Abstract:

Objective: To investigate the lifetime prevalence of sexual violence experience and its possible consequences on mental and sexual health in undergraduate students at a public university in Brazil. Method: Quantitative cross-sectional study with 996 undergraduate students. Sampling was carried out systematically by single-stage clusters. Descriptive, bivariate and multivariate analyzes were performed using Poisson regression and the etiological fractions of the consequences of sexual violence experience were calculated. Results: The lifetime prevalence of forced sexual intercourse was 12.1%. Female sex, non-heterosexual sexual orientation, first sexual intercourse before the age of 14, child food insecurity and domestic violence were associated with a higher prevalence of the outcome. Individuals who had forced sex were more likely to be diagnosed with sexually transmitted infections and to be at risk of suicide. Conclusion: The study highlighted the problem of sexual violence in the university context.
