Abstract:
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a global public health problem that disproportionately affects sexual and gender minoritized (SGM) people. This disparity is rooted in the systematic, stigma-based oppression of SGM people. The etiology of IPV perpetration in SGM communities must account for both (1) population-specific factors, which stem from societal stigma or SGM-specific resilience, and (2) universal factors, which reflect risk and protective factors that are common across all intimate relationships. We review an integrative theoretical framework that accounts for these complexities and elucidates putative transdiagnostic mechanisms through which these factors influence IPV perpetration risk. This etiological framework has potential to catalyze future research that seeks to inform the development of affirming IPV prevention initiatives for SGM people.
