title: Sexual Dysfunction Problems in Female College Students: Sexual Victimization, Substance Use, and Personality Factors.
abstract: Little empirical information is available on sexual dysfunction (SD) among college women even though college years represent a critical period in the development of sexuality. The current study aimed to identify factors associated with the presence, number, and type of SD problems among 547 female college students in the United States. Racial minority status, problematic drinking behaviors, and past sexual victimization were positively related to the presence of SD problems, whereas hormonal contraceptive use and past sexual victimization were associated with a greater number of SD problems. These findings highlight the importance of assessment, treatment, and prevention of sexual health issues on college campuses.
