This report summarizes the lifetime and past
12-month prevalence of five forms of sexual
violence victimization of women and men in the
United States which includes rape, being made to
penetrate someone (men only), sexual coercion,
unwanted sexual contact, and sexual harassment
in a public place. It also includes findings that
highlight the differences in the forms of sexual
violence victimization prevalence by race/ethnicity,
characteristics of the victimization (type and sex of
perpetrator, age at first victimization), direct impacts
of the victimization, and its association with certain
health conditions.
The National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS) is an ongoing, national random-digit-dial (RDD) telephone survey on sexual violence (SV), stalking, and intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization. Data, representative of the U.S. non-institutionalized adult population, are collected from the non-institutionalized English- and Spanish-speaking U.S. population aged 18 or older using a dual-frame sampling strategy that includes landlines and cell phones. NISVS provides national and state-level estimates of these types of violence, collecting data from all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Record #7977
