abstract="To use egocentric network analysis to understand how composition and structure of  egonetworks relate to violence victimization among college students. Participants:  697 students from a large southeastern university completed online surveys. <br><br>METHODS:  Hierarchical logistic regression analyses assessed the relationship between  egocentric network variables and a history of violence victimization. <br><br>RESULTS: Being  connected to others with a history of violence victimization increased a student's  odds of indicating their own history of physical, emotional, and sexual violence  victimization. Having less dense egonetworks was related to sexual violence  victimization, while being connected to less people of the same gender was related  to emotional violence victimization. <br><br>CONCLUSION: The way college students' networks  are composed and structured could help in understanding violence victimization in  this population, and should be considered in prevention and reactionary efforts on  campuses. These findings add to the current literature largely focused on  individual-level risk factors related to violence.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
