少数性取向的妇女（如女同性恋、双性恋）比异性恋妇女更有可能报告童年受虐待和企图自杀的历史；然而，少数性取向发展的时间对这种风险增加的重要性是不确定的。本研究调查了自我报告的达到少数性取向发展里程碑的年龄（第一次意识到同性吸引，向他人披露少数性取向，以及同性性接触）与童年虐待和自杀未遂经历之间的关系，研究对象是来自多个社区的2001名妇女。年龄较小的少数性取向发展里程碑与自我报告的童年虐待经历和童年自杀企图呈正相关。在调整了虐待的差异后，性取向发展里程碑年龄较小的自杀企图的几率降低了50%到65%，这表明虐待可能占了早期少数性取向发展妇女儿童自杀企图风险升高的一半左右。本文讨论了对性少数群体的服务、干预和进一步研究的影响，以解决虐待差异。
Women with minority sexual orientations (e.g., lesbian, bisexual) are more likely than heterosexual women to report histories of childhood maltreatment and attempted suicide; however, the importance of the timing of minority sexual orientation development in contributing to this increased risk is uncertain. This study investigated relationships between self-reported ages of achieving minority sexual orientation development milestones (first awareness of same-gender attractions, disclosure of a minority sexual orientation to another person, and same-gender sexual contact), and childhood maltreatment and suicide attempt experiences in a sample of 2,001 women recruited from multiple-community sources. Younger age of minority sexual orientation development milestones was positively linked to self-reported recall of childhood maltreatment experiences, and to a childhood suicide attempt. After adjusting for differences in maltreatment, the odds of suicide attempt attributable to younger age of sexual orientation development milestones was reduced by 50 to 65%, suggesting that maltreatment may account for about half of the elevated risk for childhood suicide attempts among women with early minority sexual orientation development. Implications for services, interventions, and further research to address maltreatment disparities for sexual minorities are discussed.
