually assaulted. Implications for the creation and delivery of sexual assault risk reduction and prevention policies and programs are discussed.
虽然研究表明本科女生遭受性侵犯的风险很高，但针对在历史上的黑人学院或大学（HBCU）就读的本科女生的研究却很少。本研究旨在记录 HBCU 本科女生遭受不同类型性侵犯的普遍性，并将其与非 HBCU 本科女生的数据进行比较。使用横断面、基于网络的调查，从 HBCU 的 3951 名本科女生那里收集了性侵犯受害的数据。这些数据与使用相同研究方法从非 HBCU 的 5446 名本科女生那里收集的数据进行了比较。研究结果表明，大约 9.7%的 HBCU 本科女生在进入大学后报告经历过一次完整的性侵犯。这一比率明显低于非 HBCU 本科女生（13.7%）的可比比率。这种差异似乎与饮酒频率的差异有关。也许 HBCU 的本科女生饮酒频率低得多，因此当她们失去能力且无法同意时，被性侵犯的可能性较小。在控制其他因素的情况下，饮酒频率似乎与本科女生被性侵犯的可能性存在独立关联。讨论了制定和实施性侵犯风险降低和预防政策和方案的影响。
