伴侣虐待（PA）在年轻人中很常见，但在卫生，社会护理，教育和刑事司法系统工作的专业人员往往会错过。本文探讨了类型的PA经历的年轻人和性健康的联系，看看是否有因素表明更容易受到虐待。年轻人年龄在16至20岁，从英国各地（n=1,754）完成了在线调查，在2010-11。我们报告了情感，身体和性伴侣虐待的经历，并使用logistic回归在双变量分析中建立了与人口统计学和性健康变量的关联模型。三分之一的参与者在过去三个月内报告了一种或多种类型的PA，无论伴侣的性别如何。PA与性传播感染显著相关（年轻女性和年轻男性的比值比分别为1.6和2.9），后悔性行为（OR 2.7和1.9），对性生活感到困扰或担忧（OR 2.7和4.6），性问题，性伴侣数量（每增加一个伴侣，OR为1.2），以及性健康服务的使用（对于年轻男性）（OR=1.9）。与年轻人一起工作的专业人员可能会注意到这些“指标”，并且可以作为询问伴侣虐待情况的提示。
Partner abuse (PA) is common among young people, but is often missed by professionals working in health, social care, education and the criminal justice system. This paper explores the types of PA experienced by young people and links with sexual health to see whether there are factors which indicate greater vulnerability to abuse.Young people aged 16 to 20 from across the UK (n=1,754) completed an online survey in 2010-11. We report experience of emotional, physical and sexual partner abuse and model the associations with demographic and sexual health variables in bivariate analysis using logistic regression.A third of participants reported one or more types of PA within the previous three months, regardless of gender of partner. PA was significantly associated with sexually transmitted infection (Odds Ratios 1.6 and 2.9 for young women and young men respectively), regretted sex (OR 2.7 and 1.9), distress or worry about sex life (OR 2.7 and 4.6), sexual problems, numbers of sexual partners (OR 1.2 for each additional partner), and sexual health service use (for young men) (OR=1.9).These 'indicators' may be noticed by professionals who work with young people, and can act as prompts to ask about partner abuse.
