年轻的黑人同性恋、双性恋和其他性少数男性 (SMM) 面临着严重的警察暴力以及其他负面的、无理的与警察的接触。这种相互作用会产生已知的健康后果。本研究的目的是了解年轻黑人 SMM 经历的警察暴力行为对健康、心理健康和社会造成的后果。我们对 31 名年龄在 16-30 岁之间的黑人顺性别男性进行了深入访谈，并使用主题分析法对数据进行了分析。我们的主要结果概括为四个主题：1）警察的暴行已融入系统并削弱了信任； 2）视频和社交媒体使长期存在的暴力行为变得可见； 3）警察的暴力行为会导致焦虑和其他社会心理影响； 4) 暴力会降低安全感并导致躲避警察。我们的研究结果强调了参与者所遭受的直接和间接的警察暴行，并揭示了此类暴力对信任、安全感、焦虑和创伤症状的影响。这项研究的结果有助于围绕警察对黑人的暴力行为进行必要的公共卫生对话，特别是揭示黑人 SMM 的经历。
Young Black gay, bisexual, and other sexually minoritized men (SMM) face high levels of police brutality and other negative, unwarranted encounters with the police. Such interactions have known health consequences. The purpose of this study was to understand the health, mental health, and social consequences of police brutality experienced by young Black SMM. We conducted in-depth interviews with 31 Black, cisgender men, ages of 16–30 and analyzed the data using thematic analysis. Our primary results are summarized in four themes: 1) Police brutality is built into the system and diminishes trust; 2) Videos and social media make visible violence that has long existed; 3) Police brutality contributes to anxiety and other psychosocial effects; and 4) Violence reduces feelings of safety and contributes to avoidance of police. Our results highlight the direct and vicarious police brutality participants are subjected to and sheds light on the effects of such violence on trust, perceived safety, anxiety, and trauma symptoms. Results from this study contribute to the needed public health conversation around police brutality against Black men, specifically shedding light on the experiences of Black SMM.
