Alcohol consumption and sexual victimization among college women

Psychol Rep. 1998 Feb;82(1):80-2. doi: 10.2466/pr0.1998.82.1.80.

Abstract

842 women enrolled in large health classes offered at a midwestern university completed a health survey from which report of both the women's drinking behavior and their experience with sexual victimization could be excerpted. Both correlations and analysis of variance indicated an association between the amount of alcohol the women reported drinking each week and their over-all experiences with sexual coercion.
