Description:
We present findings on a continuum of dating and sexual violence experienced or perpetrated in 3 large colleges. Experiencing some form of physical dating violence ranged from 3.5% - 2.7% while using physical dating violence ranged from 2.0%- 1.5%. There are important opportunities for prevention efforts on college campuses.
