TY - JOUR PY - 2019// TI - The risk factors of abusive relationships for non-traditional students JO - Journal of American college health A1 - Min, Hosik SP - 174 EP - 179 VL - 67 IS - 2 N2 - The objective of this study is to examine the effect of non-traditional student status on abusive relationships, namely emotional, physical, and sexual abuse. Logistic regression models were employed as a statistical strategy by using the 2011-2014 American College Health Association National College Health Assessment II data. The results showed that non-traditional students compared to traditional ones indeed had higher odds ratios of having abusive relationships. Non-traditional students compared to traditional students, however, were more likely to experience emotional and physical abuse, but not sexual abuse. Thus, the prevention programs and policies related to abusive relationships need to be address differently based on the results of this study, which is also important for non-traditional students to adjust and succeed in higher education and further their careers.
