Abstract

Purpose: This study investigated the prevalence rates of various types of intimate partner violence (IPV) among lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) adults in Hong Kong and examined the associations between IPV and different addictive behavior and mental health problems. Methods: A total of 759 LGB adults completed an online cross-sectional survey between November 2021 and February 2022. Data on past-year IPV and LGB-specific tactics (whether perpetrated or experienced by participants), addictive behavior, anxiety, depression, and demographics were collected and analyzed with descriptive statistics and logistic regressions. Results: Psychological aggression was the most common type of IPV within an LGB relationship (22.1%), followed by physical assault (10.8%) and IPV-related injury (4.1%). LGB-specific tactics were experienced by 39.0% of the LGB adults. Depression, anxiety, and frequent gambling were significantly associated with specific types of IPV and LGB-specific tactics. Conclusion: IPV was prevalent in the LGB population. Findings on correlates provided insights for future development of IPV detection and intervention.

女同性恋、男同性恋和双性恋成年人中的亲密伴侣暴力：香港横断面调查。

目的：本研究调查了香港成年女同性恋者、男同性恋者和双性恋者（LGB）中各种亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）的发生率，并研究了 IPV 与不同成瘾行为和心理健康问题之间的关联。研究方法在 2021 年 11 月至 2022 年 2 月期间，共有 759 名成年女同性恋、男同性恋和双性恋者完成了一项在线横断面调查。调查收集了有关过去一年中 IPV 和 LGB 特定策略（无论是参与者实施的还是经历过的）、成瘾行为、焦虑、抑郁和人口统计学的数据，并使用描述性统计和逻辑回归进行了分析。研究结果心理攻击是 LGB 关系中最常见的 IPV 类型（22.1%），其次是人身攻击（10.8%）和 IPV 相关伤害（4.1%）。39.0%的成年男女同性恋、双性恋和变性者经历过专门针对他们的手段。抑郁、焦虑和频繁赌博与特定类型的 IPV 和 LGB 专有策略有显著关联。结论：IPV 在女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋和变性者人群中普遍存在。关于相关因素的研究结果为今后检测和干预 IPV 的发展提供了启示。

期刊介绍： LGBT Health is the premier peer-reviewed journal dedicated to promoting optimal healthcare for millions of sexual and gender minority persons worldwide by focusing specifically on health while maintaining sufficient breadth to encompass the full range of relevant biopsychosocial and health policy issues. This Journal aims to promote greater awareness of the health concerns particular to each sexual minority population, and to improve availability and delivery of culturally appropriate healthcare services. LGBT Health also encourages further research and increased funding in this critical but currently underserved domain. The Journal provides a much-needed authoritative source and international forum in all areas pertinent to LGBT health and healthcare services. Contributions from all continents are solicited including Asia and Africa which are currently underrepresented in sex research.
