Abstract

The purpose of this study of physical intimate partner violence (IPV) among college students was to compare re-victimization rates between sexual minority and heterosexual students and to describe their help-seeking behavior. Sexual minority students who reported previous physical IPV victimization at baseline were at heightened risk for re-victimization during the course of this yearlong study. Sexual minority students more often sought help from formal sources of help (e.g., college counselors) than informal ones (e.g., friends and family) following physical IPV victimization. These findings highlight the importance of increasing access to social services tailored to the needs of this at-risk population.
