对同性男性伴侣中亲密伴侣虐待的模式和类型知之甚少,也很少有研究探讨经历此类虐待的同性恋和双性恋男性的心理社会特征和健康问题。本研究以芝加哥地区817名男男性行为者为研究对象,探讨了与亲密伴侣虐待相关的心理和人口统计学因素对男性行为的影响,并探讨了其与各种健康问题的关系。总体而言,32.4%(n=265)的参与者报告了过去或当前关系中任何形式的关系虐待; 20.6%(n=168)报告有言语虐待史(“身体或性威胁,公开羞辱或控制”),19.2%(n=157)报告身体暴力(“打,踢,推,烧,切,或其他身体伤害”),和18.5%(n=151)报告不想要的性活动。54%(n=144)的男性报告有任何虐待史,报告了一种以上的形式。年龄和种族与虐待报告无关。抑郁症和药物滥用是亲密伴侣虐待的最强相关因素。报告近期无保护肛交的男性更有可能报告虐待,Wald(1,n=773)=9.02,p
Little is known about the patterns and types of intimate partner abuse in same-sex male couples, and few studies have examined the psychosocial characteristics and health problems of gay and bisexual men who experience such abuse. Using a cross-sectional survey sample of 817 men who have sex with men (MSM) in the Chicago area, this study tested the effect of psychological and demographic factors generally associated with intimate partner abuse and examined their relationship to various health problems. Overall, 32.4% (n=265) of participants reported any form of relationship abuse in a past or current relationship; 20.6% (n=168) reported a history of verbal abuse ("threatened physically or sexually, publicly humiliated, or controlled ''), 19.2% (n=157) reported physical violence ('' hit, kicked, shoved, burned, cut, or otherwise physically hurt"), and 18.5% (n=151) reported unwanted sexual activity. Fifty-four percent (n=144) of men reporting any history of abuse reported more than one form. Age and ethnic group were unrelated to reports of abuse. Depression and substance abuse were among the strongest correlates of intimate partner abuse. Men reporting recent unprotected anal sex were more likely to also report abuse, Wald (1, n=773)=9.02, p
