Food insecurity and housing insecurity questions were individually coded as follows: never=0, rarely=1, sometimes=2, usually=3, and always=4. The two questions were summed and split into three levels representing high (6–8); medium (3–5); and low (0–2) food and housing insecurity.
Adjusted for age, income, race/ethnicity, marital status, and education.
Contact sexual violence includes rape, being made to penetrate a perpetrator, sexual coercion, or unwanted sexual contact.
Noncontact unwanted sexual experiences include, for example, someone exposing his or her sexual body parts, flashing, or masturbating in front of the victim, or someone harassing the victim in a public place in a way that made the victim feel unsafe.
