Sexual and gender minority youth assigned female at birth (SGM-AFAB) are at disproportionately high risk for intimate partner violence victimization (IPVV), yet remain understudied. Using two time points of data collected from 367 SGM-AFAB young people (aged 16-31 years), we tested whether common, general population risk factors (childhood violence, depression, alcohol and cannabis use, and low social support) and unique stigma-related factors (enacted stigma, microaggressions, and internalized stigma) prospectively predicted psychological, physical, sexual, and identity abuse IPVV in the following 6 months. Results indicated that some traditional risk factors, including child abuse, depression, cannabis use, and low social support, raise IPVV risk among SGM-AFAB youth. Microaggressions and internalized stigma represent additional, unique IPVV risk factors in this population. SGM-affirmative efforts to prevent IPVV should address these common and SGM-specific risk factors.
出生时被指定为女性的性少数群体和跨性别青年(SGM-AFAB)遭受亲密伴侣暴力侵害(IPVV)的风险不成比例地高,但研究仍然不足。本研究使用从 367 名 SGM-AFAB 年轻人(年龄在 16-31 岁之间)收集的两个时间点的数据,检验了常见的、一般人群的风险因素(儿童期暴力、抑郁、酒精和大麻使用以及社会支持水平低)和独特的与耻辱感相关的因素(受迫害感、微侵犯和内化耻辱感)是否能前瞻性地预测接下来的 6 个月中 SGM-AFAB 青年的心理、身体、性和身份虐待 IPVV。结果表明,一些传统的风险因素,包括儿童期虐待、抑郁、大麻使用和社会支持水平低,增加了 SGM-AFAB 青年遭受 IPVV 的风险。微侵犯和内化耻辱感是该人群中另外的独特的 IPVV 风险因素。支持 SGM 的努力预防 IPVV 应针对这些常见的和 SGM 特有的风险因素。
