The article I refer to is Chapter 16 by Kelly Cue Davis et al. “Women’s Sexual Violence Victimization and Sexual Health: Implications for Risk Reduction,” in Lindsay M. Orchowski and Christine A. Gidycz, eds. Sexual Assault Risk Reducation and Resistance: Theory, Research, and Practice, 379-406. Cambridge: MA, Academic Press.  Rebecca Campbell reported three clusters: 1/3 reported more risky behaviors after their sexual assaults, 18% engaged in moderately risky behaviors, and 48% decreased risky behaviors after their assaults.
