摘要

Sexual minority young adults have a higher lifetime prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) than the general population. Minority stress theory asserts that those with marginalized identities, such as a minoritized sexual identity, are at higher risk for negative outcomes such as PTSD. The current study examined the ACEs and IPV victimization (physical, psychological, and sexual) as predictors of PTSD symptoms in a sample of sexual minority young adults in dating relationships (N = 342; aged 18–25). Multiple regression analyses showed that both ACEs and psychological IPV victimization were positively and significantly associated with PTSD symptoms. However, physical and sexual IPV victimization were not associated with PTSD symptoms. These results emphasize the importance of ACEs screening and IPV screening as a potential method to identify those at risk for PTSD and implement early intervention.
