“…First, affirming interventions that reduce deleterious health outcomes associated with ACEs are needed (Hughes et al, 2017). Although such efforts should target college students, there is also a need to address negative internalized beliefs and early signs of adverse coping strategies among youth who have experienced ACEs before they enter college (Edwards et al, 2020). Moreover, LGBTQ+ students need access to counseling and programming specifically aimed at addressing alcohol use and internalized homonegativity as well as early traumatic experiences.…”

“…Moreover, LGBTQ+ students need access to counseling and programming specifically aimed at addressing alcohol use and internalized homonegativity as well as early traumatic experiences. Intervention and risk reduction efforts that do not address these issues are unlikely to be effective in reducing risk for future sexual assault among LGBTQ+ college students (Edwards et al, 2020). Indeed, research suggests that bystander-focused prevention programs for sexual assault do not work for sexual minority youth, although they work for heterosexual youth (Coker et al, 2020; Waterman et al, 2021).…”

“…It must be noted that perpetrators are always responsible for sexual violence, regardless of the behavior of those who are victimized. However, understanding risks for victimization stemming from ACEs is vital for informing risk reduction efforts (Orchowski et al, 2018), including those developed for LGBTQ+ college students (Edwards et al, 2020).…”

Despite alarming rates of sexual assault on college campuses, little research has examined risk factors for sexual victimization among LGBTQ+ college students. This exploratory study aims to examine adolescent sexual assault, internalized homonegativity, and problematic alcohol use as mediators linking several types of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs; i.e., childhood sexual abuse, parental abuse, and household disorder) to collegiate sexual assault. Utilizing data from 241 LGBTQ+ college students, path analysis findings demonstrated that these proposed mediators increased risk for sexual assault and that various types of ACEs exerted differential impacts on sexual re-victimization, internalized homonegativity, and problematic alcohol use. Practice-based implications are offered, including the need for affirming programming that includes problem drinking prevention components and considers the role of ACEs and internalized homonegativity in increasing risk for sexual assault during college as well as the need for LGBTQ+ resource centers on campus.

“…This article is intended solely for the personal use of the individual user and is not to be disseminated broadly. need for tailored programs that address proximal experiences for minority stress (Edwards et al, 2020). Regarding policy implications, college campuses should create inclusive and safe campus environments for LGBQ+ college students and institute policies that reduce structural sexual stigma, which likely lead to enhanced proximal stressors that may in turn impact S-IPV.…”

Objective: The purpose of the present study was to assess distal (i.e., stigma consciousness) and proximal (i.e., internalized homophobia, identity concealment) minority stressors as predictors of sexual intimate partner violence (S-IPV) victimization and perpetration among LGBQ+ U.S. college students, as well as the extent to which hazardous alcohol use and social support moderated these relationships. Method: A crosssectional research design was utilized in a sample of LGBQ+ U.S. college students (n = 1,221) across 20 institutions of higher education who completed an online survey. Structural equation modeling with moderation was used to evaluate if the association between minority stressors and S-IPV victimization and perpetration were moderated by hazardous alcohol use and social support. Results: Social support was unrelated to both S-IPV victimization and perpetration. Hazardous alcohol use was related to S-IPV victimization, but not S-IPV perpetration. Whereas minority stress had a direct effect on S-IPV victimization, there were no direct effects of minority stress on S-IPV perpetration. However, at higher levels of hazardous drinking, indicators of minority stress were related to both S-IPV victimization and perpetration. Conversely, at lower levels of hazardous drinking, minority stress was unrelated to S-IPV victimization and perpetration. Conclusion: S-IPV prevention efforts for LGBQ+ college students should focus on reducing minority stress and hazardous drinking. Future research is also needed to identify additional factors, not measured in the present study, that increase the risk for S-IPV among LGBQ+ college students.

“…Heightened rates of dating violence and adverse outcomes have prompted calls for increased research on preventing SGM dating violence (e.g., Reuter & Whitton, 2018; Shorey et al, 2019b). However, there are currently no evidence‐based dating violence prevention programs for SGM adolescents (Edwards, Shorey, & Glozier, 2020). Efficacious programs tested with primarily heterosexual, cisgender populations (see De La Rue, Polanin, Espelage, & Pigott, 2017 for review) fail to address the unique experiences of SGM adolescents, such as the impact of minority stress on dating violence or manifestations of dating violence specific to SGM populations (Woulfe & Goodman, 2018).…”

Introduction: Despite the prevalence and negative consequences of dating violence among sexual and gender minority (SGM) adolescents, few prevention programs address dating violence for these groups. We describe the adaptation of the evidence-based Safe Dates dating violence prevention program to be inclusive of SGM adolescents and the outcome of a pilot trial of the expanded curriculum implemented in mixed settings serving both SGM and cisgender, heterosexual youth. Methods: Following a published framework of curriculum adaptation, we gathered information on SGM adolescents' needs and adapted Safe Dates materials to address SGM-speciic risk factors for, and manifestations of, dating violence. We piloted the adapted program in 11 US schools and organizations serving SGM and cisgender, heterosexual youth (N = 156). The average age of participants was 15.11 years (SD = 2.76) at baseline. Participants were diverse with respect to race/ethnicity (26% Black/African American, 24% Hispanic/Latino, 21% White, 7% American Indian/Native Alaskan, 5% Asian/Paciic Islander), gender (56% female), and SGM status (35% SGM). Multi-level models measured change in scores on a written measure of dating violence knowledge from pre-test to post-test. Results: Dating violence knowledge increased signiicantly. Improvements did not differ by gender (female-identiied versus not female-identiied) or SGM status. Conclusions: Results support initial feasibility and eficacy of dating violence prevention programs that include both SGM and cisgender, heterosexual adolescents. The program normalizes diverse SGM identities and encourages participation of youth who are questioning or choosing not to disclose their gender or sexual identities. Larger-scale research should examine effects on dating violence experiences.
