Most respondents (89.7%) reported exposure to at least one DSM-5 Criterion A event (see Table 2). For comparison with other studies, we report the separate prevalence of direct sexual or physical assault by sex. The prevalence of either type of direct interpersonal violence victimization was 53.1% (58.6% of women and 47.1% of men), which included childhood physical abuse, aggravated assault (physical assault with a weapon, or with intent to kill or seriously harm perceived by the victim), rape, and other sexual assault (see Table 2). Prevalence of sexual assault victimization was 29.7% overall (42.4% among women and 15.8% among men). Physical assault victimization was 43.7% overall (44.9% of women and 42.4% of men).
