Note. CI = confidence interval; OR = odds ratio. Outcome is whether any violent victimization occurred during the 6-month recall period based on pooled 2017–2018 National Crime Victimization Survey data. Models controlled for interview bounding, type of interview, number of previous interviews, and missing responses on sexual orientation (results not shown).
