与异性恋关系中亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）的研究文献相比，我们对性少数女性（SMW）中亲密伴侣暴力的了解远远滞后。本文回顾了有关性少数女性中亲密伴侣暴力流行率的文献，并讨论了性少数女性和异性恋女性之间的差异。还讨论了该领域的方法学问题。此外，我们回顾了这一人群中物质使用、性少数群体压力和亲密伴侣暴力之间的关联。最后，对潜在的保护因素，如社会和社区支持、身份认同、掌控感和应对方式进行了研究。当研究人员和临床医生致力于改善性少数女性的健康状况时，考虑关系暴力、物质使用和少数群体压力之间的关联非常重要。此外，了解哪些因素可能促进性少数女性的适应也至关重要。（C）2012爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
Compared to the research literature on intimate partner violence (IPV) in heterosexual relationships, our understanding of IPV among sexual minority women (SMW) lags far behind. This paper reviews the literature regarding the prevalence of IPV among SMW and discusses disparities between SMW and heterosexual women. Methodological issues in this area are also discussed. Moreover, we review associations among substance use, sexual minority stress, and IPV in this population. Finally, potential protective factors, such as social and community support, identity, mastery, and coping, are examined. As researchers and clinicians work to improve the health of SMW it is important to consider the associations among relationship violence, substance use, and minority stress. Moreover, it is essential to understand what factors may promote adjustment among SMW. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
