In addition to the primary aim, associated health outcomes with TFSV were discussed through a qualitative lens. Specific forms of TFSV that were examined include distribution of, production of, and threats to distribute sexual material involving another individual without that person\u2019s consent via images or videos; 425 articles from MEDLINE, PsycArticles, PsycINFO, Criminal Justice Abstracts, ProQuest Dissertations &amp; Theses, and Google Scholar were screened. Nineteen articles (comprising 20 independent samples) reporting prevalence rates of TFSV on 32,247 participants were included in this random-effects meta-analysis. Pooled prevalence of victimization results revealed that 8.8% of people have had their image or video-based sexts shared without consent, 7.2% have been threatened with sext distribution, and 17.6% have had their image taken without permission. Regarding perpetration, 12% have shared sexts beyond the intended recipient, 2.7% have threatened to share sexts, and 8.9% have nonconsensually taken an image. Moderator variables included publication year, mean participant age, proportion of female participants, and study setting, with meta-regression analyses revealing no significant predictors. Finally, a qualitative analysis of nine articles ( n = 3,990) was conducted to assess mental health associations with TFSV victimization, revealing significant mental health impacts, including anxiety, depression, and poor coping, for victims.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1524838020958057","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,15]],"date-time":"2020-09-15T06:29:20Z","timestamp":1600151360000},"page":"428-443","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":170,"title":["The Prevalence of Technology-Facilitated Sexual Violence: A Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8913-2840","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Unnati","family":"Patel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Mental Health Law and Policy Institute, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ronald","family":"Roesch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mental Health Law and Policy Institute, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1524838020958057","volume-title":"Sexting uncensored: An exploratory study on the behaviors, experiences, and perceptions of sexting among college students","author":"*Abraham A.","year":"2015"},{"key":"bibr2-1524838020958057","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1557085116654565"},{"key":"bibr3-1524838020958057","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/2533446"},{"key":"bibr4-1524838020958057","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jrsm.12"},{"key":"bibr5-1524838020958057","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2466\/21.16.PR0.116k22w4"},{"issue":"1","key":"bibr6-1524838020958057","first-page":"128","volume":"11","author":"*Branch K.","year":"2017","journal-title":"International Journal of Cyber Criminology"},{"key":"bibr7-1524838020958057","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1524838009334456"},{"key":"bibr8-1524838020958057","first-page":"345","volume":"49","author":"Citron D.","year":"2014","journal-title":"Wake Forest Law Review"},{"key":"bibr9-1524838020958057","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.chb.2018.11.023"},{"key":"bibr10-1524838020958057","unstructured":"Criminal Code (R.S.C., 1985, c.
