Sexual and gender minority (SGM) adolescents report higher rates of dating violence victimization compared with their heterosexual and cisgender peers. Research on dating violence often neglects diversity in sexual and gender identities and is limited to experiences in relationships. Further, given that dating violence and alcohol use are comorbid, research on experiences of dating violence could provide insights into alcohol use disparities among SGM adolescents. We aimed to map patterns of relationship experiences, sexual and physical dating violence, and sexual and physical assault and explored differences in these experiences among SGM adolescents. Further, we examined how these patterns explained alcohol use. We used a U.S. non-probability national web-based survey administered to 13–17-year-old SGM adolescents ( N = 12,534). Using latent class analyses, four patterns were identified: low relationship experience, dating violence and harassment and assault (72.0%), intermediate dating experiences, sexual harassment, and assault and low levels of dating violence (13.1%), high dating experiences, dating violence, and sexual assault (8.6%), and high dating experiences, dating violence, and sexual harassment and assault (6.3%). Compared to lesbian and gay adolescents, bisexual adolescents reported more experiences with dating, dating violence, and sexual assault, whereas heterosexual adolescents reported fewer experiences with dating, dating violence, and sexual harassment and assault. Compared to cisgender boys, cisgender girls, transgender boys, and non-binary/assigned male at birth adolescents were more likely to experience dating violence inside and outside of relationship contexts. Experiences of dating, dating violence, and sexual harassment and assault were associated with both drinking frequency and heavy episodic drinking. Together, the findings emphasize the relevance of relationship experiences when studying dating violence and how dating violence and sexual harassment and assault might explain disparities in alcohol use.

e18532 Background: Little is known about the training needs of allied health professionals who provide reproductive health counseling and other support services to sexual and gender minority (SGM) adolescent and young adult (AYA) people with cancer. Methods: A 28-item electronic survey with 4 qualitative items was distributed to 601 allied health professionals who had participated in a training focused on reproductive health needs in AYA people with cancer. Open-ended questions invited respondents to describe personal experiences, reservations, and suggestions for improving SGM AYA cancer care. Using an interpretive description methodology, two investigators independently analyzed qualitative survey responses noting thematic saturation. Together, they refined themes, resolving disagreements with consensus. Interrater reliability was 88%. Results: 321 people participated in the survey and 190 answered open-ended questions. Themes included: 1) an ecosystem exists around patients’ interactions with clinicians and institutions; 2) institutional and individual assumptions result in stigmatization of SGM AYA people with cancer; 3) accommodating patients and providing clinicians with relevant education and experiences are initial steps to decrease stigma; and 4) improving the care for SGM AYA people with cancer may require transformative approaches that incorporate intersectional frameworks and challenge current systems. Conclusions: Improving the quality of care for SGM AYA people with cancer will require systemic and institutional change as well as educational interventions.

The Impact

A national sample of 114 educators working in secondary schools in the Czech Republic participated in a mixed research online survey study. The study was conducted to assess educators’ responses to situations concerning actual and perceived sexual and gender minority (SGM) youth. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected. Educators’ responses included intervening when witnessing homo/trans-negativity as well as facilitating discussions with students in the classroom when these incidences occurred. Regression models indicated that these SGM advocacy responses (intervention and discussion) were significantly related to educators’ levels of self-efficacy. Having classroom discussions with students about incidences of SGM bullying were also found to relate to having training regarding SGM topics and feeling negative about students using homo/trans-negative slurs. Our findings suggest that training on SGM topics should be offered to educators in the Czech Republic to increase the likelihood that they follow up homo-/trans-negative language and behavior with discussions. Training regarding the latter should include reflection over the impact of one’s attitudes on their SGM advocacy behaviors. Lastly, future studies should include other educators besides teachers such as school counselors and school psychologists who are also uniquely positioned to advocate for SGM youth in Czech schools.
