- 요약Even though approximately 10% of U.S. adults identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, and plus (LGBTQIA+), significant health inequities persist due to structural stigma and minority stressors. Experiences can vary significantly within LGBTQIA+ populations, yet limited research has explored how multilevel stressors and resilience factors differentially impact diverse sexual and gender identities. This dissertation investigated how gender or sexual identity function as potential moderators across these three manuscripts. Outcomes included healthcare discrimination, follow-up mental health symptoms, and physiological stress (measured by biomarkers). Multilevel factors, including identity centrality, perceived community support for LGBTQ+ people, healthcare discrimination, and state-level structural stigma, were examined as main exposures of interest, with some of these variables serving as outcomes depending on the manuscript. Manuscript 1 examined gender identity centrality, perceived community support for LGBTQ+ people, and state-level structural stigma as predictors and healthcare discrimination as the outcome in a sexual and gender minority (SGM) sample. Gender identity was explored as a potential moderator. Unexpectedly, transgender and nonbinary individuals with higher levels of gender identity centrality and perceived community support reported increased healthcare discrimination, while protective state-level LGBTQ+ policies appeared to reduce discrimination. Manuscript 2 used a longitudinal study design in an SGM sample to examine follow-up anxiety and depressive symptoms as the outcomes of interest, with gender identity again acting as the potential moderator. Predictors included baseline gender identity centrality, healthcare discrimination, perceived community support for LGBTQ+ people, and state-level structural stigma. While gender identity centrality and healthcare discrimination worsened mental health symptoms, community support for LGBTQ+ people and protective state-level LGBTQ+ policies improved outcomes. However, no significant moderation effects were found. Manuscript 3 examined sexual identity (cisgender sexual minority vs. cisgender heterosexual), stratified by assigned gender at birth, as the moderator and biomarkers of physiological stress (IL-6, CRP, EBV antibodies) as outcomes. Predictors included sexual identity centrality, healthcare discrimination, perceived community support, and state-level structural stigma. Among cisgender women, healthcare discrimination was positively associated with CRP and IL-6 levels. While no significant moderation effects were observed in this stratum, important descriptive patterns emerged. Among cisgender men, sexual identity significantly moderated the association with IL-6 levels, exhibiting a crossover interaction pattern. Additionally, state-level LGBTQ+ policy protections significantly moderated the association with IL-6 and biomarker index scores, with sexual minority men showing increasing levels across the range of policy scores. Taken together, these findings highlight the importance of exploring the significant heterogeneity that exists within LGBTQIA+ populations and investigating how individual-, interpersonal-, and structural-level factors can interact to lead to health inequities. Multilevel interventions that account for subgroup differences are essential to advancing health equity in LGBTQIA+ populations.
