Self-report of sexual orientation and sexual behavior was compared for 12,978 reservation-based American-Indian and 11,356 rural Anglo-American adolescents. Findings included a significantly higher prevalence of homosexual, bisexual, and unsure responses among American Indians. However, a larger nonresponse rate for American-Indian adolescents raises questions about the cultural relevance of the survey method, and underscores the need for development of more culturally sensitive research tools and methods.
对12978名居住在保留地的美国印第安青少年和11356名农村英裔美国青少年的性取向和性行为自我报告进行了比较。研究结果显示,美国印第安青少年中同性恋、双性恋及不确定答案的比例显著更高。然而,美国印第安青少年的无回应率更高,这引发了对调查方法文化相关性的质疑,并凸显了开发更具文化敏感性的研究工具和方法的必要性。
