Rural–urban movement and stability in relation to minority stress‐related factors, tobacco norms, and tobacco use among a sample of US sexual minority‐identifying young adults
These novel findings provide preliminary evidence that, relative to their SM peers who reside in rural areas, SMYAs who move from rural to urban areas may experience less minority stress-related factors and lower tobacco use norms, which may reduce risk for cigarette and other tobacco use. Findings highlight the need for public health messaging interventions targeting SMYAs in rural communities.
