确定在一所西班牙裔服务机构中，性和/或性别少数群体（SGM）学生与异性恋、顺性学生相比，是否更容易经历暴力对他们的学术生活的干扰，以及这种关系如何因种族/民族而不同。数据来自美国西南部一所大学的736名本科生对2017年校园气候调查的回应。对自我认同的SGM学生和报告的学业生活干扰进行多变量logistic回归。该模型还通过种族/民族测试了效果修改。三分之二（67.65%）的SGM学生报告了四次或更多的暴力事件。近五分之一（18.83%）的SGM学生报告受到骚扰、侮辱、威胁或恐吓，2.63%的学生报告受到身体伤害（包括强迫性行为），因为犯罪者认为个人可能是男同性恋、女同性恋、双性恋或变性人。与非SGM学生相比，SGM学生因暴力受害而干扰学术生活的几率增加了2.44 （95% CI: 1.29, 4.61）。当对模型进行种族/民族效应修正评估时，观察到较大的效应量，尽管结果并不显著。SGM本科生在暴力和干扰他们的学术生活的风险显著增加。这项研究强调了高等教育机构需要确保他们的政策和实践支持SGM学生平等接受教育的机会。此外，这项研究有助于深入了解西班牙裔的潜在保护作用，值得进一步研究。
To ascertain whether sexual and/or gender minority (SGM) students at a Hispanic-serving institution who experience violence are more likely to experience interference with their academic lives when compared to heterosexual, cisgender students, and how this relationship differs by race/ethnicity. Data came from 736 undergraduate students at a university in the Southwestern United States responding to a 2017 Campus Climate Survey. Multivariable logistic regression was conducted on self-identified SGM students and reported interference with their academic lives. The model was also tested for effect modification by race/ethnicity. Two-thirds (67.65%) of SGM students reported four or more incidences of violence. Nearly one-fifth (18.83%) of SGM students reported being harassed, insulted, threatened, or intimidated, and 2.63% reported being physically hurt (including forced sex), because the perpetrator thought the individual might have been gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender. SGM students had 2.44 (95% CI: 1.29, 4.61) increased odds of interference with academic life as a result of violence victimization compared with non-SGM students. When the model was evaluated for effect modification by race/ethnicity, large effect sizes were observed, although the results were not significant. SGM undergraduate students are at significantly increased risk of violence and interference with their academic lives. This research emphasizes the need for institutions of higher education to ensure that their policies and practices support equal access to education by SGM students. Additionally, this study contributes insights into a potential protective effect of Hispanic ethnicity that warrants further research.
