Abstract
- The purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence of date rape among a statewide, random sample of female high school students. A date rape item was included on the Youth Risk Behavior Survey questionnaire administered to random samples of South Dakota high school students during 1993, 1995, and 1997. The prevalence of date rape among female high school students in the three statewide samples ranged from 11.8% to 14.9%. Due to measurement limitations, these results are likely to underestimate the prevalence of date rape in the study population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
