This study was designed to assess the prevalence and timing of sexual assault experiences in a sample of U.S. Army soldiers.
Self-administered surveys were completed by 555 male and 573 female soldiers in combat service and combat service support units.
One-fifth of the women reported a completed rape (22.6%), and 50.9% of women and 6.7% of men reported any sexual assault. The majority of sexual assaults occurred before the soldiers entered the military, and 25% of women and 1% of men reported an attempted or completed rape during childhood. Sexual assault history also varied by sociodemographic characteristics.
Results suggest that a history of childhood sexual abuse may be more widespread among female soldiers than among civilian women, and that ascribed and achieved status characteristics may differentially expose soldiers to sexual assaults both before and after they enter the military. Health care assessments should include details of a soldier's sexual assault history.
本研究旨在评估美国陆军士兵样本中性侵犯经历的发生率和时间。
555名男性士兵和573名女性士兵在作战部队和作战保障部队中完成了自我管理的调查。
五分之一的女性报告曾被强奸既遂(22.6%),50.9%的女性和6.7%的男性报告曾遭受任何形式的性侵犯。大多数性侵犯发生在士兵入伍之前,25%的女性和1%的男性报告在童年时期曾遭受强奸未遂或既遂。性侵犯史也因社会人口统计学特征而异。
结果表明,童年性虐待史在女兵中可能比在平民女性中更为普遍,并且归因和获得的身份特征可能使士兵在入伍前后遭受性侵犯的风险有所不同。医疗保健评估应包括士兵性侵犯史的详细信息。
