“…First, the data does not account for students not enrolled or attending school. Second, underreporting of physical, sexual IPV, suicidal ideation or identifying as SM youth may have occurred, particularly among males [57][58][59][60][61]. Third, we were unable to include youth who identified as transgender as this data was not collected in the 2017 YRBS.…”

Sexual minority (SM) youth are at high risk for intimate partner violence (IPV) and suicidal ideation/attempts compared to their heterosexual peers. We examined whether SM identity enhanced the relationship between experiences of IPV and suicidal ideation/attempts. Weighted logistic regression models were run using the 2017 Youth Risk Behavior Survey. All main effects were significant; each SM identity and both physical and sexual IPV were significantly associated with suicidal ideation and suicide attempts. The interaction between bisexual identity and physical IPV was significant for suicidal ideation; as physical IPV experiences increased, the difference between bisexual identity and heterosexual youth was non-significant. Findings suggest exploring trauma and suicidal ideation by aggregate groups and increasing support for SM youth in schools and communities.

“…Inadequate recognition of sexual violence and its various forms, by youth, investigators, and practitioners, may have several implications. Girls may be ambivalent to disclose because of doubts about the severity of violence they have experienced, which can increase feelings of isolation (Sabina & Ho, 2014; Weisz, Tolman, Callahan, Saunders, & Black, 2007) and impair help-seeking strategies regarding sexual DV (Fernet, Hébert, Couture & Brodeur, 2019).…”

“…The present analysis focuses on sexual dating violence. Data related to help-seeking and sexual DV were published elsewhere (Fernet, Hébert, Couture & Brodeur, 2019). Direct content analysis (Hsieh & Shannon, 2005) was then performed based on the Bagwell-Gray and colleague’s taxonomy presented previously (See Table 1).…”

Sexual dating violence (DV) is highly prevalent and associated with deleterious outcomes. Unfortunately, this form of violence remains poorly understood. Furthermore, the measures used to assess sexual DV may not account for the various manifestations of sexual DV, which limits our understanding of this problem. This study aimed to (a) explore how girls and young women describe their experiences of sexual DV and (b) explore whether the taxonomy on intimate partner sexual violence developed by Bagwell-Gray and colleagues could be applicable to girls and young women’s experiences of sexual DV. A total of 71 adolescent girls and young women who identified themselves as heterosexual were recruited. Sexual DV was assessed using an adapted version of the Sexual Experiences Survey, followed by a semistructured interview. Findings revealed that 29.6% of participants reported sexual DV victimization in the past 12 months. A direct content analysis was performed based on the taxonomy of Bagwell-Gray and colleagues. Four manifestations of sexual DV were illustrated from the youth’s narratives: (a) sexual coercion, (b) sexual assault, (c) sexual abuse, and (d) forced sexual activities. Our results underscore the ambiguity of sexual consent and definition of sexual DV among adolescent girls and young women. This research further supports the necessity to develop and implement prevention programs that specifically target sexual DV in this population.

“…In the last decade, the growing concern about sexual and gender violence among adolescents has promoted greater attention by the international scientific community on the factors that influence its causality (Fernet et al, 2019). In this sense, several studies show the great importance of the interactions of boys and girls with people in their environment (peers, relatives, educational staff, etc.)…”

Nowadays sexual violence among adolescents continues to be detected in schools. In this sense, several studies show the great importance of the interactions of boys and girls with people in their educational environment to configure their emotional and sexual identity, their beliefs about violence, and their relationship with sexual violence, being necessary to identify the actions that prevent sexual violence at schools. In the current article, and according to the literature review, a model based on structural equations is proposed to analyze the influence of students’ relationships with one another, with the educational community (at the center, with faculty, staff, other workers), and families’ relationships with the center as well as adolescents’ own beliefs related to gender violence on being a victim, bystander, or aggressor of behaviors related to sexual violence in a sample of 4,273 Spanish students in secondary education. This model is replicated for only women ( n = 2,022) and only men ( n = 2,038). The results show that positive relationships are a protective factor against involvement in situations of sexual aggression, and they influence the acquisition of transformative beliefs regarding models of attraction and nonviolence. In turn, these beliefs even more obviously affect the prevention of this type of violence.
