Abstract

Marginalized groups (including people of Color and sexual minorities) have been over-policed and specifically targeted based on their race/ethnicity and identity. The deleterious effects of over-policing marginalized groups include overrepresentation in the carceral system, experiencing higher rates of violence from police, and extend to affect mental health and stress levels. This study examines police-related stress among a U.S. national cohort of gay and bisexual men (collected in late 2020 and early 2021) and its association with race/ethnicity, age, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) status, income, and other characteristics of interest. Our results show that the odds of reporting extreme police-related stress were 2.7 (95% confidence interval [CI] [2.08, 3.41]) times higher for Black individuals than for their White counterparts. Odds were also significantly greater for those who have experienced race-based (odds ratio [OR] = 2.26, 95% CI [1.81–2.82] or identity-based discrimination (OR = 2.05, 95% CI [1.66, 2.54]). Our findings demonstrate variation in police-related stress among a cohort of gay and bisexual men; with men of Color and low-income men among the most affected by police-related stress. For this population, police-related stress should be considered for its potential deleterious effect on HIV vulnerability and reporting violent crimes to police (including intimate partner violence and hate crimes).

美国全国同性恋和双性恋男性群体中与警察有关的压力经历。
边缘化群体(包括有色人种和性少数群体)受到过度监管,并因其种族/族裔和身份而成为特定目标。过度监管边缘化群体的有害影响包括尸体系统中的代表性过高,遭受警察暴力的比率更高,并影响心理健康和压力水平。这项研究调查了美国全国同性恋和双性恋男性队列(收集于2020年末和2021年初)中与警察相关的压力及其与种族/民族、年龄、人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)状况、收入和其他感兴趣特征的关系。我们的研究结果表明,黑人报告与警察有关的极端压力的几率是白人的2.7倍(95%置信区间[CI][2.08,3.41])。那些经历过基于种族的经历的人的赔率也明显更高(赔率[OR] = 2.26,95%置信区间[1.81-2.82]或基于身份的歧视(or = 2.05,95%CI[1.66,2.54])。我们的研究结果表明,在一组同性恋和双性恋男性中,警察相关压力的变化;有色人种男性和低收入男性受警察相关压力的影响最大。对于这一人群,应考虑到与警察有关的压力对艾滋病毒脆弱性的潜在有害影响,并向警方报告暴力犯罪(包括亲密伴侣暴力和仇恨犯罪)。
