Abstract
Abstract College women report higher prevalence of sexual assault experiences than the general population. Recent research has explored risk factors for sexual victimization including previous victimization and involvement in risk behaviors. Previous efforts to curtail sexual victimization through educational programs have been relatively unsuccessful, particularly with previous victims. The present study examined the relationship between victimization and risky behaviors in the context of a sexual assault prevention program presented to 310 undergraduate sorority women. The prevention program was effective in increasing knowledge of sexual assault issues, but not in reducing risky sexual behaviors, victimization, or substance use. Implications for prevention programs and directions for future research are discussed.
