Identifying demographics of high risk male and LGBTQ+ survivors of domestic abuse from acute London hospital referrals - case review.
Jo SmithEmily BakerEleanor HepworthG J Melendez-TorresRachel NicholasCharlotte E CohenPublished in: International journal of STD & AIDS (2022)
Our trust reports a high rate of male and LGBTQ+ high-risk DA referrals, and amongst these there is a high rate of intersecting disadvantages and risk factors. This underlines a need for inclusivity for marginalised groups, inbuilt into domestic abuse health responses. The high rate of disclosure during routine enquiry for domestic abuse supports the use of DA routine enquiry in sexual health settings, and points towards the utility of selective enquiry in other settings (for example, heterosexual males presenting with injuries to emergency departments). We hope that by working with a specialised LGBTQ+ IDVA, we will improve both prompt identification and better outcomes for more GSM patients.
