Bisexual women experience worse mental health outcomes than lesbian and heterosexual women, which may be explained by greater rates of sexual violence among bisexual women. The current comprehensive literature review aimed to synthesize research on mental health and substance use outcomes related to lifetime sexual violence among bisexual women. A comprehensive literature search was conducted within the PsycINFO and Medline databases (final search conducted in August, 2021). Inclusion criteria required articles to examine a mental health or substance use correlate/outcome of lifetime sexual victimization experiences among bisexual women. Fifteen studies met inclusion criteria and were reviewed. Results indicate that there are significant gaps in this literature, including limited research on psychological distress outcomes. Most notably, there is a limited focus on the experiences of bisexual women specifically and the role of bisexual minority stress. Findings indicate that lifetime sexual victimization experiences are linked with increased posttraumatic stress, depression, and alcohol (and other substance) use and consequences. It appears that bisexual women are vulnerable to cumulative victimization, which may further exacerbate outcomes. Clinicians working with bisexual women should provide bisexual-affirmative care, help bisexual women access positive social supports, and build more effective coping strategies for managing post-trauma distress. Future research on outcomes of violence among bisexual women would benefit from contextualizing adjustment following sexual assault within a bisexual minority stress-informed approach for a more comprehensive understanding of this process.

双性恋女性的性受害结果和调整：定量文献综述

双性恋女性的心理健康状况比女同性恋和异性恋女性更差，这可能是因为双性恋女性的性暴力发生率更高。目前的综合文献综述旨在综合有关双性恋女性终生性暴力相关的心理健康和药物使用结果的研究。在 PsycINFO 和 Medline 数据库中进行了全面的文献检索（最终检索于 2021 年 8 月进行）。纳入标准要求文章检查双性恋女性终生性受害经历的心理健康或物质使用相关/结果。15 项研究符合纳入标准并进行了审查。结果表明，该文献存在重大差距，包括对心理困扰结果的有限研究。最为显着地，对双性恋女性的经历以及双性恋少数群体压力的作用的关注有限。调查结果表明，一生的性受害经历与创伤后压力、抑郁和酒精（和其他物质）使用和后果的增加有关。双性恋女性似乎很容易受到累积的伤害，这可能会进一步加剧结果。与双性恋女性合作的临床医生应提供双性恋肯定护理，帮助双性恋女性获得积极的社会支持，并制定更有效的应对策略来管理创伤后痛苦。
