: Measures of forced intercourse from the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) indicate this a high prevalence among U.S. women that is likely to produce unintended pregnancies. However, NCHS did not measure forced intercourse during the pandemic, limiting knowledge of recent prevalence rates. : We use multiple nationally-representative, cross-sectional surveys representing the U.S. population from 2011 to 2022 to document these trends. This includes measures from the National Survey of Family Growth, the Panel Study of Income Dynamics Transition into Adulthood Supplement, and the American Family Health Study (AFHS) to provide population estimates of forced intercourse. : Reports of forced intercourse remained high during the pandemic, with more than 25% of U.S. females over 40 reporting lifetime forced intercourse in the AFHS (number of females in AFHS: 1,042). There was a significant increase among females aged 24-28 (p<.05) and rates are highest for those who did not complete college. Among females 24-28, 32.5% (S.E. = 5.7%) with less than 4 years of college reported forced intercourse, a significantly (p<.05) higher rate than among those with higher education. : Rates of forced intercourse among U.S. women remained high during the pandemic, increasing significantly in early adulthood. This exposure to forced intercourse is likely to produce an increase in unintended pregnancies and other sexual, reproductive, and mental health problems.
美国国家卫生统计中心（NCHS）的强迫性交数据表明，这种情况在美国女性中普遍存在，很可能导致意外怀孕。然而，NCHS并未对疫情期间的强迫性交情况进行统计，这限制了我们对近期发生率的了解。
我们使用了多个具有全国代表性的横断面调查数据，这些数据涵盖了2011年至2022年的美国人口，以记录这些趋势。其中包括来自全国家庭成长调查、收入动态跟踪调查成年转型补充调查以及美国家庭健康研究（AFHS）的数据，以便对强迫性交情况进行总体估计。
在疫情期间，强迫性交的报告率依然很高，在AFHS中，超过25%的40岁以上美国女性报告称曾有过终身强迫性交经历（AFHS中的女性数量为1042人）。24至28岁的女性中这一比例显著上升（p<.05），且未完成大学学业的女性比例最高。在24至28岁的女性中，大学学历不足4年的女性中有32.5%（标准误 = 5.7%）报告称曾遭遇强迫性交，这一比例显著高于受过高等教育的女性（p<.05）。
在疫情期间，美国女性中的强迫性交发生率依然很高，在成年早期显著上升。这种强迫性交经历很可能导致意外怀孕以及其他性健康、生殖健康和心理健康问题的增加。
