Driven by intersectionality, a central tenet of Critical Race Theory, this study examines the combined associations of racial and gender discrimination, which are interlocking, macro-level social forces, and teen dating violence (TDV).
Self-report surveys were administered via Audio Computer Assisted Self Interview (ACASI) equipment. Logistic regression models were used to estimate associations between racial and gender discrimination and TDV.
Study participants were recruited during August 2003 to June 2004 from high school health classes and an after-school program located in South Bronx neighborhoods of New York City.
Non-probability sample of 142 Black and Latino teens aged 13-19 years who reported experiences dating someone of a different sex.
Experienced discrimination based on race and gender adapted from the Experiences of Discrimination (EOD) instrument, dating violence items from the Youth Dating Violence Survey.
Of the participants, 40.1% reported experiencing both racial and gender discrimination, and nearly all (93%) experienced dating violence. Participants reporting both racial and gender discrimination were 2.5 times more likely to report experiencing the highest frequency of dating violence, adjusted for age and sex (95% CI: 1.0-6.7). A dose-response of EOD observed in unadjusted models (P for trend =.024) was no longer statistically significant after adjustment for age and sex (P for trend =.073).
Strategies to prevent TDV in this population should not ignore the compounding negative effects of racial and gender discrimination.
受交叉性这一关键种族理论的核心原则的驱动,本研究考察了种族和性别歧视的综合关联,种族和性别歧视是相互关联的宏观社会力量,以及青少年约会暴力(TDV)。
通过音频计算机辅助自我访谈(ACASI)设备进行自我报告调查。使用逻辑回归模型来估计种族和性别歧视与 TDV 之间的关联。
研究参与者是 2003 年 8 月至 2004 年 6 月期间从位于纽约市南布朗克斯区的高中健康课程和课外项目中招募的。
13-19 岁的非概率样本黑人及拉丁裔青少年,他们报告有与不同性别的人约会的经历。
基于经验歧视(EOD)工具改编的基于种族和性别的经历歧视,以及青年约会暴力调查中的约会暴力项目。
在参与者中,40.1%报告经历了种族和性别歧视,几乎所有人(93%)都经历过约会暴力。报告经历种族和性别歧视的参与者报告经历最高频率约会暴力的可能性是经历者的 2.5 倍,调整年龄和性别后(95%CI:1.0-6.7)。在未调整模型中观察到的 EOD 剂量反应(趋势 P 值=0.024)在调整年龄和性别后不再具有统计学意义(趋势 P 值=0.073)。
在这一人群中预防 TDV 的策略不应忽视种族和性别歧视的累积负面影响。
