“…Disability status is not commonly examined as a demographic covariate in studies investigating sexual violence, yet research demonstrates that students with disabilities experience higher rates of sexual violence (Kirkner et al, 2022; Théorêt et al, 2022). The findings in the current study may be partially explained by research that finds students with disabilities who also had a minoritized sexual identity experienced higher rates of peer victimization during childhood compared to those who did not have a minoritized sexual identity (Lund & Ross, 2021) perhaps creating an expectation for these students about how their peers would react to students who are different than themselves—including sexual violence survivors.…”

“…Responses to sexual victimization from those in the campus environment—including peer reactions—can significantly affect survivors’ recovery (Jackson et al, 2017; Sigurvinsdottir & Ullman, 2015). When survivors disclose an incident of violence, the reactions they receive (referred to as social reactions) can either facilitate or hinder recovery and trauma (Mennicke et al, 2022; Orchowski & Gidycz, 2015; Ullman, 2023). Much of the research on disclosures has been conducted with samples of white women (Harris et al, 2020; Sabina & Ho, 2014) without exploring the experience of disclosure and social reactions for students with minoritized identities.…”

Peers’ attitudes toward survivors of sexual violence can impact their willingness to disclose. Students with minoritized identities may perceive and experience their campus environments as less supportive than peers with privileged identities. The purpose of this study was to examine perceptions of anticipated peer support for sexual violence survivors, using a cross-sectional study of 2,727 students. Linear regression modeling showed significant associations between students with minoritized identities and lower scores on perceptions of anticipated peer support for survivors. There were also several important interactions between specific overlapping student identities. The findings suggest that students with minoritized identities perceive anticipated peer support less favorably than those with privileged identities.

“…Single items consisting of five-point rating scales were used to measure frequency, intensity, and duration of each of the types of incidents. High test–retest reliability has been documented for the RBQ using Spearman correlation coefficients of primary school ( r = .88) and secondary school ( r = .87) (Schäfer, 2004 ), and a Cronbach’s alpha of .912 (Lund & Ross, 2021 ). For this analysis, in line with the previous research (Schäfer, 2004 ), we used a dichotomized variable for both primary and secondary school representing whether any victimization on any subscale (physical, verbal, or indirect) occurred.…”

The present study examines whether neuroticism is predicted by genetic vulnerability, summarized as polygenic risk score for neuroticism (PRS N ), in interaction with bullying, parental bonding, and childhood adversity. Data were derived from a general population adolescent and young adult twin cohort. The final sample consisted of 202 monozygotic and 436 dizygotic twins and 319 twin pairs. The Short Eysenck Personality questionnaire was used to measure neuroticism. PRS N was trained on the results from the Genetics of Personality Consortium (GPC) and United Kingdom Biobank (UKB) cohorts, yielding two different PRS N . Multilevel mixed-effects models were used to analyze the main and interacting associations of PRS N , childhood adversity, bullying, and parental bonding style with neuroticism. We found no evidence of gene–environment correlation. PRS N thresholds of .005 and .2 were chosen, based on GPC and UKB datasets, respectively. After correction for confounders, all the individual variables were associated with the expression of neuroticism: both PRS N from GPC and UKB, childhood adversity, maternal bonding, paternal bonding, and bullying in primary school and secondary school. However, the results indicated no evidence for gene–environment interaction in this cohort. These results suggest that genetic vulnerability on the one hand and negative life events (childhood adversity and bullying) and positive life events (optimal parental bonding) on the other represent noninteracting pathways to neuroticism.

“…To our knowledge, little research on this is available. Some studies have documented abuse against LGBTQA+ young people with disability in some settings such as school and university ( Bucchianeri et al, 2016 ; King et al, 2018 ; Lund & Ross, 2021 ) and among caretakers ( Duke, 2011 ). LGBTQA+ people and those with a disability are diverse groups who may differentially experience harassment or abuse in line with other axes of inequality (e.g., age, ethnicity, area of residence etc.).…”

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, and asexual (LGBTQA+) young people with disability are known to experience higher rates of harassment or abuse than LGBTQA+ young people without disability. This study focused on participants in Australia and identified factors associated with harassment or abuse among LGBTQA+ adolescents and young adults who reported a disability as well as associations with mental health outcomes. Analyses were conducted from a national survey that included 2,500 LGBTQA+ people who reported a disability and were aged 14 to 21 years. Measures included experiences in the past 12 months of verbal and physical harassment or abuse due to one’s sexual orientation or gender identity, sexual harassment or abuse, mental health, suicidality, and sociodemographic traits. Overall, 48.4% of participants with disability reported experiencing verbal harassment or abuse, 12.4% physical harassment or abuse, and 29.7% sexual assault or harassment. In multivariable regression analyses, verbal harassment or abuse was significantly more likely among trans men, participants with an intellectual disability, and those who were “out” to most or all of their family. Physical harassment or abuse was significantly more likely among participants with a physical or sensory disability. Sexual harassment or abuse was significantly more likely among trans women and participants with a physical or sensory disability. Participants who experienced harassment or abuse were also significantly more likely to have attempted suicide in the past 12 months. These findings will assist policymakers and practitioners in identifying contexts linked to a heightened risk of abuse among LGBTQA+ young people with disability and further underscore an immediate need to address and prevent harm in this population.
