AbstractIntroduction This study sought to determine whether gender, fluid identity, and fluid attraction groups differed significantly in stress, depression, and anxiety among LGBTQA + sexual minorities compared to non–sexual minorities.Methods Using the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health), this study conducted two-way analyses of variance to determine whether male or female sexual minorities had significantly different levels of stress, depression, and anxiety when compared to non–sexual minorities. Individuals were also placed in one of eight groups based on sexual orientation, fluid identity, and fluid attraction to determine whether fluidity played a unique role in contributing to mental health.Results Results showed that both gender and fluidity accounted for 3.7% to 9.7% of the variance in stress (R2 = 4.1%), depression (R2 = 3.7%), and anxiety (R2 = 9.7%). Non–sexual minorities who reported both fluid attraction and fluid identity also reported the highest rate of stress, anxiety, and depression, revealing that fluidity had a unique impact on mental health apart from sexual orientation. This consistent pattern did not occur among sexual minorities. Sexual minorities had varying degrees of stress, depression, and anxiety, depending on the combination of static or fluid attraction or identity.Conclusion Fluid attraction, fluid identity, and gender significantly impacted stress, depression, and anxiety regardless of sexual orientation.Keywords: LGBTQfluid identitystressanxietydepression Ethics statementRutgers University Institutional Review Board (IRB) and Bloomsburg University IRB granted exempt IRB reviews for this study.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementThe data supporting these results were derived from the following resources in the public domain: https://addhealth.cpc.unc.edu/data/#public-use.Additional informationFundingThe author(s) reported there is no funding associated with the work featured in this article.

Introduction The LGBTQ+ community is often discriminated against and stigmatized resulting in greater psychological and emotional stress compared to heterosexual and cisgender people. Consequently, poorer mental health is often observed in this community. To alleviate these disparities, mental health professionals need to be culturally competent. Therefore, LGBTQ+ cultural competency was explored in a sample of Irish mental health professional students.

AbstractIntroduction Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer (LGBQ) individuals confront ongoing decisions about whether to reveal their sexual orientation to others. In some situations, LGBQ individuals opt for a strategy of concealment (i.e., an active effort to hide one’s sexual minority identity). A robust body of research has linked concealment to mental health challenges. However, most previous studies have been cross-sectional, limiting their ability to draw conclusions about the directionality of these associations.Method The present study used data collected at two times points four months apart to examine the reciprocal association of concealment with depressive symptoms and life satisfaction in a sample of 91 LGBQ college students. Data were analyzed using cross-lagged panel models.Results Results revealed that depressive symptoms and life satisfaction predicted concealment four months later. Concealment predicted lower levels of later life satisfaction—but not depressive symptoms—four months later. Experiences of heterosexist discrimination did not confound the associations between concealment and mental health.Conclusion Findings highlight the value of longitudinal study designs for research on LGBQ identity and have implications for the theory of identity management. In particular, general mental health variables may have a greater impact on the LGBQ identity management process than previously thought.Keywords: Sexual minorityidentity managementconcealmentmental healthLGBQ Ethics statementThis study was approved by the Human Subjects Research Board at George Mason University (Protocol #4728).Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementThe data that support the findings of this study are available from the corresponding author, Colleen A.

女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋和酷儿(LGBQ)个体一直面临着是否向他人透露自己性取向的决定。在某些情况下，LGBQ个体选择了一种隐藏的策略(即，积极地隐藏自己的性少数身份)。大量的研究将隐瞒与心理健康问题联系起来。然而，大多数先前的研究都是横断面的，限制了他们得出这些关联的方向性结论的能力。方法以91名LGBQ大学生为研究对象，采用间隔4个月两次采集的数据，考察隐蔽性与抑郁症状和生活满意度的相互关系。数据分析采用交叉滞后面板模型。结果抑郁症状和生活满意度预测4个月后的隐蔽性。隐藏预示着4个月后较低的生活满意度——但不是抑郁症状。异性恋歧视的经历并没有混淆隐藏与心理健康之间的联系。结论研究结果突出了纵向研究设计在LGBQ身份研究中的价值，并对身份管理理论具有启示意义。特别是，一般的心理健康变量对LGBQ身份管理过程的影响可能比之前认为的要大。关键词:性少数群体身份认同管理隐藏心理健康lgbq伦理声明本研究由乔治梅森大学人类受试者研究委员会批准(协议#4728)。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。数据可得性声明支持本研究结果的数据可根据合理要求从通讯作者Colleen A.

AbstractIntroduction Little is known about the experiences of LGBTQ+ identifying professionals working in mental health services.Method This study analyzed 14 in-depth interviews conducted with LGB identifying professionals working in mental health services in Israel.Results Analysis of the interviews identified six unique forms of sexual orientation microaggressions: (1) Pathologizing LGBTQ+ identities; (2) Messages of concealment; (3) Lack of recognition; (4) Organizational positioning as experts of “gayness”; (5) Heteronormative compliments; and (6) Invasiveness.Conclusion We argue that actions should be taken by mental health services to reduce the unique sexual orientation microaggressions identified in this study.Keywords: Microaggressionmental health servicesself-disclosure Ethics statementThis study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Department of Social Work at the Ben Gurion University of the Negev.Disclosure statementThe authors declare that they have no competing interests.Data availability statementDue to the nature of this research, participants of this study did not agree for their data to be shared publicly, so supporting data is not available.Table 1.

AbstractIntroduction: LGBTQ+ youth experience significant mental health challenges, which were exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. This empirically explores the experiences of LGBTQ+ youth during COVID and their participation in AFFIRM Online, a digital affirmative CBT intervention. Methods: Thematic analysis of longitudinal qualitative questionnaires explored the experiences of 184 LGBTQ+ youth during waves 1–5 of the pandemic.Result: Three themes emerged: (a) Connecting with Community During Lockdown; (b) Fostering Calm in the Chaos; and (c) Developing Hope and Coping Skills for a “Post-COVID” Future. Conclusion: Digital interventions can help LGBTQ+ youth develop coping skills that support resilience during a significant crisis.Keywords: LGBTQ+COVID-19Youth and young adultsMental healthAffirmative CBT Ethics statementThis study received ethical approval from the University of Toronto Health Sciences Research Ethics Board.Disclosure statementThe authors report there are no competing interests to declare.Data availability statementDue to the therapeutic context that the data were collected in and related ethical concerns, supporting data is not available.Additional informationFundingThis was supported by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) under grant number 1718-HQ-000697 and by a Partnership Grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) under grant number #895-2018-1000.
