“…More boys from Bulgaria (5.2%) reported dating same‐gender partners than in any other country (ranging from 0.2% in Switzerland to 1.2% in Belgium, French‐speaking). In a large‐sample U.S. study, 0.83% of youths reported being exclusively in same‐gender relationships in the past 18 months (Halpern, Young, Waller, Martin, & Kupper, 2004), which is similar to our findings.…”

Sexual orientation is a multidimensional phenomenon, which includes identity, behavior, and attraction. The attraction component, however, is less studied than the other two. In this article, we present the development of a two‐item measure to identify adolescents who prefer same‐ and both‐gender partners for love and dating. The questions were administered to nationally representative samples of 15‐year‐old adolescents in eight European countries and regions participating in the Health Behaviour in School‐aged Children (HBSC) cross‐national study. The distribution of attraction, as operationalized by preference for the gender of love and dating partners, was similar across countries. These questions offer an alternative or supplementary approach to identify same‐ and both‐gender attracted youth, without administering questions related to sexual identity.

“…Alexander (2002) also notes that research on gay and lesbian mental health issues is frequently based on small sample sizes, making it difficult to apply results to a broader group and difficult to replicate study findings. Many researchers studying SSIPV have relied solely on convenience samples (Balsam, Rothblum, & Beauchaine, 2005;Halpern, Young, Waller, Martin, & Kupper, 2004), thereby rendering the findings impossible to generalize beyond study participants. Typical participant recruitment strategies used by SSIPV researchers involve recruiting through LGBT publications, community-based organizations, and public events (Halpern et al, 2004).…”

“…Many researchers studying SSIPV have relied solely on convenience samples (Balsam, Rothblum, & Beauchaine, 2005;Halpern, Young, Waller, Martin, & Kupper, 2004), thereby rendering the findings impossible to generalize beyond study participants. Typical participant recruitment strategies used by SSIPV researchers involve recruiting through LGBT publications, community-based organizations, and public events (Halpern et al, 2004). Facing the impossibility of a truly random sample, researchers who study SSIPV and same-sex intimate relationships in general are faced with the unique challenge of developing alternative strategies to obtain samples that will maximize the similarity of the samples they obtain to the populations they wish to study.…”

“…Researchers studying SSIPV must be aware of the potential for biasing the results of the study toward the experiences of partners within the same relationship if these partners are not linked in the data analyses (L. K. Burke & Follingstad, 1999). This issue becomes particularly important in light of the trend for study samples to be recruited through convenience sampling methods, often including recruitment through LGBT-focused community organizations or events (Halpern et al, 2004). Partners within relationships may belong to the same organizations and attend events together, thereby increasing the likelihood that both partners will be recruited into study samples.…”

TABLES 1 AND 2 CAN BE FOUND AT THE END OF THE ARTICLE Abstract:This article presents a systematic review of empirical research examining intimate partner violence among same-sex couples. Seventeen studies that met the inclusion criteria were rated using a 15-item evaluation questionnaire. The results indicated that the existing body of research examining same-sex intimate partner violence demonstrates some common methodological strengths and limitations. The authors conclude with a list of recommendations for future research based on the results of this study. Article:Same-sex intimate partner violence (SSIPV) describes acts of physical, psychological, and emotional, and sexual abuse that occur between two intimate partners of the same sex or gender (Murray, Mobley, Buford, & Seaman-DeJohn, 2007). Rates of SSIPV are comparable to rates of heterosexual domestic violence, with approximately one quarter to one half of all same-sex intimate relationships demonstrating abusive dynamics (Alexander, 2002;T. W. Burke, Jordan, & Owen, 2002;McClennen, 2005;Pitt, 2000). The consequences of SSIPV can be severe and affect the involved individuals in many areas of their lives-including their physical and mental health, extended family relationships, social support networks, occupational functioning, and financial well being. SSIPV is therefore a significant issue facing the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) population.To date, a limited body of research exists examining the prevalence, dynamics, and consequences of SSIPV. Previous researchers studying the issue have acknowledged significant limitations within the existing research that reduce its usefulness and generalizability, as will be discussed in the review of the literature section. The purpose of the study described in this article was to conduct a systematic evaluation of recent empirical research examining SSIPV. We sought to determine the strengths and weaknesses of this growing body of research in order to define the current state of research examining SSIPV. In addition, we aimed to develop directions for future research based on the needs demonstrated within the existing literature. We recognize the challenges inherent to studying an issue that is as shrouded in silence as SSIPV; therefore, the intent of this study is not to disparage previous researchers and their scholarly endeavors, but rather to provide a solid foundation for stronger research to aid in the understanding of this complex issue.To that end, we reviewed 17 empirical studies examining SSIPV that appeared in the scholarly literature between January 1995 and July 2006. We located studies through an extensive search of databases in relevant academic disciplines. We then conducted a systematic review of the methodologies used in those studies. For this review, we adapted the methodological review strategies used in two previous studies: the review of family preservation program research by Heneghan, Horwitz, and Leventhal (1996) and the review of heterosexual intimate partner violence p...
