dc.description.abstract | Black sexual minority women (BSMW) continue to be understudied despite experiencing a myriad of physical, sexual, and mental health disparities which intersect with their triply marginalized identities (i.e., race, gender, and sexual orientation (Calabrese et al., 2014). Experiences of systemic oppression and discrimination experienced by Black sexual minority women significantly contribute to these disparities. The present study examines the impact of intersectional microaggressions (i.e., LGBT-POC microaggressions) on health help-seeking, suicide ideation, and self-reported health among Black sexual minority women. Racial and sexual discrimination has been associated with poorer health outcomes (i.e., suicide ideation) and lower health behaviors (i.e., help-seeking) among Black women. To date, no study has examined the impact of LGBT-POC microaggressions on suicide ideation, poor perceived health, and help-seeking behaviors in sexual minority Black women. Understanding the extent of LGBT Black women’s experiences with sexual and racial discrimination impacts health outcomes and health behaviors will aid in developing culturally informed clinical interventions and increase knowledge surrounding minority stress, intersectionality, and health outcomes. | |
