To compare sexual health risks and protective resources of homeless adolescents self-identified as gay (G), lesbian (L), or bisexual (B), with those self-identified as heterosexual, and to determine the differences between these two groups and the differences within the GLB group.
A secondary analysis of survey data collected from a nonprobability sample of 425 homeless adolescents between 16 and 20 years of age.
Sexual health risks and protective resources differed between those self-identified as GLB and those self-identified as heterosexual. More G/L youth reported a history of sexual abuse and being tested and treated for HIV, and more scored lower on the assertive communication measure than did bisexual or heterosexual youth. Moreover, there were gender differences within the GLB group; more males than females self-identified as homosexual and more females than males self-identified as bisexual.
Sexual health interventions for this population should be both gender- and sexual orientation-specific.
比较自我认定为男同性恋(G)、女同性恋(L)或双性恋(B)的无家可归青少年与自我认定为异性恋的无家可归青少年的性健康风险和保护资源,并确定这两组之间的差异以及GLB组内部的差异。
对从425名16至20岁的无家可归青少年的非概率样本中收集的调查数据进行二次分析。
自我认定为GLB的青少年与自我认定为异性恋的青少年在性健康风险和保护资源方面存在差异。与双性恋或异性恋青少年相比,更多的男/女同性恋青年报告有性虐待史以及接受过艾滋病毒检测和治疗,并且在自信沟通测量中得分更低。此外,GLB组内部存在性别差异;自我认定为同性恋的男性多于女性,自我认定为双性恋的女性多于男性。
针对这一人群的性健康干预措施应针对性别和性取向。
