Prevalence of Victimization and Use of Victims Services on College Campuses in the LGBQT Community

• In Event: The Increased Risk of Victimization in Immigrant and LGBQT Communities

Abstract

The prevalence of victimization among college students have been well documented in the literature, but little is known about the extent to which LGBQT college students are victimized. Further, the utilization of available services on college campuses for victims has not been explored for these two groups. To explore these issues, the current study uses data from The National College Health Assessment by The American College Health Association (ACHA-NCHA), which includes data on students enrolled in universities and colleges from across the United States. Results from this study have policy and practice implications for both LGBQT and other college students and institutions of higher learning.
