Reuter, T. R., Newcomb, M. E., Whitton, S. W., & Mustanski, B. (2017). Intimate partner violence victimization in LGBT young adults: Demographic differences and associations with health behaviors. Psychology of Violence, 7(1), 101-109.

The authors hypothesized that female identifying racial minority members of the LGBT+ community were more likely to experience intimate partner violence (IPV) than their male-identifying white counterparts. Furthermore, they hypothesized that IPV would be associated with certain health habits, such as high usage of alcohol and marijuana. The study drew from a sample of 172 ethnically diverse members of the LGBT+ community in the Chicago area. Each participant first was prompted to complete a demographic form, then was asked a series of questions designed to assess if the interviewee was physically abused by, forced to participate in sex acts with, or verbally abused by an intimate partner. Furthermore, participants were prompted to fill out the HIV Risk Assessment of Sexual Partnerships to determine mental health symptoms and sexual risk taking. Finally, the study collected self-reports of marijuana and alcohol use among participants. Each participant then received a 4-year and 5-year follow up interview. The results confirmed results found in previous studies of heterosexual relationships: that female, male-to female transgender, and African American participants were at the highest risk of victimization. The only difference in IPV between sexual minorities in the study were that lesbian partnerships were more likely to perpetrate IPV. Furthermore, the study found that victims of IPV in the study were at higher risk of developing depression and anxiety, which was again in line with previous studies. While IPV was not the cause of current anxiety, upon a follow up investigation one year later, IPV was the cause of increased anxiety among those interviewed. Finally, the study also found that there was a correlation with sexual risk taking (such as unprotected sex) and IPV.
