A review from 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021, and 2022 showed 27% of PA students experienced mistreatment. Asian, bisexual, or female students had high variance in percent of mistreatment over the study period and increasing mistreatment over time. While straight, White, or males showed high variance and decreased mistreatment over time. An expanded statistical analysis of these trends in student mistreatment is needed to better understand the significance of this finding.
