Although college students who are sexual and gender minorities (SGM) experience higher rates of sexual victimization than their peers who identify as heterosexual and cisgender, there is a paucity in the literature investigating how college campuses can address the needs of SGM college students in violence prevention and response. The present research examines a subset of data from the Healthy Minds Survey (HMS), a national web-based survey administered across two universities from 2016 to 2017. We examined the role of SGM status in the rates of sexual violence, perceptions of their college/university’s institutional response to reports of sexual violence (e.g., taking a report seriously and taking corrective action), and the perceived impact of reporting sexual violence (e.g., students would support the person making a report). Logistic regression analyses revealed higher rates of sexual victimization among sexual minority students (compared to heterosexual), women (compared to men), and transgender and gender diverse (TGD) students (compared to cisgender). In addition, sexual minority (compared to heterosexual), women (compared to men), and TGD (compared to cisgender) students were more likely to perceive their institution would have a poor response to reports of sexual violence. Women and sexual minority students were also likely to believe that students who report sexual violence would suffer academically. These findings highlight the need for continued efforts to enhance sexual assault prevention and response efforts on college campuses, especially for SGM students.

尽管性少数和性别少数 (SGM) 的大学生比异性恋和顺性别的同龄人遭受性伤害的比率更高，但研究大学校园如何满足 SGM 大学生在暴力预防方面的需求的文献很少和回应。本研究检查了健康心理调查 (HMS) 的一部分数据，这是一项全国网络调查，于 2016 年至 2017 年在两所大学进行。我们检查了 SGM 状态在性暴力发生率、对大学的看法中的作用/大学对性暴力报告的机构反应（例如，认真对待报告并采取纠正措施），以及报告性暴力的感知影响（例如，学生会支持报告的人）。逻辑回归分析显示，性少数群体学生（与异性恋者相比）、女性（与男性相比）以及跨性别和性别多样化 (TGD) 学生（与顺性别者相比）的性受害率更高。此外，性少数群体（与异性恋相比）、女性（与男性相比）和 TGD（与顺性别者相比）学生更有可能认为他们的机构对性暴力报告反应不佳。女性和性少数学生也可能认为报告性暴力的学生会在学业上受到影响。这些发现强调需要继续努力加强大学校园的性侵犯预防和应对工作，尤其是 SGM 学生。
