abstract="PURPOSE: Sexual consent is important to healthy relationships; however, sexual coercion is common. We examine modifiable risk and protective factors for sexual coercion among high school students in a rural community. <br><br>METHODS: We surveyed 10th graders (N = 442) in a rural, Midwestern, low-to-middle income county before receiving an evidence-based sex education program. Sexual coercion was a single item, &quot;has anyone you were dating or going out with forced you to do sexual things that you did not want to do?&quot; We examined associations between sexual coercion and demographics, risk behaviors, sexual self-efficacy, controlling relationship behaviors, parent communication, and adverse childhood experiences. <br><br>RESULTS: Approximately 22% of females and 8% of males reported experiencing sexual coercion at least once in their lifetime. Gender differences emerged in associated risk and protective factors, including sexual sex efficacy, controlling relationship behaviors, parent-adolescent communication about sex, and adverse childhood experiences. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: Sexual coercion is common among adolescents in rural communities. Prevention interventions should target modifiable risk and protective factors.<br><br>Copyright © 2019 Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine. Published by Elsevier Inc.
