Female-assigned at birth sexual and gender minorities (FAB SGM) are at elevated risk of experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV), yet little longitudinal research has been conducted with this population. In the current study, we attempted to understand how patterns of IPV victimization and perpetration, measured across a wide range of IPV behaviors (psychological, physical, sexual, cyber, and SGM-specific), changed over time for FAB SGM youth. Participants came from a longitudinal cohort study of FAB SGM late adolescents and young adults (FAB400; = 488) and included anyone who reported a romantic partner at one of the first three waves (six months apart; = 433). Latent class analysis (LCA) was run at each wave to determine the best-fitting class structure across IPV experiences. These were followed up with latent transition analyses (LTAs) to determine patterns of movement between classes over the course of the three waves. Lastly, we looked at the effects of staying with the same romantic partner on transitions. We found that the same three-class structure replicated across all three waves of the study. That class structure identified no/low, psychological, and high IPV classes at each wave. In the LTA, when transitions occurred for FAB SGM, they were much more likely to transition to a class defined by lower likelihoods of experiencing IPV (i.e., psychological to no/low) than they were to a class defined by higher likelihoods of IPV (i.e., psychological to high). However, we found that FAB SGM youth were less likely to transition to a less severe IPV class if they maintained the same serious romantic partner across waves. This finding, in particular, suggests that IPV is often relationship specific for FAB SGM and that efforts to reduce IPV in SGM communities must consider intervening at the relationship level to effect meaningful change.
出生时被指定为女性的性少数群体(FAB SGM)经历亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)的风险较高,但针对该人群的纵向研究很少。在当前的研究中,我们试图了解 IPV 受害和施暴模式如何随着时间的推移而发生变化,这些模式跨越了广泛的 IPV 行为(心理、身体、性、网络和 SGM 特定)。参与者来自 FAB SGM 青少年和年轻成年人的纵向队列研究(FAB400;n=488),并包括在前三个波次中报告有浪漫伴侣的任何人(每隔六个月一次;n=433)。在每个波次中都进行潜在类别分析(LCA),以确定 IPV 经验的最佳拟合类别结构。随后进行潜在转移分析(LTA),以确定在三个波次过程中类别的转移模式。最后,我们研究了与同一浪漫伴侣保持关系对转移的影响。我们发现,相同的三类别结构在研究的所有三个波次中都得到了复制。该类别结构在每个波次中都确定了无/低、心理和高 IPV 类别。在 LTA 中,当 FAB SGM 发生转移时,他们更有可能转移到一个经历 IPV 可能性较低的类别(即心理到无/低),而不是转移到一个经历 IPV 可能性较高的类别(即心理到高)。然而,我们发现,如果 FAB SGM 青年在波次之间保持相同的严重浪漫伴侣,他们不太可能转移到一个不那么严重的 IPV 类别。这一发现尤其表明,IPV 对 FAB SGM 通常是关系特定的,并且为了减少 SGM 社区中的 IPV,必须考虑在关系层面上进行干预,以实现有意义的改变。
