Sexual Assault During and After Separation or Divorce in Rural Ohio, 2003-2004
Description
This qualitative study explored incidents of sexual assault
of women by former husbands or cohabitants and the link to male peer
support for sexually aggressive men in rural Ohio. Sexual assault was
defined as unwanted sexual contact, sexual coercion, attempted rape,
or rape. A series of screening questions were asked to determine a
respondent's eligibility for inclusion in the study. The main criteria
were being aged 18 or older and having ever had any type of unwanted
sexual experience when they wanted to end, were trying to end, or
after they had ended a relationship with a husband or live-in male
partner. If they met the selection criteria, the women were invited to
a semi-structured face-to-face interview at a time and place of their
choosing. Between February 2003 and July 2004, 43 women were
interviewed. The interviews included several demographic questions
such as income, level of education, marital status, length of the
relationship, and how long the respondent had lived in the area. Other
questions asked about the unwanted sexual experiences, social support
networks, and male pornography use.
