3. Résumé

«Descriptive data from our study indicated that the CTS2 was able to detect more cases of IPSV [intimate partner sexual violence] than the SES and the prevalence rate obtained with the CTS2 was significantly higher. More specifically, 63% with SES and 73% with CTS2 of participants reported some form of sexual violence from their partner in the past year with 79.7% of them reporting sexual violence on at least one measure. Both instruments were concordant for 76.8% of the sample in detecting presence or absence of sexual victimisation; the phi value indicated that the SES and CTS2 measured a similar sexual violence concept. That said, our results suggest that the CTS2 is a more sensitive instrument for identifying IPSV when compared to the SES since it was able to detect 23 more cases of sexual violence (16.7% of sample). Conversely, the SES identified 9 cases undetected with the CTS2 (6.5% of sample).» (p. 228)
