If you find a primary citation for those numbers, could you share it with
the rest of us? Even though, numerous secondary sources cite those
numbers, I'm not sure they can be supported by the research. I understand
that in the work of Mary Koss and others that 73% of assailants and 55% of
victims reported use of alcohol or other drugs prior to sexual assault.
Perhaps, up to 90% of sexual assault involve AOD, but I think that is only
anectodal.
