Abstract
Every year thousands of adults in the United States experience rape and sexual violence. Few studies have examined and compared the nuances of sexual assault narratives from the survivors at the time of the sexual assault medical examination, especially among survivors who did not report to police. This thematic analysis compared the descriptive narratives of survivors who voluntarily used substances and survivors who did not at the time of their medical examination. Results indicated five overarching themes with corresponding subthemes: nonprototypical characteristics, disruption, gaps in narratives, safety consequences, and distrust and neglect in systems.
期刊介绍：
We all face the difficult problem of understanding and treating the perpetrators and victims of violence behavior. Violence and Victims is the evidence-based resource that informs clinical decisions, legal actions, and public policy. Now celebrating its 25th year, Violence and Victims is a peer-reviewed journal of theory, research, policy, and clinical practice in the area of interpersonal violence and victimization. It seeks to facilitate the exchange of information on this subject across such professional disciplines as psychology, sociology, criminology, law, medicine, nursing, psychiatry, and social work.
