Females between the ages of 18 and 24 consistently experience higher rates of sexual violence compared to females in any other age group (Sinozich & Langton, 2014).

To meet this need, the present researchers developed and validated the College Mental Health Perceived Competency Scale (CMHPCS).

Reliability and construct validity of the CMHPCS are …
