We compare lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer (LGBQ+; n = 355) to heterosexual (n = 1227) student experiences with victimization and disclosure. In spring of 2019, random samples of undergraduate and graduate students were invited to take an online victimization survey. Chi-square and logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine disclosure patterns of LGBQ+ and heterosexual students who experienced intimate partner violence or sexual violence. Among those with victimization experiences, we assessed differences in whether and to whom the LGBQ+ and heterosexual students disclosed these experiences. We find that a greater proportion of LGBQ+ students than heterosexual students experience intimate partner violence and sexual victimization in their lifetimes. In addition, a greater proportion of LGBQ+ students experienced sexual victimization since entering the university, before entering the university, in the past academic year, and revictimization. Similar proportions of LGBQ+ and heterosexual students told an informal resource (such as a friend or family member) about their victimization experience. However, in logistic regression models, LGBQ+ students (relative to heterosexual students) had greater odds of telling off-campus formal resources about intimate partner violence and sexual violence. They also had greater odds of telling on-campus formal resources about sexual violence, but not intimate partner violence. It is crucial that on-campus university prevention and intervention services are trauma-informed, inclusive, and anti-oppressive to prevent or mitigate short- and long-term impacts of victimization for vulnerable populations and promote disclosure. Universities must provide support services for intimate partner violence at the same level as sexual violence services.

我们将女同性恋，男同性恋，双性恋和同志（LGBQ +; n  = 355）与异性恋（n = 1227）学生受害和公开的经历。在2019年春季，邀请了大学生和研究生的随机样本进行在线受害调查。进行卡方和逻辑回归分析，以检验经历过亲密伴侣暴力或性暴力的LGBQ +和异性恋学生的披露模式。在经历过受害经历的人中，我们评估了LGBQ +和异性恋学生是否向谁公开这些经历的差异。我们发现，与异性恋学生相比，LGBQ +学生在其一生中经历了亲密的伴侣暴力和性侵害。此外，自进入大学以来，在进入大学之前，有较大比例的LGBQ +学生遭受过性侵害，在过去的学年中，并获得了复兴。LGBQ +和异性恋学生中有类似比例的受害经历也告诉非正式资源（例如朋友或家人）。但是，在逻辑回归模型中，LGBQ +学生（相对于异性恋学生）更有可能告诉校外正式资源有关亲密伴侣暴力和性暴力的信息。他们还更有可能告诉校园内有关性暴力的正式资源，而不是亲密伴侣的暴力。校园内大学的预防和干预服务具有创伤性，包容性和抗压迫感，对于预防或减轻受害对弱势人群的短期和长期影响并促进披露至关重要，这一点至关重要。
