作者利用匿名调查问卷的答复，探讨了圣地亚哥地区两所大学就读的 18 至 30 岁学生的童年虐待、自杀意念和性取向之间的关系。 138 名符合条件的受访者中，60% 是女性，22% 是自我认定的同性恋/双性恋者。女性比男性更有可能报告至少一种形式的情感虐待（比值比 [OR] = 2.3 p = .02）和不必要的性接触（OR = 43：p = .0004），女同性恋/双性恋女性比异性恋女性更有可能报告过去的自杀意念（OR = 3.7，p = .03）。男同性恋/双性恋男性比异性恋男性更有可能报告不受欢迎的性接触（OR = 5.1，p = .04），但男性并没有报告过去自杀意念或自杀企图的比率明显更高。性取向以及儿童性虐待、身体虐待和情感虐待的历史可能会加剧大学生自杀意念的危险因素。
The authors explored relationships among childhood abuse, suicidal ideation, and sexual orientation of 18- to 30-year-old students enrolled in 2 San Diego area colleges, using responses from anonymous questionnaires. Sixty percent of the 138 eligible respondents were women, and 22% were self-identified gay/bisexual individuals. Women were more likely than men to report at least 1 form of emotional abuse (odds ratio [OR] = 2.3 p = .02) and unwanted sexual touching (OR = 43: p = .0004), Lesbian/bisexual women were significantly more likely to report past suicidal ideation than were heterosexual women (OR = 3.7, p = .03). Gay/bisexual men were more likely to report unwanted sexual touching than were heterosexual men (OR = 5.1, p = .04), but the men did not report significantly higher rates of past suicide ideation or suicide attempts. Sexual orientation and a past history of child sexual, physical, and emotional abuse could be compounding risk factors for suicidal ideation among college students.
