National Insights
On Sexual Assault
in Higher Education
8
National Insights from the EverFi Network
Your results should be viewed in a broader, shifting national context. Here are
some highlighted insights from EverFi’s vast student survey responses.
9
The College Effect
In aggregate, we anticipate students’ sexual assault attitudes and behaviors to
worsen upon arrival to college.
Why?
The “College Effect.” Research shows
that the first few weeks of college
pose the highest risk across a variety
of behaviors, and the transition to
college can be particularly detrimental
to a subset of students.
10
Understanding the Patterns of Distinct Groups
Most college students have healthy attitudes and behaviors when it comes to
relationships.
Unhealthy Minority
Healthy Majority
•
Healthier SA responses
•
Wide variety of SA responses
•
Primarily female
•
Primarily male
•
More likely to abstain from
alcohol and drugs
•
•
Less likely to drink underage
and get drunk underage
More likely to be younger and be in
their freshman year, live in college
residence hall
•
MUCH more likely to experience
negative consequences from drinking
•
More likely to report sexually
assaulting another person
•
More likely to be athletes and Greek
members
35%
65%
These findings are consistent with research literature
and should inform prevention efforts with students.

Bystander Intervention and Social Norms
Students have been asked about their likelihood and comfort in intervening to prevent
sexual and relationship violence, and respect for others who intervene. They were also
asked how they think most students on their campus would respond.
These responses form the basis of a social norms approach to overcome student barriers
to bystander action by aligning student perceptions of the norm to actual campus norms.
