<jats:p> Considerable publicity has focused on sexual violence among military women. The authors report the prevalence of military sexual violence and make comparisons among women veterans who report they experienced sexual violence while in the military and those who did not. Data are from the Veterans' Administration (VA) Womens' Health Project, which was designed to assess the health status of women veterans receiving VA ambulatory care. The nationally representative sample (N = 3,632) consists of female veterans who had at least one ambulatory visit at a VA facility between July 1, 1994, and June 30, 1995. More than half (55%) of the women report they were sexually harassed while in the military, and almost one quarter (23%) report they were sexually assaulted. There are differences in sociodemographic characteristics, military experiences, and current health perceptions of women who reported sexual harassment or sexual assault while in the military as compared to those who did not. The prevalence of military sexual harassment and sexual assault is high and screening for sexual assault is important in all women patients given the differences between groups. </jats:p>
