Allison Worsdale; Kami Kosenko – American Journal of Sexuality Education, 2024
Due to a lack of research on sexual consent in sexual minority communities, we know little about how and what individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, or bisexual (LGB) learn about consent. To this end, a convenience sample of 25 LGB adults (N = 25) was interviewed about the factors that have shaped their perceptions and approaches to sexual…

Background: Research is lacking on body-related consequences of sexual abuse in adults with mild intellectual disability or borderline intellectual functioning (MID-BIF), although the prevalence of abuse is high and body- and movement-oriented diagnostics and therapeutics seem warranted for this group.

Zhu, Na; Hakim-Larson, Julie – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2022
There is ongoing debate on whether adults' narratives of trauma memories are similarly or less coherent than those of non-trauma memories. For child maltreatment, relevant studies have focused on child/adolescent narratives rather than adult narratives of sexual abuse and found that these narratives were less coherent than non-abuse narratives.…

Sarah Douglas; Felicity Sedgewick – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2024
Intimate partner violence and sexual assault are under-researched experiences in autistic people's lives. Recent research, however, has shown that autistic people are more likely to have been victimized than non-autistic people. This research, therefore, sought to explore the firsthand accounts of a range of autistic people about intimate partner…

Arvid Nikolai Kildahl; Sissel Berge Helverschou – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2024
Autistic people appear to be at increased risk of post-traumatic stress disorder, and experiences involving violence or sexual abuse appear to be common in this population. However, knowledge concerning trauma in autistic people with co-occurring intellectual disabilities is limited. In this cross-sectional study, we explored the prevalence of…

Hackett, Chelsea; Boyd, Ellory; Osnes, Beth; Fahmy, Sarah; Simmons, NyaJoy – Sex Education: Sexuality, Society and Learning, 2023
In this article, we propose that using student-centred pedagogical approaches and engaging in the possibly controversial practice of educator self-disclosure may engender spaces in which educators, researchers and students can engage with the pressing question of sexual violence prevention together and, in particular, how can we keep each other…

Here we investigate the nature and impact…
