Inequities in Self-Reported Social Risk Factors by Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Sexual minority (ie, people who self-identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, and other nonheterosexual identities) and gender minority (ie, people who self-identify as transgender, nonbinary, or other noncisgender identities) adults report worse health outcomes compared with heterosexual and cisgender adults, respectively. Although social risk factors (SRFs; eg, housing instability) are associated with health outcomes, little is known about the prevalence of SRFs among sexual and gender minority adults.

Objective

To examine differences in the prevalence of SRFs by sexual orientation and gender identity among adults.
