Popis: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that one in five women in the United States will be sexually assaulted at some point during their lifetime, creating a greater burden on the health care system than any other type of crime [1, 2]. However, understanding the scope of the sexual assault problem in the United States may be limited due to inherent underreporting. Approximately 60–70% of sexual assaults are not disclosed to the police, according to the Department of Justice [3–5], and only half of those who report to the police receive any medical treatment.
