This exploratory project assessed whether female college students studying abroad engage in more risk reduction strategies (RRSs) when abroad than in their community of origin and whether changes in students' use of RRSs while abroad are related to a variety of factors (e.g., fear of victimization, year of study). Results revealed that students engaged in significantly more RRSs while abroad and that students studying in Africa were more likely to increase their use of RRSs. Seniors engaged in fewer RRSs. Results extend the RRS literature by confirming that the employment of strategies is location dependent and associated with other factors.

设置重要吗？女大学生出国受害风险降低策略探索性考察

该探索性项目评估了出国留学的女大学生在国外是否比在其原籍社区参与更多的风险降低策略（RRS），以及学生在国外使用 RRS 的变化是否与多种因素有关（例如，害怕受害，学习年份）。结果显示，在国外学习的学生明显更多地使用 RRS，而在非洲学习的学生更有可能增加对 RRS 的使用。老年人参与较少的 RRS。结果通过确认策略的使用取决于位置并与其他因素相关，从而扩展了 RRS 文献。
