In a cross-sectional survey of college students (N = 614) we studied interpersonal violence victimization, perpetration, and mental health outcomes in an ethnoracially diverse rural-based sample of Asian Americans (27%), and Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islanders (25%), two groups vastly underrepresented in trauma research. High rates of interpersonal violence (34%), violence perpetration (13%), and probable psychiatric diagnoses (77%), including posttraumatic stress disorder, were found. Exposure to physical violence, sexual violence, and life stress all were predictive of psychopathology. Female participants were associated with higher likelihood of sexual violence victimization compared to male participants, and Asian American status (especially among males) was associated with lower likelihood of physical and sexual violence compared with European Americans. These data enhance our understanding of interpersonal violence and mental health outcomes among previously understudied minority groups.
在一项针对614名大学生的横断面调查中，我们在一个以农村为基础、种族多样化的样本中研究了人际暴力受害情况、施暴情况及心理健康结果，该样本包括亚裔美国人（27%）和夏威夷原住民/其他太平洋岛民（25%），这两个群体在创伤研究中的代表性极低。研究发现人际暴力发生率很高（34%）、暴力施暴率为13%，可能的精神疾病诊断率为77%，其中包括创伤后应激障碍。遭受身体暴力、性暴力和生活压力均能预测精神病理学情况。与男性参与者相比，女性参与者遭受性暴力的可能性更高；与欧裔美国人相比，亚裔美国人身份（尤其是男性）遭受身体暴力和性暴力的可能性更低。这些数据增进了我们对先前未得到充分研究的少数群体中人际暴力和心理健康结果的理解。
