TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - Sexual assault is just the tip of the iceberg: relationship and sexual violence prevalence in college students JO - Journal of college student psychotherapy A1 - Oswalt, Sara B. A1 - Wyatt, Tammy J. A1 - Ochoa, Yesenia SP - 93 EP - 109 VL - 32 IS - 2 N2 - With the advent of the "Dear Colleague" letter in 2011, higher education institutions have become focused on sexual assault and related policies, procedures regarding offenses, and prevention education. Institutions should consider using this spotlight on interpersonal dynamics to increase awareness about other types of relationship violence that may be more common. This secondary data analysis of 72,067 U.S. college students indicates stalking, emotional abuse, and physical abuse are very common. Along with relationship difficulties in general, these forms of relational violence occur more frequently than sexual assault. Implications for counseling and mental health services are provided.
