Despite the growing literature on intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization against people with disabilities, few studies have examined IPV against men with disabilities. This study uses population-based data to examine the prevalence of past-year and lifetime IPV against men with disabilities in the United States in comparison with men without disabilities and women with and without disabilities, compare the demographic characteristics of men with disabilities who reported IPV to those of other men, and examine associations of IPV and disability status with mental and physical health and other health risks among men. Results indicate that, adjusting for demographic characteristics, men with disabilities were more likely to report lifetime IPV than men without disabilities and, among those reporting any lifetime IPV, men with disabilities were more likely to report past-year IPV than both nondisabled men and women. With few exceptions, comparisons of health indicators revealed that men with disabilities reporting lifetime IPV were more likely than other men to report poor health status and to report engaging in health risk behaviors. Directions for future research and programmatic and policy implications of these results are discussed.
尽管关于亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）侵害残疾人的文献越来越多，但很少有研究探讨针对残疾男性的亲密伴侣暴力。本研究使用基于人群的数据，来调查过去一年及一生中美国残疾男性遭受亲密伴侣暴力的患病率，并与非残疾男性以及残疾和非残疾女性进行比较，比较报告遭受亲密伴侣暴力的残疾男性与其他男性的人口统计学特征，并研究亲密伴侣暴力和残疾状况与男性心理健康、身体健康及其他健康风险之间的关联。结果表明，在对人口统计学特征进行调整后，残疾男性比非残疾男性更有可能报告曾遭受过亲密伴侣暴力，并且在那些报告曾遭受过亲密伴侣暴力的人中，残疾男性比非残疾男性和女性更有可能报告过去一年遭受过亲密伴侣暴力。除少数例外情况外，健康指标比较显示，报告曾遭受过亲密伴侣暴力的残疾男性比其他男性更有可能报告健康状况不佳以及从事危害健康的行为。本文还讨论了未来研究的方向以及这些结果对项目和政策的影响。
