Resumo
Se determinó la prevalencia y los factores de riesgo asociados a la violencia contra la mujer en una muestra aleatoria estratificada de 1043 estudiantes universitarias españolas (media de edad de 22,2 años). A través de una entrevista realizada por psicólogas se recopiló información demográfica, académica y sobre violencia contra la mujer. La prevalencia de vida de la violencia fue del 15,2%; en el 41,5% de esos casos el maltratador ha sido la pareja, en el 50,9% algún otro hombre y en el 7,6% por ambas fuentes. La prevalencia en último año fue del 7,1%. Los factores de riesgo identificados fueron tener más de 19 años, ingresos familiares anuales superiores a 18.000 �, nivel cultural medio de la familia, residencia familiar urbana y presenciar malos tratos en la infancia o adolescencia. Se concluye que se deberían llevar a cabo campañas de sensibilización para prevenir la violencia contra mujer hacia las estudiantes universitarias y establecer servicios de orientación para aquellas que ya la hayan sufrido.
