Factors Influencing Sexual Victimization and Revictimization in a Sample of Adolescent Mothers

Boston University

This study involved secondary analysis of an existing longitudinal data set of a survey of adolescent mothers (N = 315). Using multivariate logistic regression analysis, data from Time 1 were used to predict victimization reported in the year between Time 1 and Time 2. Three factors—any sexual victimization reported at Time 1, previous victimization involving rape using force, and ever having been hit by a partner—increased the likelihood of reported sexual victimization at Time 2. Three other factors were found to reduce the risk of victimization: having been victimized more than 1 year prior to the first survey; being pregnant at Time 1; and reporting satisfaction with social relationships. Additional analyses were used to investigate risk factors for revictimization.
