Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence of forced sex among high school students.
  • To assess adolescent attitudes regarding forced sex scenarios.
  • To identify demographic factors associated with acceptance of forced sex.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study was conducted in three large metropolitan Louisiana public high schools.

Main Results:

  • 20% of students reported experiencing forced sex, with only half disclosing the experience.
  • A majority of male students (60%) found forced sex acceptable in at least one scenario.
  • Male, black, and older students were significantly more likely to find forced sex acceptable in certain circumstances (p < 0.05).

Conclusions:
