Although patients with mental illness have a higher risk of becoming victims of sexual abuse in adulthood, few studies investigate the proportion of male victims in this population. Their underrepresentation in research is a barrier to understanding the negative outcomes associated with sexual abuse in men.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S2056472421010693_sec_a2\"><jats:title>Aims<\/jats:title><jats:p>We estimated the prevalence of recent (past year) and adulthood sexual abuse perpetrated by any perpetrator and separately by intimate partners in males diagnosed with a mental illness.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S2056472421010693_sec_a3\" sec-type=\"methods\"><jats:title>Method<\/jats:title><jats:p>To model the prevalences and heterogeneity arising from reports, we used Bayesian multilevel models.
