The study scope included review of extent on which women in science, engineering, and medicine are victimized by sexual harassment on college and university campuses, in research labs and field sites; at hospitals/medical centers; and in other academic environments. RTI also examined existing information on the extent to which sexual harassment in academia negatively impacts the recruitment, retention, and advancement of women pursuing scientific, engineering, technical, and medical careers, with comparative evidence drawn from other sectors, such as the military, government, and the private sector. And lastly, RTI identified and analyzed policies, strategies and practices that have been the most successful in preventing and addressing sexual harassment in these settings.
