TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - The link between ADHD and the risk of sexual victimization among college women: expanding the lifestyles/routine activities framework JO - Violence against women A1 - Snyder, Jamie A. SP - 1364 EP - 1384 VL - 21 IS - 11 N2 - Using data from a nationally representative sample of college women, the current study examines attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) as a potential risk factor in the prediction of sexual victimization among college women and as an extension of the lifestyles/routine activities framework. The findings indicate that college women with ADHD experienced sexual victimization at significantly higher rates than college women without ADHD. Furthermore, ADHD emerged as a significant predictor of sexual victimization across models. The lifestyles/routine activities theory also received general support, particularly for the concepts of exposure, proximity, and guardianship. This research suggests that other risk factors outside the lifestyles/routine activities framework are important in the prediction of sexual victimization in college women.
