However, previous studies examining SA context have produced mixed results regarding its impact on wellness, particularly when examining the effect of survivor-perpetrator relationships and perpetrator sex. Using data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey (BRFSS), this study examined the effect of perpetrator relationships (former partner, current partner, stranger, relative, friend) and SA characteristics (SA type, survivor sex, perpetrator sex) on general health (GH), mental health (MH), physical health (PH), health-related quality of life (HRQL), and missed days of work (MDW) among sexual assault survivors (N =1,477). A path analysis revealed several direct and indirect pathways. More severe SA was directly and indirectly associated with worse GH, MH, PH, and MDW. Male perpetrator sex resulted in worse MH and PH (direct effect) and worse HRQL (indirect effect) while female perpetrator sex was directly associated with worse HRQL. Being a male survivor was indirectly associated with worse HRQL and MDW. Results of this study suggest that survivor-perpetrator relationships and SA characteristics matter for understanding survivor’s wellness. Future studies and interventions that acknowledge SA context may be useful for bolstering survivor recovery and effective treatment planning."]},{"key":"dc:format","label":"Dc Format","values":["application/pdf"]},{"key":"dc:title","label":"Title","values":["How perpetrator relationships and sexual assault characteristics affect survivor wellness outcomes"]}]}],"canonical_facts":{"dc:contributor":["Gobin, Robyn","Napolitano, Chris","Xia, Yan","Kinderman, Lisa","Khuri, Lydia"],"dc:creator":["Rhoades, Kathryn Lorette"],"dc:date":["2022-04-29T21:45:57Z","2024-04-29T21:47:53Z","2021-12","2021-12-10"],"dc:description":["Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2023-12-01","The student, Kathryn Rhoades, accepted the attached license on 2021-12-01 at 12:14.","The student, Kathryn Rhoades, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2021-12-01 at 12:29.","This Thesis was approved for publication on 2021-12-10 at 08:18.","DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #17264 on 2022-04-06 at 17:16:59","Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-29T21:45:57Z (GMT).
