Multiple Minority Stress and Behavioral Health Among Young Black and Latino Sexual Minority Men.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: Young Black and Latino sexual minority men may experience multiple minority stressors, which may negatively impact behavioral health. To investigate this, longitudinal associations between multiple minority stressors and behavioral health outcomes were examined over a 2-year period. Methods: Data were from the Healthy Young Men's Cohort Study. The present study used five waves of data collected every 6 months from 2016 to 2019. Participants were young Black and/or Latino sexual minority men in Los Angeles, California (n = 448; aged 16-24). Participants self-reported their experiences of racial and homonegative discrimination, internalized homonegativity, alcohol use, and depressive symptoms.
