The National College Women Sexual Victimization (NCWSV) administrated a telephone survey of 4,446 randomly selected women attending a 2- or 4-year college or university during the fall of 1996.
Questions were asked between February and May 1997, but the sample was limited to schools with at least 1,000 students and they were stratified by the size of the total student enrollment and the school's location. A probability proportional with the size of the total female enrollment was used in order to randomly select schools throughout the United States. 2 |
The National Women's Study, funded by the National Institute of Drug Abuse, conducted a study which was prolonged during a three-year period. It implicated a national probability cross section of 4,008 adult women (ages 18 and older). 2,008 represented a random sample of all adult females and 2,000 corresponded to an over sample of younger women between ages 18 and 34.
The NWS gathered information about new cases that happened to adult women during the two-year follow up period and data is as followed... 1
21.9% were husbands.
9.8% were other relatives. 9.8% were friends. 14.6% were other nonrelatives. |
