The purpose of this study was to explore perceptions of dating violence among a sample of sexual minority youth. Focus groups were conducted as part of a larger study that surveyed 109 sexual minority youth between the ages of 18 and 24 years. Participants identified four main themes contributing to dating violence among same-sex couples: homophobia (societal and internalized); negotiating socially prescribed gender roles; assumed female connection; and other relationship issues. Such information is essential for determining the need for and content of dating violence services, including education, safety planning, and referrals for mental and physical health services for sexual minority youth.
本研究旨在探讨性少数青年群体对约会暴力的看法。作为一项更大规模研究的一部分，该研究对 109 名年龄在 18 至 24 岁之间的性少数青年进行了调查，并开展了焦点小组讨论。参与者确定了导致同性恋伴侣中约会暴力的四个主要主题：恐同（社会和内化）；协商社会规定的性别角色；假设的女性联系；以及其他关系问题。这些信息对于确定性少数青年约会暴力服务的需求和内容至关重要，包括教育、安全规划以及为心理健康和身体健康服务的转介。
