Many college students who have been victimized develop negative physical or mental health effects, for which they need help or information to manage or resolve, yet, they may be faced with barriers to seeking information or services. These barriers are likely exacerbated and/or different for LGBTQ+ students. Few studies have examined help-seeking among LGBTQ+ college students, and there is a dearth of research exploring information-interest, such as wanting information on violence prevention as it relates to gender and sexual identity, and how victimization may differentially impact this form of help-seeking. Thus, the current study fills this gap by exploring how being interested in, receiving, and being interested in but not receiving sexual assault/relationship and violence prevention information differ across sexual and gender identity and whether being a nonheterosexual or transgender/nonbinary+ victim influences these behaviors. Findings show that nonheterosexual and transgender/nonbinary+ college students have greater interest in receiving information. At the multivariable level, violence prevention information models suggest similar effects across gender and sexual identity. In models examining sexual assault/relationship violence prevention, the effect of sexual victimization on interest in receiving information is strongest for nonheterosexual students, but heterosexual students who have been sexually victimized had the highest probability of being interested in but not receiving information. The effect of intimate partner violence victimization on receiving information is slightly stronger for heterosexual students. In light of these findings, it may be beneficial for colleges/universities to provide additional trainings/information focused on general violence prevention and to work toward implementing training modules and information in less heteronormative ways.

大学生的受害和信息兴趣与接收：性和性别认同的比较探索

许多受害的大学生对身体或心理健康产生负面影响，为此他们需要帮助或信息来管理或解决，然而，他们可能面临寻求信息或服务的障碍。对于 LGBTQ+ 学生，这些障碍可能会加剧和/或有所不同。很少有研究调查 LGBTQ+ 大学生的求助情况，也缺乏探索信息兴趣的研究，例如需要有关性别和性认同的暴力预防信息，以及受害如何对这种形式的帮助产生不同的影响-寻求。因此，当前的研究通过探索如何对、接受、对性侵犯/关系和暴力预防信息感兴趣但不接收的信息因性和性别认同而异，无论是非异性恋还是跨性别/非二元性+受害者都会影响这些行为。调查结果表明，非异性恋和变性/非二元性+大学生对接收信息更有兴趣。在多变量层面，暴力预防信息模型表明在性别和性认同方面具有相似的效果。在检查性侵犯/关系暴力预防的模型中，性受害对非异性恋学生接收信息兴趣的影响最强，但遭受性受害的异性恋学生对信息感兴趣但不接收信息的可能性最大。对于异性恋学生来说，亲密伴侣暴力受害对接收信息的影响略强。鉴于这些发现，学院/大学提供额外的培训/信息，重点关注一般暴力预防，并努力以较少的异规范方式实施培训模块和信息，这可能是有益的。
