Evidence from the literature suggests that lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people are at greater risk of experiencing sexual victimization (SV) and intimate partner physical violence (IPPV) than their heterosexual and cisgender peers. Although there has been a plethora of recent research investigating the victimization experiences among LGBTQ adults, little research has examined victimization among LGBTQ youth. The current study consists of a preliminary analysis that compares the prevalence rates of SV and IPPV between LGBTQ and non-LGBTQ youth entering college. First-year students at a large Midwestern university were asked to complete an online questionnaire containing comprehensive measures of SV and IPPV. Results suggested that LGBTQ youth (n = 41) experienced higher rates of nearly every type of violent victimization when compared with their non-LGBTQ peers (n = 350). These results support previous research, which suggests LGBTQ people are at increased risk to be sexually and physically victimized. The results also extended the extant literature by utilizing a subsample of LGBTQ youth, among whom there is a particular dearth of research, relative to adults. This research is a step toward understanding the types of victimization experiences encountered by LGBTQ youth and provides descriptive details that may help to inform future research, school policy, and interventions aimed at improving the safety, health, and well-being of the LGBTQ community.

进入大学的青年人际暴力受害：考察 LGBTQ 与非 LGBTQ 青年之间差异的初步分析

文献证据表明，女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别和酷儿 (LGBTQ) 人比异性恋和顺性别同龄人更容易遭受性侵害 (SV) 和亲密伴侣身体暴力 (IPPV)。尽管最近有大量研究调查 LGBTQ 成年人的受害经历，但很少有研究调查 LGBTQ 青年的受害经历。目前的研究包括一项初步分析，该分析比较了进入大学的 LGBTQ 和非 LGBTQ 青年之间 SV 和 IPPV 的流行率。中西部一所大型大学的一年级学生被要求完成一份在线问卷，其中包含对 SV 和 IPPV 的综合测量。结果表明 LGBTQ 青年 ( n = 41) 与非 LGBTQ 同龄人 ( n  = 350)相比，几乎所有类型的暴力受害率都更高。这些结果支持之前的研究，这表明 LGBTQ 人群遭受性和身体伤害的风险增加。结果还通过利用 LGBTQ 青年的子样本扩展了现有文献，其中与成年人相比，研究特别缺乏。这项研究是了解 LGBTQ 青年遭遇的受害经历类型的一步，并提供了描述性细节，可能有助于为未来旨在改善 LGBTQ 社区的安全、健康和福祉的研究、学校政策和干预措施提供信息。
