• Description:
  Sexual violence is a significant public health issue that impacts many people, with college and university students being particularly at risk. Studies show that one in five women experience attempted or completed sexual assault during her college years. Men are also victimized. It has been noted that more than 6% of men experienced attempted or completed sexual assault in college. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is committed to preventing sexual violence, and recent, national attention to sexual violence on U.S. campuses has presented new opportunities to address this problem. As such, CDC is expanding our portfolio of work that addresses the problem on college and university campuses. Through partnerships, technical assistance, and research, CDC is looking to identify evidence-based strategies to prevent sexual violence on campus.
