abstract="Domestic violence (DV) is a significant public health issue. Prevalence rates for same-sex DV (SSDV) vary due to methodological issues related to recruitment and definitions of sexual orientation, but are currently considered to be similar to slightly greater than other-sex (OSDV) rates. Research has identified differences between SSDV and OSDV, including internalized and externalized stressors associated with being a sexual minority that interact with DV to create or exacerbate vulnerabilities, higher risk for complex trauma experiences, and difficulties accessing services. This review provides a critical review of the literature, focusing upon empirical findings regarding SSDV.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
