Partner Gender and Sexual Orientation, Partner Binegativity, and Intimate Partner Violence Victimization Among Chinese Bisexual Individuals
Objective This study investigates how partner binegativity, varying by partner gender and sexual orientation, contributes to intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization among Chinese cisgender bisexual individuals. Background Bisexual individuals experience higher rates of IPV victimization than heterosexual and lesbian/gay individuals. Binegativity (i.e., negative attitudes toward bisexuality), which likely varies across relationships with dif…

Parental Sexual Orientation Socialization for Sexual Minority Youth
Objective To identify and conceptualize parent–child interactions about cisgender sexual minority youths' (SMY) minoritized sexual identity, with an explicit focus on parenting communication and behaviors. Background SMY experience stigma and consequently compromised development and health. Adjacent literature on racial/ethnic minoritized youth demonstrates the protective function of identity‐based parenting practices that facilitate adaptive str…
Mental Health Risk and Protection Among First-Generation Latinx Immigrant Youth
First-generation Latinx immigrant youth from the Northern Triangle (NT; El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras) face unique risks for experiencing stressors across the phases of migration, which could exacerbate their mental health. This study aimed to (a) identify and characterize unique latent profile groups based on response patterns to immigrant minority stress and psychosocial protective factor items and (b) examine the associations of latent …
The Relationship Between the Family Environment and Community Context on LGBTQ+ Youth’s Disordered Eating Behaviors
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) youth experience disparate rates of disordered eating behaviors (DEB; purging, restricting food intake, and binge eating) compared with cisgender and/or heterosexual youth. Yet we have limited data examining the mechanisms that contribute to DEB among LGBTQ+ youth. This study examined associations among family acceptance and rejection and community context (acceptance, support, involvement, …
An Almost Empty Scoping Review
Research has yet to offer strong recommendations for effective tobacco prevention and cessation messaging that can reduce tobacco-related health disparities among Black and/or Latine LGBTQ+ youth and young adults. As a result of predatory marketing strategies and community stressors, among other factors, LGBTQ+ youth and young adults use tobacco products at higher rates than their non-LGBTQ+ peers. These disparities are uniquely complex among Bla…
Adolescence into adulthood
This study utilized three waves of data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health) to examine patterns of suicidal thoughts and behaviors and changes in religiosity from adolescence into young adulthood between sexual minority and heterosexual individuals. Repeated measure latent class analysis revealed sexual minority participants were more likely to be in the "high adolescent/lower adult risk" and "moderate-…

Community Efforts to Support LGBTQ+ Youth Mental Health
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) youth face disparities in mental health and substance use. LGBTQ+ community‐based organizations (CBOs) offer resources that may combat stress and mental health concerns; however, limited research has examined their programs or practices. We explored the facets of youth mental health services offered by LGBTQ+ CBOs in the US. Qualitative interviews were conducted with staff at 16 LGBTQ+ CBOs …
Using co‐design methods to develop new personalised support for people living with Long Covid
INTRODUCTION: Many Covid-19 survivors are living with unresolved, relapsing and remitting symptoms and no 'one size' of treatment is likely to be effective for everyone. Supported self-management for the varied symptoms of Long Covid (LC) is recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence in the United Kingdom. We aimed to develop a new personalised support intervention for people living with LC using a structured co-design f…
Trends in mental health and smoking disparities between sexual minority and heterosexual adults in Canada, 2003–2020
Sexual minority populations experience a higher burden of mental health and substance use/misuse conditions than heterosexual comparators-a health inequality that has predominantly been attributed to forms of minority stress experienced by the former group. Sexual minority-affirming legislative and policy advances, as well as improvements in social attitudes toward sexual minorities in recent decades, should presumably reduce experiences of minor…

The timing of sexual identity development milestones
Prior studies have reported generational declines in the ages at which sexual minority people first experience sexual identity development milestones (e.g., first awareness of same-sex attraction, self-realization of a sexual minority identity, same-sex sexual behavior, and disclosure); yet such studies have relied on retrospective data from adults that may conflate maturational age influences with cohort influences. In the current study, we dise…
LGBTQ + youth policy and mental health
The link between state policies and LGBTQ+ youth mental health is well-established, yet less well-understood are the mechanisms that drive these associations. We used a sample from the LGBTQ+ National Teen Survey (n = 8368) collected in 2022 to examine whether and to what degree LGBTQ+ inclusive school strategies, student perceptions of school safety, and experiences with bias-based bullying and peer victimization explain the association between …
Trends in Bullying Victimization and Social Unsafety for Sexually and Gender Diverse Students
Research has documented trends in bullying victimization for sexually diverse adolescents in the US, but trends regarding school social unsafety are understudied and there is a dearth of research examining these trends for gender diverse adolescents. This study aimed to identify disparities in bullying victimization and feelings of social unsafety in schools for sexually and gender diverse adolescents. Data stem from the 2014 ( N = 15,800; M age …

