Sexually Victimized

Adolescent sexual and physical victimization is an issue of serious social concern in our society. This study examines the predictors of whether juveniles tell about these experiences. We specifically question whether the adolescents’ lifestyles inhibit victims from telling anyone about the assault and determine if such predictors vary by sex. Using data from the National Survey of Adolescents, we find that the victims’ lifestyles do predict help-seeking but that the importance of these measures varies by the type of victimization and the sex of the adolescent. Lifestyles influence reporting the event more consistently for victims of sexual assaults than physical assaults. In addition, while several lifestyle measures are significant for sexually victimized girls, the context of the event is more important for boys who are sexually victimized. Aspects of the adolescents’ lifestyles are not as important for telling about physical victimization.

Hearing Health

Musicians’ hearing has received increased attention due to the rising prevalence of hearing loss among general and musical populations. This paper reports results of a national survey exploring professional musicians’ awareness of, and perceptions surrounding, their hearing health, and associated help-seeking behavior including attitudes towards hearing protection. Professional musicians ( N = 693) took part, the majority being orchestral or instrumental musicians. Forty percent of the sample had experienced hearing loss or other hearing issues and many attributed hearing problems to their musical careers. Fifty percent of the musicians were worried about noise at work; however, less than a third had taken a hearing test. Reasons for having a test included subsidized tests and experiencing symptoms of hearing loss or tinnitus, while reasons for not having a test included a lack of awareness about options. Data revealed an on-going tension between a concern to protect hearing and the perceived negative outcomes of wearing protection during musical performance, and highlighted the need for more in-depth research into the experiences of musicians in high-risk instrumental groups (e.g., amplified/band musicians, brass, percussion). Providing advice to musicians about the risks of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) prior to experiencing symptoms of hearing loss or tinnitus will support improved protection behavior.

ObjectivesQuantify non-attendance at sexual health clinics and explore help-seeking strategies for genitourinary symptoms.DesignSequential mixed methods using survey data and semistructured interviews.SettingGeneral population in Britain.Participants1403 participants (1182 women) from Britain’s Third National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles (Natsal-3; undertaken 2010–2012), aged 16–44 years who experienced specific genitourinary symptoms (past 4 weeks), of whom 27 (16 women) who reported they had never attended a sexual health clinic also participated in semistructured interviews, conducted May 2014–March 2015.Primary and secondary outcome measuresFrom survey data, non-attendance at sexual health clinic (past year) and preferred service for STI care; semistructured interview domains were STI social representations, symptom experiences, help-seeking responses and STI stigma.ResultsMost women (85.9% (95% CI 83.7 to 87.9)) and men (87.6% (95% CI 82.3 to 91.5)) who reported genitourinary symptoms in Natsal-3 had not attended a sexual health clinic in the past year. Around half of these participants cited general practice (GP) as their preferred hypothetical service for STI care (women: 58.5% (95% CI 55.2% to 61.6%); men: 54.3% (95% CI 47.1% to 61.3%)). Semistructured interviews elucidated four main responses to symptoms: not seeking healthcare, seeking information to self-diagnose and self-treat, seeking care at non-specialist services and seeking care at sexual health clinics. Collectively, responses suggested individuals sought to gain control over their symptoms, and they prioritised emotional reassurance over accessing medical expertise. Integrating survey and interview data strengthened the evidence that participants preferred their general practitioner for STI care and extended understanding of help-seeking strategies.ConclusionsHelp-seeking is important to access appropriate healthcare for genitourinary symptoms. Most participants did not attend a sexual health clinic but sought help from other sources. This study supports current service provision options in Britain, facilitating individual autonomy about where to seek help.
