Abstract

Title IX regulation changes' impact on sexual misconduct (SM) reporting to the institutions of higher education (IHE) in the United States (US) remain poorly understood. To examine trends in the rates of SM reports submitted to each American institution's Title IX Office, we applied a synthetic control. US IHE members of the American Association of Universities comprised the 'treated' group, and Canadian IHE members of the Major Regional Associations were used to create a counterfactual proxy. Marginally significant increases (P = 0.08) in reports followed the 2017 Title IX guidance change (+ 1.18, + 4.51 and + 2.24 reports per 1000 enrolled students in 2017-2018, 2018-2019 and 2019-2020, respectively), and a marginally significant decrease (- 5.23 reports per 1000 enrolled students in 2020-2021) in SM reports to Title IX offices followed the 2020 Title IX iterations. Reporting and response structures, like those specified in Title IX iterations, may influence rates of SM reporting.

第九修正案对美国校园性行为不端报告的影响

第九条法规变更对向美国高等教育机构（IHE）报告性行为不端（SM）的影响仍然知之甚少。为了检查提交给每个美国机构第九条办公室的SM报告的比率趋势，我们应用了一个合成控制。美国大学协会的美国IHE成员组成了“被处理”组，而主要地区协会的加拿大IHE成员被用来创建一个反事实的代理。在2017年第九章指导变化之后，报告的显着增加（P = 0.08）（2017-2018年，2018-2019年和2019-2020年分别为每1000名在校生+ 1.18,+ 4.51和+ 2.24报告），而在2020年第九章迭代之后，向第九章办公室提交的SM报告的显着减少（2020-2021年每1000名在校生- 5.23报告）。报告和回应结构，如第九条迭代中规定的，可能会影响SM报告率。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Public Health Policy (JPHP) will continue its 35 year tradition: an accessible source of scholarly articles on the epidemiologic and social foundations of public health policy, rigorously edited, and progressive. JPHP aims to create a more inclusive public health policy dialogue, within nations and among them. It broadens public health policy debates beyond the ''health system'' to examine all forces and environments that impinge on the health of populations. It provides an exciting platform for airing controversy and framing policy debates - honing policies to solve new problems and unresolved old ones. JPHP welcomes unsolicited original scientific and policy contributions on all public health topics. New authors are particularly encouraged to enter debates about how to improve the health of populations and reduce health disparities.
