Sexual Harassment and Assault Experienced by Reservists During Military Service: Prevalence and Health Correlates (sc.edu)

ABC News, ABC News Network, abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/us-army-crowdsources-ideas-combat-sexual-assault-crisis-76138151.

I decided to use these two sources because they provide statistics and are excellent information about my project.”We surveyed a stratified random sample of 3,946 former reservists about their experiences during military service and their current health, including depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, somatic symptoms, and medical conditions.”

Discussion 4

Thesis: Sexual harassment/assault is a big issue in the Army. Although we have the program SHARP (Sexual Harassment/Assault Response Program, it still happens. This is still happening because victims are scared to report their accuser. They are scared of the retaliation that might happened to them.
