Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the lives of people worldwide, causing unprecedented isolation and mental health affects; however, few studies have characterized this in sexual and gender minority (SGM) young people, a particularly vulnerable population given their well-documented socioeconomic and mental health disparities. This cross-sectional study sought to analyze the mental health outcomes of SGM young people (18-30 years old) during the early stages (“Wave 1”) of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States (April 13 to June 18, 2020) and to explore how factors related to SGM identity impact mental health, such as lifetime discrimination, family support, and pre-existing mental health conditions.
