Trends in psychosocial research on LGBTIQ+ populations in Latin America

Initially, research focused mainly on prejudice, using qualitative techniques. Studies on LGBTIQ+ populations, using more sophisticated psychosocial theories such as those of Herek or Meyer, began in the mid‐1990s.

Building bridges and breaking down silos
Interdisciplinary collaboration fuels research innovation and funders are increasingly offering long-term grants prioritising partnerships. However, a gap remains regarding the effective development, evaluatation, and sustainment of research partnerships; particularly those supporting marginalised populations like sexual and gender minority youth (SGMY). There is a concomitant need to expand research internationally to cross-culturally conceptual…

Las personas LGBT+ durante la pandemia de Covid-19 en México
La discusión sobre los grupos que enfrentan situaciones de vulnerabilidad por las condiciones de desigualdad múltiple y acumulada en la sociedad ha aumentado en los últimos años.

En México, durante las últimas décadas, muchos grupos de la población han experimentado discriminaci…

Violence as Mediating Variable in Mental Health Disparities Associated to Sexual Orientation Among Mexican Youths
In this study, we explored the role of sex as an effect-modifying variable in the association between sexual orientation and mental health in Mexican youth. In addition, we tested if violent experiences in the family and the school and attitudes toward homosexuality could act as mediating variables in such association. Data from three representative surveys performed in 2007, 2009, and 2013 among Mexican high school students were analyzed. Two di…
