全面性教育的实施在预防性暴力和性骚扰(SVSH)的实施与受害以及支持幸存者方面显示出了希望。有必要确定在经历高水平性暴力和性骚扰的群体中,比如女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别者和酷儿(LGBTQ +)群体,是否也能发现这些益处。利用顺序解释性混合方法研究设计,我们评估了LGBTQ +大学生接受性教育(SE)的情况、他们所依赖的性教育来源,以及性教育对LGBTQ +需求的感知有用性和响应性。与非LGBTQ +同龄人相比,LGBTQ +学生认为性教育在引导个人欲望(t(294) = 2.08,p <.05)和性同意(t(295)= 2.15,p <.05)方面帮助较小。LGBTQ +学生更有可能将媒体(例如互联网、色情作品)作为其在诸如恋爱关系中的暴力和同意等主题上的主要性教育来源。深度访谈证实了定量研究结果,凸显了性教育在LGBTQ +学生中的无响应性,并进一步揭示了必须通过媒体补充性教育增加了LGBTQ +学生对性暴力和性骚扰(包括网络性胁迫)的脆弱性。通过访谈,LGBTQ +学生报告称正式的性教育不具包容性,导致被排斥、被噤声、被抹去的经历,并使他们更容易受到性暴力和性骚扰及相关后果的影响。性教育政策和教育必须进行修改,以便对LGBTQ +学生更具包容性和帮助,特别是在预防性暴力和性骚扰方面。
Exposure to comprehensive sex education shows promise in preventing sexual violence and sexual harassment (SVSH) perpetration and victimization and supporting survivors. Determining if these benefits are also found in communities experiencing high levels of SVSH, such as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) communities, is needed. Utilizing a sequential explanatory mixed-methods study design, we assessed LGBTQ + undergraduates' exposure to sex education (SE), what SE sources they relied on, and SE's perceived usefulness and responsivity to LGBTQ + needs. Compared to their non-LGBTQ + peers, LGBTQ + students perceived SE as less helpful in navigating personal desires (t(294) = 2.08, p < .05) and sexual consent (t(295)= 2.15, p < .05). LGBTQ + students were more likely to use media (e.g., internet, pornography) as their primary source of SE on topics such as violence in relationships and consent. In-depth interviews substantiated quantitative findings, highlighting the non-responsiveness of SE among LGBTQ + students and further revealed that having to supplement SE through media increased LGBTQ + students' vulnerability to SVSH (including online sexual coercion). Via interviews, LGBTQ + students reported formal SE to be non-inclusive, led to experiences of othering, silencing, erasure, and made them more vulnerable to SVSH and related outcomes. SE policy and education must be modified to be more inclusive and helpful for LGBTQ + students, especially relating to SVSH prevention.
