项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Intimate partner violence (IPV) is recognized widely by public health professionals as a severe problem with the potential to produce a broad range of negative consequences: however, most academic studies of IPV have focused on male-to-female violence, and research efforts currently focus on the prevention of violence in heterosexual relationships. However, there is a growing body of evidence to suggest that there are substantial levels of IPV in same-sex relationships. Despite considerable increase in feminist and LGBT scholarship over the past two decades, same-gender violence has not been adequately addressed, particularly in male couples. A small number of studies have suggested that the prevalence of IPV among same-sex couples in the US is similar to that seen in heterosexual couples. Existing studies of IPV among same-sex couples have a number of methodological challenges. The majority has focused on lesbians, often to the exclusion of gay and bisexual men and the recruitment of LGBT individuals into studies of IPV has posed a challenge to researchers, due primarily to perceived difficulties in disclosing sexual orientation; as such many previous studies have used convenience samples recruited through LGBT venues and publications. The proposed research aims to examine the typologies of IPV that occur in same-sex male relationships, to examine the relationship between IPV and sexual risk-taking in same-sex male relationships, and to identify how the experience of IPV is influenced by the composition of gay men's social networks and individual social context. The research is conducted in Atlanta, GA, a city with a considerable population of gay and bisexual men. The proposed research involves two stages. The first will use focus group discussions to identify the forms of IPV that occur in same-sex male relationships, and to examine perceived links between IPV and sexual risk-taking. The second will involve a survey of 1000 self-identifying gay and bisexual men in Atlanta, GA. The survey will collect data on the experience and perpetration of violence, experience of racism and homophobia and composition of social networks. Analysis will focus on factors associated with experience/ perpetration of violence, and the link between violence and non-use of condoms. This new information has the potential to add significantly to our understanding of IPV in an under-research population, and to inform the development of interventions to reduce both IPV and HIV transmission in the US. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Qualitative and quantitative data will be collected from a sample of gay and bisexual men in Atlanta, GA to examine the forms of intimate partner violence that occur in same-sex male relationships. Analysis will examine how social networks and social context shape the experience of intimate partner violence in same-sex male relationships.

描述（由申请人提供）：公共卫生专业人员广泛认为亲密伴侣暴力 (IPV) 是一个严重问题，有可能产生广泛的负面后果：然而，大多数 IPV 学术研究都集中在男性对女性的暴力上。女性暴力，目前的研究工作重点是预防异性关系中的暴力。然而，越来越多的证据表明，同性关系中存在大量的 IPV。尽管过去二十年女权主义和 LGBT 学术研究有了相当大的增长，但同性暴力问题尚未得到充分解决，特别是在男性夫妇中。少数研究表明，美国同性伴侣中 IPV 的流行率与异性伴侣中相似。现有的同性伴侣 IPV 研究存在许多方法论挑战。大多数研究都集中在女同性恋者身上，往往排除男同性恋和双性恋男性，招募 LGBT 个体参与 IPV 研究对研究人员构成了挑战，主要是因为人们认为披露性取向有困难；因此，之前的许多研究都使用了通过 LGBT 场所和出版物收集的便利样本。拟议的研究旨在研究同性男性关系中发生的 IPV 类型，研究 IPV 与同性男性关系中性冒险之间的关系，并确定 IPV 的体验如何受到成分的影响。男同性恋者的社交网络和个人社会背景。这项研究是在佐治亚州亚特兰大进行的，该城市拥有大量同性恋和双性恋男性。拟议的研究涉及两个阶段。第一个将利用焦点小组讨论来确定同性男性关系中发生的 IPV 形式，并检查 IPV 与性冒险之间的感知联系。第二个项目将涉及对佐治亚州亚特兰大市 1000 名自我认同为同性恋和双性恋的男性进行调查。该调查将收集有关暴力经历和实施、种族主义和恐同症经历以及社交网络构成的数据。分析将重点关注与暴力经历/实施相关的因素，以及暴力与不使用安全套之间的联系。这一新信息有可能显着增进我们对正在研究的人群中 IPV 的了解，并为减少美国 IPV 和 HIV 传播的干预措施的制定提供信息。公共卫生相关性：将从佐治亚州亚特兰大的同性恋和双性恋男性样本中收集定性和定量数据，以研究同性男性关系中发生的亲密伴侣暴力形式。分析将探讨社交网络和社会环境如何影响同性男性关系中亲密伴侣暴力的经历。
