Area of Science:

  • Social Sciences
  • Public Health
  • Gender Studies

Background:

  • Intimate partner violence (IPV) disproportionately affects transgender individuals.
  • Research on help-seeking behaviors and resource utilization among transgender IPV survivors in the U.S. is limited.
  • Understanding barriers and facilitators to help-seeking is crucial for improving support systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine help-seeking attitudes and behaviors of transgender and cisgender sexual minority adults experiencing IPV.
  • To identify patterns of utilization and perceptions of formal and informal help-giving resources (HGRs) among transgender survivors.
  • To explore differences in perceived helpfulness of HGRs and willingness to disclose future IPV.

Main Methods:

  • A convenience sample of 92 transgender and 325 cisgender sexual minority adults in the U.S. completed an online questionnaire.
  • Data were analyzed to compare help-seeking rates, resource utilization, and perceptions between transgender and cisgender survivors.
  • Statistical analyses were used to identify significant differences.

Main Results:

  • Transgender survivors experiencing IPV reported higher help-seeking rates (84.1%) compared to cisgender survivors (67.1%).
  • Friends were the most common source of help for transgender survivors (76.7%), followed by mental health providers (39.5%) and family (30.2%).
  • Formal HGRs like police and shelters were underutilized; IPV survivors perceived formal resources less positively and were less willing to disclose future IPV to family.

Conclusions:

  • Friends serve as a primary support for transgender IPV survivors, highlighting the need for adapted bystander intervention training.
  • Formal help-giving resources are underutilized and perceived negatively by transgender survivors, necessitating tailored services and provider training.
  • Future research should focus on larger, representative samples to validate findings and inform culturally competent interventions.
