“…For example, studies commonly ask about experiences with victimization that are explicitly related to young people's sexual orientation, [18][19][20] whereas others examine victimization more broadly without defining it as discriminatory. 21,22 For suicidal ideation and suicide attempts, there is also variability in the measures that are used. Some studies assess lifetime suicidal ideation, whereas others assess recent suicidal ideation.…”

Minority Stress and Suicidal Ideation and Suicide Attempts Among LGBT Adolescents and Young Adults: A Meta-Analysis

et al. 2022

Purpose: This meta-analytic study examined associations between minority stressors and suicidal ideation and suicide attempts among LGBT adolescents and young adults (aged 12-25 years). Methods: Identified studies were screened using the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Studies had to include an association between a minority stressor and a suicidality outcome and were categorized into 10 meta-analyses. Overall effect sizes were calculated using three-level meta-analyses. In addition, moderation by sampling strategy was examined. Results: A total of 44 studies were included. Overall, LGBT bias-based victimization, general victimization, bullying, and negative family treatment were significantly associated with suicidal ideation and/or suicide attempts. Associations of discrimination and internalized homophobia and transphobia with suicidal ideation and/or suicide attempts were not significant. No moderation effects were found for sampling strategy. Conclusion: Although overall effect sizes were small, our meta-analytic study shows a clear link between various types of minority stressors and suicidal ideation and suicide attempts among LGBT adolescents and young adults.

“…Although beyond the scope of the current study, the YRBS offers a range of variables that might be used to explore these matters in greater depth. Future investigations might examine risk factors such as substance use behaviors, sexual risk behaviors, and feeling unsafe at school (Alleyne et al, 2011; Button & Worthen, 2014; Clayton et al, 2017; Radliff et al, 2012); as well as protective factors such as access to social support (Button et al, 2012), on a national scale. In addition to employing an intersectional approach that recognizes differences within the broader categories of heterosexual and sexual minority youth, future studies might utilize a syndemic approach when exploring the effects of victimization.…”

“…More specifically, we explore the extent to which sex/gender differences in victimization, which are well established in the literature (e.g., Atteberry-Ash et al, 2020; Kann et al, 2018; Norris & Orchowski, 2020), interact with sexuality-based differences. Although numerous studies recognize increased vulnerability for victimization among sexual minority youth, only a few explore how this risk is shaped by sex/gender (e.g., Button & Worthen, 2014; D’Augelli et al, 2006; Rothman et al, 2011), and no known study has examined these interactions with nationally representative data. This aspect of our analysis is guided by intersectionality (Crenshaw, 1991; McCall, 2005).…”

Interpersonal violence is pervasive among youth in the United States. Sexual minority youth are disproportionately impacted. Utilizing data from the 2017 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBS, N = 12,868), this study describes the disparities in victimization among heterosexual and sexual minority youth. Sexual minority status was operationalized to include nonheterosexual identity (e.g., bisexual) and/or behavior (e.g., reporting same- and different-sex partners). Other predictors included sex (male/female), a sexuality*sex interaction term, age, and race/ethnicity. Outcomes included lifetime forced sexual intercourse and 12-month incidence of sexual violence, physical violence in relationships, sexual violence in relationships, in-school bullying, and cyberbullying. Approximately 15% ( n = 1,974) of participants were classified as sexual minority youth and 48% ( n = 6,213) self-identified as female. More than half (56%, n = 7,190) identified as racial and/or ethnic minorities. In bivariate logistic regression, sexual minority youth were significantly more likely to report all outcomes ( p < .001). In multivariable logistic regression, sexual minority and female youth were significantly more likely to report all outcomes ( p < .001). With the exception of physical violence in dating, sexuality*sex interaction terms were significant predictors for all outcomes ( p < .001), indicating that the risks associated with sexual minority status are heightened for male youth. This study concludes with a call for more attention toward violence among and against sexual minority youth. Although some prevention and response efforts address the unique needs and experiences of these youth, particularly antibullying initiatives, efforts to address sexual and dating violence often emphasize heterosexual contexts and communities.

“…However, internalizing responses are another potential outcome of strain in one's life, and studies have used GST to test the links between experiences of strain and substance use or selfharm rather than crime or delinquency (Carson, Sullivan, Cochran & Lersch, 2008;Hay & Meldrum, 2010;Button & Worthen, 2014;Button, 2016;Song, Wenzel & Cho, 2021). These internalizing responses deplete coping resources and increase vulnerability to broader negative outcomes, including heightened risk for victimization (Iratzoqui, 2008).…”

The effects of marginalization and multiple marginalization on intimate partner violence victimization

Vlajnic

When intimate partner violence (IPV) first began to be viewed socially and recognized legally as a crime, feminist activists and scholars were instrumental in informing the narrative around IPV as a universal phenomenon, emphasizing the possibility that it could happen to anyone. However, those marginalized by factors such as race, sex, class, and sexual orientation are more vulnerable to negative life outcomes such as IPV victimization, and individuals who are marginalized on multiple axes of identity are not only more so, but additionally vulnerable in ways that are unique to the intersections of oppression in which they live. Existing research on marginalized populations and experiences of IPV victimization tends to focus on diversity of experience within groups (such as comparing victimization of men and women or heterosexual and queer individuals of a particular racial group) or to conduct a deeper dive into a particular group's experiences (such as Black women or sexual and gender minorities of color); few studies conduct comparisons across all axes of gender, racial, socioeconomic, and sexual orientation, and even fewer are guided by a theoretical background developed specifically for marginalized populations.This dissertation uses the sociological concept of intersectionality to examine how experiences of IPV victimization differ based on locations at the intersections of marginalized identity; additionally, it incorporates the perspectives of general strain theory and minority stress to further hypothesize the indirect ways in which marginalized identity makes negative health outcomes more likely, which in turn increases risk of IPV victimization. The results suggest that marginalized individuals are more likely to experience IPV and that their experiences of IPV victimization vary based on marginalized identity; additionally, they indicate that as the perspective of minority stress predicts, experiences of strain mediate the relationship between
