Outcomes of an Evidence-Based Telemental Health Program Across Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity
Introduction: The effectiveness of evidence-based mental health programs across sexual orientation and minoritized gender identity groups is not well-understood. Objectives: To evaluate outcomes of an employer-offered, evidence-based telemental health program (video-based psychotherapy sessions supplemented by asynchronous, guided practice sessions) across gender identity and sexual orientation groups. Methods: This retrospective cohort analysis …
An examination of the criterion-related validity of varying methods of indexing clinically significant change in posttraumatic stress disorder treatment
The J&T methodology for indexing CSC in PTSD symptoms has criterion-related validity, and a norm-referenced benchmark appears to be the most potent. However, the norm-referenced parameters may be overly specific, potentially leading to an underestimate of improvement. Research is needed to test the generalizability of these results.

Suicide Attempts Among Racial and Ethnic Groups in a Nationally Representative Sample
Military service experiences and reasons for service separation among lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals in a large military cohort
Less positive military- and separation-specific experiences disproportionately affected LGB service members in this study. Promoting inclusion and increasing support for LGB service members may improve satisfaction with military service and retention
Association of Depression and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder with Receipt of Minimally Invasive Hysterectomy for Uterine Fibroids
Race/ethnicity and sexual orientation disparities in mental health, sexism, and social support among women veterans
Among women veterans, race/ethnicity and sexual orientation were associated with mental health and sexism, alone and in combination. Findings suggest that those who were both racial/ethnic and sexual minorities may develop resilience from their lived experience. On the other hand, women veterans with a minority race/ethnicity or a minority sexual orientation appeared more vulnerable to adverse outcomes and may need targeted care
Disparities in Physical Health Conditions Among Lesbian and Bisexual Women
A qualitative analysis of transgender veterans’ lived experiences
Transgender Veterans’ Satisfaction With Care and Unmet Health Needs
BACKGROUND: Transgender individuals are overrepresented among Veterans. However, little is known regarding their satisfaction with Veterans Administration (VA) care and unmet health needs. OBJECTIVES: This study examined transgender Veterans' satisfaction with VA medical and mental health care, prevalence of delaying care, and correlates of these outcomes. RESEARCH DESIGN: We used data from transgender Veterans collected in 2014 through an online…

Minority stress and physical health among sexual minority individuals
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptom Severity and Socioeconomic Factors Associated with Veterans Health Administration Use among Women Veterans
Sexual Assault, Sexual Harassment, and Physical Victimization during Military Service across Age Cohorts of Women Veterans
Coping as a mediator of internalized homophobia and psychological distress among young adult sexual minority women
Sexual minorities have higher rates of depression and anxiety than their heterosexual counterparts. This elevated risk of psychological distress has generally been hypothesized to be a result of the effects of discrimination including internalized negative beliefs about sexual minorities. However, little research has examined the role of various types of coping in mediating between internalized homophobia and mental health. We tested the direct r…
The health equity promotion model
National health initiatives emphasize the importance of eliminating health disparities among historically disadvantaged populations. Yet, few studies have examined the range of health outcomes among lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people. To stimulate more inclusive research in the area, we present the Health Equity Promotion Model-a framework oriented toward LGBT people reaching their full mental and physical health potential that…
Health and Health Behavior Differences
Childhood Trauma, Adult Sexual Assault, and Adult Gender Expression among Lesbian and Bisexual Women
Coping strategies and health in a national sample of sexual minority women
Coping strategies have been shown to significantly influence mental and physical health among heterosexual and medically ill populations. These associations have not been thoroughly examined among sexual minority women, who are known to shoulder a high burden of disease. This study assesses the impact of adaptive and maladaptive coping on mental and physical health among 1,381 lesbian and bisexual women and examines the potential mediating role o…
Are Peer Interventions for HIV Efficacious? A Systematic Review
The impact of minority stress on mental health and substance use among sexual minority women.
OBJECTIVE: We examined the direct and indirect impact of minority stress on mental health and substance use among sexual minority women. METHOD: A combination of snowball and targeted sampling strategies was used to recruit lesbian and bisexual women (N = 1,381) for a cross-sectional, online survey. Participants (M age = 33.54 years; 74% White) completed a questionnaire assessing gender expression, minority stressors (i.e., victimization, interna…
Development and Validation of a Gender Expression Measure Among Sexual Minority Women
Gender expression varies considerably among lesbian and bisexual women and may be related to various stressors and health outcomes. However, no current measure adequately assesses gender expression in this community. Thus, the authors conducted three studies to develop and validate the Gender Expression Measure among Sexual Minority Women (GEM-SMW). First, an initial item pool was evaluated in 3 focus groups with 23 women identifying as butch, fe…
Peer interventions to promote health
Peers have intervened to promote health since ancient times, yet few attempts have been made to describe theoretically their role and their interventions. After a brief overview of the history and variety of peer-based health interventions, a 4-part definition of peer interveners is presented here with a consideration of the dimensions of their involvement in health promotion. Then, a 2-step process is proposed as a means of conceptualizing peer …
An investigation of the phenomenon of non‐consensual sex among Maori men who have sex with men
Instances of non-consensual sex (NCS) among men are highly under-reported. The research that has been conducted into this issue shows, however, that men who have sex with men experience higher rates of NCS than do other men and that these men are likely not to report that they have been subjected to NCS largely because there are no support systems in place for them. For a long time, there has been an expectation that while men might perpetrate ac…
Abuse, mastery, and health among lesbian, bisexual, and two-spirit American Indian and Alaska Native women
American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) women have endured a history of colonial oppression in the United States. Current manifestations of colonization include an epidemic of violence toward AIAN women, who often are sexually and physically abused from early on in life. Such violence may erode AIAN women's sense of agency or mastery and contribute to their poor physical and mental health outcomes. AIAN women who identify as lesbian, bisexual, o…
Redefining the American quilt
Lesbian and bisexual women from diverse backgrounds possess unique viewpoints regarding the meanings and functions of “community.” Despite this, few studies have explored sexual minority women's understanding of and relationship to their communities. The present study employed qualitative research methods to investigate the meanings and functions of community among a sample of ethnically diverse lesbian and bisexual women ( N =49). From the parti…

Toward a Greater Understanding of Antigay Prejudice
Prejudice against gay men and lesbians could be driven by at least two types of expectancy violations: those pertaining to sexual orientation per se, and perceived violations of traditional gender roles (e.g., the fact that gay men are often inferred to be feminine and lesbians to be masculine). However, it is unclear whether one or the other (or both) of these expectancy violations are actually important in driving prejudicial reactions. In a co…
