This study assessed the prevalence of unwanted early sexual experiences of 1434 first-year university students, of whom 409 (28.5%) reported exposure to early unwanted sexual experiences. Most respondents reported knowing the perpetrator (80.2%) and being exposed to the unwanted behavior once (175; 45.7%). The most common coercive practice was "talk" (109; 38%) followed by being scared because they were bigger and stronger (61; 21.3%).
