The objective of this study is to assess the prevalence of sexual violence, stalking, and intimate partner violence (IPV) across sexual orientation groups among U.S. adults.
From 2010 to 2012, national probability samples ( = 41,174) of English- or Spanish-speaking noninstitutionalized U.S. adults were interviewed to assess the prevalence of violence and injury as part of the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey. National estimates across sexual orientation groups were compared.
Compared with heterosexual women, both bisexual women and lesbians experienced more contact sexual violence (CSV) and noncontact unwanted sexual violence by any perpetrator. In addition, bisexual women experienced more stalking by any perpetrator, IPV, and IPV-related impact than did heterosexual women. Compared with lesbians, bisexual women reported more CSV and stalking by any perpetrator, IPV, and IPV-related impact. Compared with heterosexual men, both bisexual and gay men experienced more CSV and noncontact unwanted sexual violence, and gay men experienced more stalking. Although there were no detected statistically significant differences in the prevalence of IPV overall, gay men did report more IPV-related impacts compared with heterosexual men.
Results reveal a significantly elevated burden of violence experienced by certain sexual minorities.
本研究的目的是评估美国成年人中性取向群体之间性暴力、跟踪骚扰和亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)的患病率。
2010年至2012年期间,作为全国亲密伴侣和性暴力调查的一部分,对说英语或西班牙语的非机构化美国成年人的全国概率样本(n = 41174)进行了访谈,以评估暴力和伤害的患病率。对各性取向群体的全国估计数进行了比较。
与异性恋女性相比,双性恋女性和女同性恋者遭受任何犯罪者实施的接触性性暴力(CSV)和非接触性非自愿性暴力的情况更多。此外,双性恋女性遭受任何犯罪者实施的跟踪骚扰、亲密伴侣暴力以及与亲密伴侣暴力相关影响的情况比异性恋女性更多。与女同性恋者相比,双性恋女性报告遭受任何犯罪者实施的接触性性暴力、跟踪骚扰、亲密伴侣暴力以及与亲密伴侣暴力相关影响的情况更多。与异性恋男性相比,双性恋男性和男同性恋者遭受的接触性性暴力和非接触性非自愿性暴力更多,男同性恋者遭受的跟踪骚扰更多。尽管总体上亲密伴侣暴力的患病率没有检测到统计学上的显著差异,但与异性恋男性相比,男同性恋者确实报告了更多与亲密伴侣暴力相关的影响。
结果显示某些性少数群体遭受暴力的负担显著增加。
