“…Women who have been victimized are less likely to talk about it. College women especially, are unlikely to disclose IPV voluntarily unless asked directly about the incident (Sutherland et al, 2016). Specific numbers can also be identified among ethnic and racial groups of women in the general public when looking at the lifetime prevalence of sexual assault--with 17.7% of non-Hispanic White, 18.8% of African American, 6.8% of Asian/Pacific Islander, 34.1% of American Indian/Alaska Native, and 14.6% of Hispanic/Latina women reporting a complete rape (Crawford, Leiting, Yeater, Verney, & Lenberg, 2016).…”

“…Psychological abuse typically accompanies physical abuse. The psychological consequences of IPV are far-reaching and can range in magnitude from depression and anxiety to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and attachment disorders (Sutherland, Fantasia, & Hutchinson, 2016). In addition to sexually transmitted infections, human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV/AIDS), inflammatory diseases, unintended pregnancy, preterm delivery, and perinatal deaths can be a result as well (Sutherland, et al).…”

“…Furthermore, IPV has been also linked to increase adverse behavioral outcomes, such as smoking, drinking, taking drugs, or having unprotected sex (Sutherland, Fantasia, & Hutchinson, 2016). According to Breiding et al (2014), the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey of 2011 found that 20% of women experienced one or more of the following consequences of posttraumatic stress disorder: 13.4% were injured physically, 6.9% needed medical care, 1.3% contracted a sexually transmitted disease, and 1.7% became pregnant as a result of IPV violence.…”

“…In other words, intervention requires accurate assessment. Given prevalence and health risks associated with IPV among college students, it is important to examine screening as an integral part of assessment among college populations (Sutherland, Fantasia, & Hutchinson, 2016). Leading organizations and experts recommend screening for IPV beyond college campuses, and some recommend that all women should be screened for IPV, whether the woman is a current or past victim.…”

“…Routinely inquiring about relationship status provides an opportunity to discuss healthy relationships, safer sexual practices, sexual negotiation and communication, and the risks of unwanted or forced sexual activity when under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Having these discussions may increase awareness and provide opportunities for students to disclose details regarding their intimacy issues (Sutherland, Fantasia, & Hutchinson, 2016). According to Hines and Reed (2015), as it pertains to the LGBTQ community, students may feel as though the intervention and programs offered on campus are not relevant to them.…”

Violence between partners, during dating or as a couple, has been under discussion for decades. The numbers of abusive incidents have risen over time in their concurrence and reporting. Multiple studies have confirmed that one in three women will have experienced rape, physical violence, and or stalking by partners within their lifetime. Statistics also show that about one-third, or 32% of college students, in other words, 20-25% overall during their college career, will have experienced sexual assault, dating violence, and or stalking. Use of drugs and alcohol, issues with attachment security troubling, unknown or unspecified mental health conditions, along with other influences from media and peer group, all seem to play a role in the incidences of intimate partner violence (IPV). The current article sheds light on the topic with special reference to the context of college campuses -ways in which IPV unfolds and its possible precursors. Finally, the author reviews the current and emerging prevention and intervention measures that are making distinct efforts in this regard.

Some neighborhood characteristics linked to social disorganization theory have been related to intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW). The study of other neighborhood‐level factors that may influence IPVAW risk, however, has received less attention. The aim of this study is to analyze the influence of university campuses on IPVAW risk. To conduct the study, IPVAW cases from 2011 to 2013 in the city of Valencia, Spain, were geocoded (n = 1,623). Census block groups were used as the neighborhood analysis unit. Distance between each census block group and the nearest university campus was measured. A Bayesian spatial model adjusted for census block group‐level characteristics was performed. Results showed that the distance from a university campus was associated with an approximate 7% increase in IPVAW risk per kilometer. These results suggest that university campuses integrated in the city are related to IPVAW risk. Further research is needed to explain the mechanisms involved.

Experts and professional organizations in the U.S. have issued recommendations that health care providers (HCPs) should screen women for intimate partner violence (IPV) and sexual violence (SV). Despite the high rates of IPV and SV experienced by female college students, investigators have found that providers are not screening for IPV and SV in college health centers. In this study, a cross‐sectional survey design was utilized to: (a) examine college HCPs’ reports of IPV/SV screening behaviors and (b) identify the individual‐level and organization‐level structure and process characteristics that promote or inhibit IPV/SV screening. A total of 773 college HCPs (physicians, nurse practitioners, and registered nurses) were invited to participate in the study using two separate sampling frames. The final sample included 210 college HCPs. Providers reported low rates of IPV/SV screening (median = 20%). Screening rates varied by provider type with nurse practitioners reporting the highest screening rates. Urban location was associated with a three and one‐half times greater likelihood of IPV/SV screening. Use of an electronic health record that included a prompt to screen was associated with a three‐fold increase in the likelihood that HCPs would screen for IPV/SV. Further study is needed to better understand how organizational factors influence providers’ screening behaviors in college health centers and how these influences are mediated. Future studies should include larger and more diverse samples of colleges and examine geographical variations in screening practices.
