The impact of interpersonal violence on college students has received considerable attention, yet no studies have been conducted among community college students, who comprise 40% of all American college students, and have unique risk factors and needs. Community College students are more likely to be women, people of color, working, parenting, and first generation college students.
Data were collected from a simple random sample from four community colleges (n=435).
A cross-sectional quantitative survey was used to assess the extent of intimate partner violence, trauma exposure, sexual violence, and associated mental health consequences among female students.
Over 27% of participants reported IPV in the past year, while 25% reported sexual assault and 34% reported other uncomfortable sexual experiences in their lifetime. Nearly 20%of participants were currently reporting PTSD symptoms.
Community Colleges should work with service providers to build their capacity to respond to students' needs.
人际暴力对大学生的影响已受到相当多的关注,但尚未对占美国大学生总数40%且具有独特风险因素和需求的社区学院学生进行研究。社区学院学生更有可能是女性、有色人种、在职人员、有子女的人以及第一代大学生。
数据来自四所社区学院的简单随机样本(n = 435)。
采用横断面定量调查来评估女学生中亲密伴侣暴力、创伤暴露、性暴力及相关心理健康后果的程度。
超过27%的参与者报告在过去一年中遭受过亲密伴侣暴力,25%报告遭受过性侵犯,34%报告一生中曾有过其他令人不适的性经历。近20%的参与者目前报告有创伤后应激障碍症状。
社区学院应与服务提供者合作,增强其满足学生需求的能力。