Defining and measuring family
ObjectiveThis essay discusses the challenges and opportunities of defining family in the context of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) people.BackgroundLGBTQ+ people and their families remain at the forefront of novel family scholarship. Interrogating methodological approaches to defining family are critical for overcoming the continued marginalization and misrepresentation of LGBTQ+ family scholarship.MethodWe review and pre…
Parental support is not enough
LGBTQ+ youth endure health inequities resulting from stigma and would benefit from strategies that help them navigate unique developmental challenges. One promising strategy to address LGBTQ+ youths' health is augmenting parenting behaviors to support youth's adaptive strategies in the face of stigma. There remain limited conceptual frameworks and empirical focus on parenting LGBTQ+ youth. Adjacent research on racial‐ethnic socialization—parental…
The Gender Self-Report
Gender identity is a core component of human experience, critical to account for in broad health, development, psychosocial research, and clinical practice. Yet, the psychometric characterization of gender has been impeded due to challenges in modeling the myriad gender self-descriptors, statistical power limitations related to multigroup analyses, and equity-related concerns regarding the accessibility of complex gender terminology. Therefore, t…
Blurred border or safe harbor? Emotional well-being among sexual and gender minority adults working from home during Covid-19
Expanding Notions of LGBTQ
Sexual identity labels and meanings have been expanding. We explore how sexual identities are taking shape, intertwining, and emerging in new forms among a growing number of LGBTQ+ people (i.e., lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning, or people whose identities are outside the historically privileged or dominant groups of heterosexual sexual identities). We situate contemporary sexual identities in theories of the social cons…
Everyday Discrimination and Alcohol use among Sexual Minority Adults in a U.S. National Probability Sample
Objective: Limited research assesses how sexual orientation and gender identity and expression (SOGIE)-based discrimination affects alcohol use above and beyond non-SOGIE-related discrimination and how this may differ for sexual minority subgroups. We examined if SOGIE-related discrimination is additive in affecting alcohol use above and beyond non-SOGIE-related discrimination and examined differences in alcohol use, everyday discrimination, and …
Between cornfields and Kinfolk
Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) youth face high rates of discrimination and victimization in their communities and families that contribute to elevated rates of behavioral health concerns. While the individual links between community and family environments and well‐being for this population are clear, how these environments work in unison remains unclear. Furthermore, the methods TGD youth use to manage their identities in these environment…
Sexual identity development milestones in three generations of sexual minority people
Using data from the first national probability sample of Black, White, and Latinx sexual minority people in the United States, we examined whether and how sexual identity development timing and pacing differs across demographic subgroups at the intersections of cohort, sex, sexual identity, and race/ethnicity. Among a sample of 1,491 participants aged 18-60 from 3 distinct birth cohorts, we measured participants' ages of sexual identity developme…
Queering Methodologies to Understand Queer Families
Queering questions that which is normative. In this article, we discuss how, for the study of queer families, queering methodologies could reclaim traditional research methods that reflect historically dominant or privileged paradigms. We suggest that queer perspectives may be used to adapt mainstream (i.e., dominant, positivist, empirical) methods, creating possibilities for new, diverse understandings of queer families. We start with comments o…
Gay‐Straight Alliances, Inclusive Policy, and School Climate
Gay-Straight Alliances (GSA) and school policies focused on support for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning youth may reduce bias-based bullying and enhance social supports in schools. Using multivariate regression, we tested the relationship between youth reports of the presence of GSAs and LGBTQ-focused policies, independently and mutually, with experiences bullying and perceived support (n = 1,061). Youth reported higher…

