The current study aims to assess the prevalence, perpetrators, and consequences of cyber sexual harassment (CSH) among adolescent females.
Sexually active adolescent females (N = 159) ages 15-19 were recruited from a health clinic in a low-income, urban area of southeast San Diego County, California to complete a tablet-administered survey that included items on sexual violence and harassment, including CSH. Using logistic regression models, we assessed CSH in relation to substance use, poor mental health outcomes and STI history.
Participants were, on average, 17 years of age and half were currently in a relationship. The majority of girls (68%) reported at least one form of CSH, which included receiving unwanted sexual messages/photos (53%), receiving unwanted messages asking them to do something sexual (49%), being pressured to send sexual photos (36%), and having sexual photos shared without permission (6%). Perpetrators included known and unknown males; almost a third (27%) reported perpetration by a relationship partner. In logistic regression models adjusting for race, CSH was associated with: past 30-day alcohol use, drug use (ever), feeling depressed (past 30 days), and feeling anxious (past 30 days) (Odds Ratios ranged: 2.9-7.5). CSH was also associated with past-year suicidal thoughts and STI diagnosis (ever) (p < 0.05, ORs not presented due to small numbers).
Our findings suggest that in some subgroups, CSH appears to be affecting the majority of girls, which is especially concerning given its association with multiple poor health outcomes.
本研究旨在评估少女群体中网络性骚扰（CSH）的流行率、施害者和后果。
从加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥东南部低收入城区的一家医疗诊所招募了 159 名 15-19 岁有性行为的少女，让她们使用平板电脑完成一份包括性暴力和性骚扰内容的调查问卷，其中包括 CSH 相关内容。我们采用逻辑回归模型，评估了物质使用、心理健康不良结局和性传播感染史与 CSH 的关系。
参与者的平均年龄为 17 岁，其中一半目前处于恋爱关系中。大多数女孩（68%）报告至少有一种形式的 CSH，包括收到不想要的性信息/照片（53%）、收到不想要的要求进行性行为的信息（49%）、被要求发送色情照片（36%）以及未经允许共享色情照片（6%）。施害者包括已知和未知的男性；近三分之一（27%）的女孩报告施害者为恋爱关系中的伴侣。在调整种族因素后的逻辑回归模型中，CSH 与以下因素相关：过去 30 天内的酒精使用、药物使用（曾经）、过去 30 天内的抑郁感、过去 30 天内的焦虑感（比值比范围：2.9-7.5）。CSH 还与过去一年的自杀想法和性传播感染史（曾经）相关（p<0.05，由于数量较少，未呈现比值比）。
我们的研究结果表明，在某些亚组中，CSH 似乎影响了大多数少女，鉴于其与多种不良健康结局的关联，这令人尤为担忧。
