This study evaluated whether a history of sexual abuse could differentiate negative health consequences among men who have sex with men (MSM; N=148) enrolled in a risk counseling program. Over half (51.4%) reported an experience of sexual abuse. A history of sexual abuse was associated with increased psychological distress, increased rates of alcohol (AOR = 2.91; p < .01) and/or drug abuse (AOR = 2; p < .01) treatment, increased risk of housing instability (AOR = 2.13; p < .05), and increased risk for suicidality (AOR = 4.3; p < .001). Findings demonstrate that screening for sexual abuse may be useful in determining the service needs of high-risk MSM.
本研究评估了性虐待史是否能够区分参与风险咨询项目的男男性行为者(MSM;N = 148)的负面健康后果。超过半数(51.4%)的人报告有过性虐待经历。性虐待史与心理困扰增加、酒精(调整后比值比[AOR]=2.91;p<.01)和/或药物滥用治疗率增加(AOR = 2;p<.01)、住房不稳定风险增加(AOR = 2.13;p<.05)以及自杀风险增加(AOR = 4.3;p<.001)相关。研究结果表明,筛查性虐待可能有助于确定高危男男性行为者的服务需求。
