Note. For the previous scoring, items were scored 0 (never experienced in my lifetime) and 1 (experienced at least once in my lifetime). Values are percentages of women in the sample who endorsed each item as having been experienced at least once. For the current scoring, the following scale was used for the frequency of each behavior in the past 30 days: 0 = this activity did not occur, 1 = activity occured once, 2 = activity occurred twice, 3 = activity occurred three times, 4 = activity occurred four times, 5 = activity occurred five times, 6 = once a week, 1 = two to six times a week, 8 = once a day, and 9 = two or more times a day.
