The Yale Study on campus sexual assault

The Yale Study on campus sexual assault examined the experiences of college students regarding sexual misconduct. It found that a significant number of students, especially women, experience unwanted sexual contact, often involving alcohol or drugs. The study highlighted that many incidents go unreported due to fear, stigma, or distrust of the reporting process. It also identified risk factors, such as social environments and peer peer norms. Overall, the research underscores the need for better prevention efforts, clearer policies, and supportive resources to address and reduce campus sexual assault effectively.