Use of Identity Theory to Inform Fathering Scholarship
Our goal was to assess the contributions of identity theory to fathering research by critically reviewing the fathering literature that incorporated concepts and assumptions from this theory to frame their efforts. Overall, research findings support the association between father identity and fathering behavior, although differences in the nuance of theoretical constructs (status vs. role) in this association are less pronounced. We identify seve…
Do differences matter? A typology of emerging adult romantic relationship
Romantic relationships among emerging adults (individuals aged 18-25 years) are typically homogenously classified both theoretically and empirically as "exploratory" and "unstable." With a sample of college students ( N = 340), we examined within-group variation among romantic relationships in emerging adulthood using latent class analyses. Four predictor variables indicated four types of romantic relationships among emerging adult college studen…
Sexual Minority-related Discrimination across the Life Course
In the United States, sexual minority (SM) status is associated with a number of health disparities. Based on mounting evidence, stigma and discrimination have been cited as key barriers to health equity for this population. We estimated the prevalence of three types of discrimination as a function of age among SM adults from the National Epidemiological Study of Alcohol Use and Related Conditions III (NESARC-III) (2012-2013). Among SM adults, re…

Diverse community contexts and community resources for sexual and gender minority youth
Sexual and gender minority (SGM) youth face marginalization and oppression on the basis of their SGM identity, and they often lack traditional support systems to deal with these minority stressors. SGM community resources may alleviate the impact of the stressors that SGM youth face, but these have not been studied in relation to the size and climate of SGM youth's communities. This mixed‐methods study examined the relationship between community …

The Impact of Community Size, Community Climate, and Victimization on the Physical and Mental Health of SGM Youth
Sexual and gender minority (SGM) youth experience high rates of victimization leading to health disparities. Community size and community climate are associated with health outcomes among SGM youth; however, we lack studies that include them as covariates alongside victimization to understand their collective impact on health. This study utilized minority stress theory to understand how community context shapes experiences of victimization and he…
Memorable Experiences between Fathers and Sons
Using a narrative and identity theory approach, in-depth interviews were conducted with 38 men. They were asked to describe a critical incident in order to elicit the important factors that males describe when talking about their relationships with their fathers. The men were mostly blue collar or self-employed, with a mean age of 48 years. Six of the 38 men described poor relationships with their fathers, while 3 men described a relationship wit…

Mothering and Stress during Covid-19
Using primary data from the Assessing the Social Consequences of COVID-19 study, the authors examined how the pandemic affected the stress levels of women with and without coresiding minor children (mothers vs. nonmothers), paying special attention to the moderating role of employment status. The ordinary least squares regression results show that following the pandemic outbreak, among full-time working women, mothers reported smaller stress incr…
Predictive validity of the genderqueer identity scale (GQI)
Introduction : The Genderqueer Identity Scale (GQI; McGuire et al., this issue) - a newly developed and validated measure - assesses genderqueer identity via four subscales: challenging the gender binary , the extent to which participants actively work to dismantle gender binaries in identity and expression); social construction of gender, or the degree to which participants interpret their gender identity as something that develops versus an inn…

College Adjustment, Relationship Satisfaction, and Conflict Management
Emerging adulthood is a period in the life course that consists of several developmental tasks, including occupational and relationship exploration. Consistent with the developmental tasks of this period, we tested a model of individual development. Using a sample of emerging adults in romantic relationships ( N = 267), we examined the longitudinal association between conflict management and relationship satisfaction and subsequent college adjust…

Mental Health in Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Youth
Today's lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) youth come out at younger ages, and public support for LGBT issues has dramatically increased, so why do LGBT youth continue to be at high risk for compromised mental health? We provide an overview of the contemporary context for LGBT youth, followed by a review of current science on LGBT youth mental health. Research in the past decade has identified risk and protective factors for mental he…

Sexual Identity Disclosure and Awareness of HIV Prevention Methods Among Black Men Who Have Sex With Men
Black men who have sex with men (BMSM) are disproportionately affected by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic, yet we know little about how HIV-negative BMSM of different sexual orientations access HIV prevention strategies. Identity development, minority stress, and disclosure theories suggest that for people of different sexual orientations, disclosure of sexual identity may be related to health behaviors. We performed a latent clas…

Sexual Minority Youth, Social Change, and Health
Few societal attitudes and opinions have changed as quickly as those regarding sexual minority people and rights. In the context of dramatic social change in the space of a single generation, there have been multiple policy changes toward social inclusion and rights for lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) people, and perceptions that the sociocultural context for LGB people - perhaps particularly for youth - has improved. Yet recent evidence from th…
