Associations between Local and State Structural Stigma, Minority stress, and Mental Health in a Nationwide Sample of Sexual Minority Adolescents
Structural stigma, which includes policies and attitudes that mark minorities for discrimination, contributes to sexual minority adolescents’ (SMA) stress and mental health disparities, yet the relative contributions of county- vs. state-level stigma remain unknown. This study examined how structural stigma affects SMA exposure to minority stress and mental health symptoms with a U.S. national sample of SMA ( N = 2,558, ages 14-17, M = 15.9), of …

Development of a Measure of Family Functioning for Hispanic Sexual Minority Adolescents: A Study Protocol for Measure Development
Sexual minority adolescents (SMA) in general, and Hispanic sexual minority adolescents (HSMA) in particular, report higher levels of substance use, HIV risk behaviors, and mental health problems, compared to their non-Hispanic White heterosexual and sexual minority peers. These outcomes are more prominent for SMA and HSMA who have parents that are unaccepting of their youth's sexual orientation. A lack of parental acceptance of sexual orientation…
It’s time for change: Inequities and determinants of health-related quality of life among gender and sexually diverse young people in Australia
Evidence-based public health policy responses are required to address the dire HR-QoL inequities among LGBTQA2S+ young people, particularly trans young people. Prioritising the promotion of school- and family-based interventions which foster LGBTQA2S+ inclusivity, acceptance, and a sense of belonging from early adolescence through young adulthood, represents a feasible, evidence-based, and cost-effective response to address these HR-QoL dispariti…
Development and preliminary validation of the Sexual Minority Adolescent Stress Inventory-Short Form
This study developed a comprehensive short form of the Sexual Minority Adolescent Stress Inventory (SMASI-SF) that preserves its strong psychometric properties and relationships with key mental and behavioral health outcomes. Split-sampling was used to construct independent development (Sample A; n = 1,155) and validation (Sample B; n = 1,155) samples from a national cohort of 2,310 sexual minority adolescents aged 14-17. Short-form candidate ite…
A proposed taxonomy for categorizing sexual identities in adolescence
Assessing adolescent sexual identity is complicated, and contemporary sexual identities are gaining greater complexity and variation. However, current measures do not capture the diversity of contemporary identities among adolescents. Thus, our study utilized a large national dataset of sexual minority adolescents aged 14-17 years ( N = 2,558) in the United States to propose a taxonomy of sexual identities among adolescents. Participants responde…

Recruitment procedures included both venue-based (n = 68) and GSNA-based probabil…
Correcting a False Research Narrative: A Commentary on Sullins (2022)
Explaining behavioral health differences in urban and rural sexual minority adolescents: A longitudinal investigation of minority stress in a diverse national sample of sexual minority adolescents
PURPOSE: Experiences of sexuality-based discrimination (ie, minority stressors) against youth who identify as nonheterosexual (ie, sexual minority) have been associated with increased symptoms of anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) for sexual minority adolescents (SMA; ages 14-17). However, little is known about the experiences of SMA living in rural communities across the United States. Thus, the present study sought t…
Development and Validation of the Military Minority Stress Scale
Despite affecting nearly 3% of active-duty service members, little is known about how LGBT-related stress experiences may relate to health outcomes. Thus, the present study sought to create a Military Minority Stress Scale and assess its initial reliability and construct validity in a cross-sectional study of active-duty LGBT service members ( N = 248). Associations between 47 candidate items and health outcomes of interest were analyzed to retai…

An Integrated Conceptual Model to Understand Suicidality among Queer Youth to Inform Suicide Prevention
In this article, we apply and combine elements from four theoretical frameworks (i.e., Minority Stress Theory, Person-in-Environment and Risk and Resilience Framework, Interpersonal-Psychological Theory of Suicide, and Intersectionality) to explain the problem of queer youth suicide through our integrated conceptual model, Queer Prevention of Youth Suicidality Model (Queer-PRYSM). The need for this conceptual model is based on the current state o…
Experiences of minority stress and access to primary care services among sexual minority adults in the United States
Primary care services are cornerstones for US health care, assuring preventive screening, maintenance of therapeutics, and access to specialty care. Sexual minority (SM) adults are less likely to have access to primary care services than their heterosexual counterparts. Additionally, access to health services among SM persons can vary by age. One plausible explanation for these disparities are experiences of minority stress. Thus, the purpose of …
Access to health services among sexual minority people in the United States
Sexual minority people in the United States are less likely to have access to health services when compared to their heterosexual counterparts. Less is known about the within-group sociodemographic memberships among sexual minority people regarding access to health services.

Data come from a mixed‐method, ecological momentary assessment study ( n = 80; 43% sexual minority; 10% gender min…
Burden, Belonging, and Homelessness: Disclosure and Social Network Differences among LGBTQ Youth Recruited from a Suicide Crisis Service Provider
Among LGBTQ youth, suicidality and homelessness occur at heightened rates. Using the Interpersonal Theory of Suicide (ITS), this study seeks to explore the associations of having a parent, family member, friend, or romantic partner in one's social network and not being "out" to specific network members (lack of disclosure) with ITS constructs (perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belonging), considering homelessness history. Data include 462 you…
Venue-based versus Geosocial Networking Application-based Recruitment of Young Men Who Have Sex with Men: An Examination of Feasibility
Because of the high cost, venue-based probability sampling of young men who have sex with men (YMSM) is largely inaccessible to social researchers. The aim of this study is to compare the feasibility of implementing geosocial networking application-based (GSNA) and venue-based prob`ability sampling of young men who have sex with men. A cross-sectional survey conducted in Los Angeles in 2017 and 2018 recruited 124 YMSM using both methods. We compa…

Covid-19-Related Household Job Loss and Mental Health in a Nationwide United States Sample of Sexual Minority Adolescents
Household job loss during COVID-19 constitutes a public health crisis. Research suggests associations between household job loss, harsher parenting practices, and mental health challenges in the general population. Sexual minority adolescents (SMA) face high rates of family stress and rejection, but evidence linking household job loss to SMA mental health is lacking. This study evaluated associations between household job loss, family rejection, …
Acculturation-Related Stress and Mental Health Outcomes Among Three Generations of Hispanic Adolescents
