Intimate partner violence (IPV) is becoming more recognized as a public health concern among sexual minority men, including bisexual and gay men. Guided by the Minority Stress Model, we assessed the relationship between perceived discrimination and three forms of IPV among a sample of bisexual and gay men living in the United States.
We analyzed data as part of the Men's Body Project, a cross-sectional study launched in 2020 to assess health behaviors of bisexual and gay men.
A total of 549 individuals participated in the survey, of which 52% were gay and 48% were bisexual men. Perceived discrimination was significantly associated with elevated odds ratios ranging from 1.15 to 1.18 across three forms of IPV, with Physical IPV odds ratio being highest.
Given the significant association between perceived discrimination and IPV, interventions aimed at addressing IPV experiences among sexual minority men must consider the role of minority stress.
亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)在性少数群体男性中越来越被视为公共卫生问题,包括双性恋和男同性恋者。本研究以少数群体应激模型为指导,评估了美国双性恋和男同性恋者群体中感知歧视与三种形式的 IPV 之间的关系。
我们分析了作为 Men's Body Project 一部分的数据,该研究是一项于 2020 年启动的横断面研究,旨在评估双性恋和男同性恋者的健康行为。
共有 549 人参与了调查,其中 52%是男同性恋者,48%是双性恋者。感知歧视与三种形式的 IPV 的比值比显著相关,范围从 1.15 到 1.18,其中身体暴力的比值比最高。
鉴于感知歧视与 IPV 之间存在显著关联,针对性少数群体男性的 IPV 干预措施必须考虑少数群体应激的作用。
