US State Policies and Mental Health Symptoms Among Sexual and Gender Minority Adults
In this study of 8733 SGM adults using difference-in-differences analysis, anti-GM policies were associated with worse mental health symptoms among SGM adults but no changes in mental health symptoms among GM adults. As these policies proliferate, it is important to consider how they may affect mental health.
