先前的研究表明，性少数群体青少年在校外和校内携带武器的可能性都更高。然而，到目前为止，还没有研究考察欺凌和骚扰在多大程度上与性少数群体青少年携带武器有关。我们利用青少年风险行为调查，通过性取向来研究携带武器的普遍性和可能性，并对不良经历进行调整。从2009年至2015年的青少年风险行为调查中，我们研究了不良经历（例如，被欺凌、因担心个人安全而逃学）的自我报告，并进行逻辑回归以估计携带武器的几率，同时对人口统计学因素和不良经历进行了调整。按性取向进行调查时，14.0%的异性恋者、21.8%的男同性恋/女同性恋者、18.5%的双性恋者以及17.4%的“不确定”的学生报告在过去30天内携带过武器。因在学校感到不安全而逃学、在过去一年中曾受到武器威胁以及曾参与过肢体冲突的青少年携带武器的几率显著增加。与异性恋女性同龄人相比，性少数群体女性携带武器的几率更高。儿科医生应该认识到，遭受欺凌和感到不安全与携带武器有关，尤其是在性少数群体中。与青少年打交道的儿科医生和专业人员应该认识到，所报告的欺凌经历可能不是所有青少年携带武器风险的最显著指标，而且其他对欺凌的恐惧或经历对于特别是性少数群体的筛查至关重要。
Prior research has revealed sexual minority youth are more likely to carry weapons both outside of and within school. However, to date, no study has examined the degree to which bullying and harassment is associated with weapon carrying among sexual minority youth. We utilized the Youth Risk Behavior Survey to examine the prevalence and likelihood of carrying weapons by sexual identity, adjusting for adverse experiences. From the Youth Risk Behavior Survey 2009–2015, we examined self-report of adverse experiences (e.g., being bullied, skipping school due to fear for personal safety) and performed Logistic regressions to estimate the odds of carrying a weapon and were adjusted to include demographics and adverse experiences. When surveyed by sexual identity, 14.0% of heterosexual, 21.8% of gay/lesbian, 18.5% of bisexual, and 17.4% of “not sure” students reported carrying a weapon in the past 30 days. Odds of carrying a weapon were significantly increased for youth who skipped school due to feeling unsafe at school, had ever been threatened with a weapon in the past year, and had ever been in a physical fight. Compared to heterosexual female peers, sexual minority women had increased odds of carrying a weapon. Pediatricians should recognize that experiencing bullying and feeling unsafe are associated with weapon carrying, particularly among sexual minorities. Pediatricians and professionals who work with youth should recognize that reported experiences of bullying may not be the most salient indicator of risk for weapon carrying among all youth, and that other fears of or experiences with bullying are crucial to screen for among sexual minorities in particular.
