abstract="OBJECTIVE: To assess the prevalence of sexual violence victimization among a community college student population. PARTICIPANTS: In March 2017, students (800) from seven community colleges in a northeastern state participated in an online campus climate survey using the ARC3 Survey Instrument. <br><br>METHODS: We analyze demographic differences between participants who were victimized and those who were not, and we examine the relationship between participant victimization and well-being. <br><br>RESULTS: Participants who identified as female, younger than 26, not heterosexual, or a race other than Caucasian were significantly more likely to report victimization. Participants who reported victimization were significantly more likely to score negatively on well-being scales than those who did not. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: Sexual violence prevalence rates among community college students are similar to reported prevalence rates among traditional 4-year undergraduate students. <br><br>RESULTS suggest a need for increased research on sexual violence among the understudied community college student population.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
