Young people (YP) are at greater risk of experiencing intimate partner violence and abuse (IPVA), with high prevalence rates at 18-25 years and potentially severe short and long-term health and social impacts. YP often view adult support services as not for them and more research is needed to understand effective responses to IPVA among different groups.
Semi-structured interviews alongside Life History Calendars were undertaken to explore 18 young peoples' (18-25 years) experiences of community and service level responses to their IPVA between 2019-2020. Thematic analysis and case studies were carried out.
Participant accounts commonly described what did or did not help within: education; primary care physicians and maternity services; third sector or non-government support organisations; and counselling and support workers. YP wanted clearer information on identifying abuse from a younger age in schools and better access and signposting to specialist services. They benefited the most from equal power dynamics in relationships with professionals where they were supported to make their own decisions.
Professionals in all sectors (including schools) need IPVA trauma-informed training that encourages equal power dynamics, with a clear understanding of and access to referral pathways, to be able to respond to the needs of YP experiencing IPVA.
年轻人遭受亲密伴侣暴力和虐待（IPVA）的风险更高，在18至25岁人群中的患病率很高，且可能对健康和社会产生严重的短期和长期影响。年轻人通常认为成人支持服务不适用于他们，因此需要更多研究来了解针对不同群体的IPVA的有效应对措施。
采用半结构化访谈并结合生活史日历，以探讨18名年轻人（18至25岁）在2019年至2020年期间对其IPVA的社区和服务层面应对措施的经历。进行了主题分析和案例研究。
参与者的叙述普遍描述了在以下方面哪些措施有用或没用：教育；初级保健医生和产科服务；第三部门或非政府支持组织；以及咨询和支持工作者。年轻人希望在学校能从更小的年龄就获得更清晰的关于识别虐待行为的信息，以及更好地获得和了解专业服务的指引。他们在与专业人员的关系中受益最大的是平等的权力动态，在这种关系中他们能够得到支持来做出自己的决定。
所有部门（包括学校）的专业人员都需要接受IPVA创伤知情培训，这种培训鼓励平等的权力动态，明确了解并能够使用转诊途径，以便能够应对遭受IPVA的年轻人的需求。
