History of Minor Consent Laws for Mental Health Treatment in the US.

IMPORTANCE: To facilitate access to mental health treatment for minors who are unwilling to involve parents or guardians in their care, states have enacted statutes granting minors the legal capacity to independently consent (ie, without parental/guardian consent) to mental health services. Understanding changes in these laws over time may facilitate research that assesses whether these laws increase access to care, and support legal and clinical interventions to advance minors' access to mental health care. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the adoption and amendment of minor consent laws for mental hea

Mastering Health Following Minor Stroke-A Qualitative Explorative Study.

BACKGROUND: Patients with minor stroke or transient ischemic attack are encouraged to adopt a healthy lifestyle to prevent recurrent stroke. After discharge health behaviour is performed in an individual everyday context and must be properly understood within this context, including which aspects act as facilitators or barriers for healthy behaviour. OBJECTIVES: To explore the experience of daily life in patients discharged home after minor stroke or transient ischemic attack, focusing on perceived health and reflection on health behaviour, and how this is associated with their overall experi

IRP commission: sexual minorities and mental health: global perspectives.

Sexual orientation is a key determinant of the identity of human beings. It has also been seen as a social determinant of health. People whose sexual orientation is non-heterosexual or sexual minorities or sexually diverse are included in the broad umbrella term LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender) which is a commonly used acronym in activism, social policy, and subsequently cultural literature. For this reason, this Commission focuses primarily on sexual orientation i.e. lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) groups. We have used terms non-heterosexual, sexual minorities or sexual variatio

Endocannabinoid concentrations in hair and mental health of unaccompanied refugee minors.

Altered activity of the endocannabinoid (EC) system has been linked to dysregulated stress-reactivity and the development of trauma-related psychopathology. The EC system, with its main components anandamide (AEA), 2-arachidonoyl-glycerol (2-AG) and other N-acyl-ethanolamides, is considered to be a buffer system that protects against the negative effects of traumatic experiences on mental health. Recently, the use of hair analyses, a method to gain information on long-term cumulative system activity, has been introduced to the study of ECs. Here, we seek to extend current knowledge on the pote

Health disparities among young adult sexual minorities in the U.S.

BACKGROUND: Emerging research suggests that young adult sexual minorities (identifying as lesbian, gay, or bisexual or engaging in same-sex attractions or behaviors) experience poorer health than their majority counterparts, but many measures of health inequity remain unexamined in population-based research. PURPOSE: To describe a wide range of health status and healthcare access characteristics of sexual minorities in comparison with those of the majority population in a national sample of U.S. young adults. METHODS: Binary and multinomial logistic regression analyses of Wave IV data (2008)

Substantiating the need for primary care-based sexual health promotion interventions for ethnic minority adolescent women experiencing health disparities.

PURPOSE: Assess the context of psychological distress, violence, and substance use among African- and Mexican-American adolescent women with a history of STI, violence, or high sexual risk behavior. These adolescents experience multiple health disparities, limited access to care, and are at particularly high risk of adverse sexual health outcomes. The results will inform sexual health promotion interventions provided by advanced practice nurses in primary care-based settings for women experiencing these disparities. METHODS: Analysis of self-report data obtained at study entry from African- a

Comparing health and mental health needs, service use, and barriers to services among sexual minority youths and their peers.

Using a representative national sample (N = 20,745), this article explores health and mental health needs, service use, and barriers to services among sexual minority youths (SMYs) and heterosexual peers. SMYs were defined by ever having a same-sex romantic attraction or having a recent same-sex romantic relationship or sexual partner. SMYs accounted for 7.5 percent of the sample. Data were analyzed to ascertain prevalence of risks and explore group differences. Compared with peers, SMY self-reports indicated higher prevalence rates on all indicators of health and mental health need. SMYs repo

Mental health research in minors in France: Legal and ethical issues.

The mental health of children and adolescents is a major public health issue in France. However, there is a lack of epidemiological data on this subject. Epidemiological studies on mental health in minors are subject to numerous legal and ethical constraints. The main objective of this study was to provide an overview of epidemiological studies on the mental health of minors aged 10 to 18, conducted in France among the general population. Its secondary objective was to analyze the legal and ethical constraints governing this type of research. A literature review was conducted using the PubMed,

Cancer health disparities in racial/ethnic minorities in the United States.

There are well-established disparities in cancer incidence and outcomes by race/ethnicity that result from the interplay between structural, socioeconomic, socio-environmental, behavioural and biological factors. However, large research studies designed to investigate factors contributing to cancer aetiology and progression have mainly focused on populations of European origin. The limitations in clinicopathological and genetic data, as well as the reduced availability of biospecimens from diverse populations, contribute to the knowledge gap and have the potential to widen cancer health dispar

Relationship quality and mental health among sexual and gender minorities.

Sexual and gender minorities assigned female at birth (i.e., sexual minority women, transgender men, and gender diverse [SMW TGD] individuals) experience disproportionately high rates of anxiety, depression, and substance use problems. Romantic relationship involvement has been shown to be beneficial to mental health and substance use among sexual and gender minorities. However, few studies have explored the impact of relationship quality on mental health, or if high relationship quality can reduce the negative impact of minority stress on well-being in this population. The present study exami

Rates of minor adverse events and health resource utilization postcolonoscopy.

BACKGROUND: Little is known about minor adverse events (MAEs) following outpatient colonoscopies and associated health care resource utilization. OBJECTIVE: To estimate the rates of incident MAE at two, 14 and 30 days postcolonoscopy, and associated health care resource utilization. A secondary aim was to identify factors associated with cumulative 30-day MAE incidence. METHODS: A longitudinal cohort study was conducted among individuals undergoing an outpatient colonoscopy at the Montreal General Hospital (Montreal, Quebec). Before colonoscopy, consecutive individuals were enrolled and inte

Endocrine Health and Health Care Disparities in the Pediatric and Sexual and Gender Minority Populations: An Endocrine Society Scientific Statement.

Endocrine care of pediatric and adult patients continues to be plagued by health and health care disparities that are perpetuated by the basic structures of our health systems and research modalities, as well as policies that impact access to care and social determinants of health. This scientific statement expands the Society's 2012 statement by focusing on endocrine disease disparities in the pediatric population and sexual and gender minority populations. These include pediatric and adult lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual (LGBTQIA) persons. The writing group

The Southern Rural Access Program and Alabama's Rural Health Leaders Pipeline: a partnership to develop needed minority health care professionals.

Rural Health Leaders Pipeline programs are intended to increase the number of youth interested in and pursuing health professions in rural communities. This paper presents 2 complementary approaches to Rural Health Leaders Pipeline programs. Two different organizations in Alabama recruit students from 18 specified counties. One organization is a rural, community-based program with college freshmen and upperclassmen from rural communities. Students shadow health professionals for 6 weeks, attend classes, visit medical schools, complete and present health projects, and receive support from onlin

Sexual Minority, Justice-Involved Youth: A Hidden Population in Need of Integrated Mental Health, Substance Use, and Sexual Health Services.

PURPOSE: We sought to compare the demographic characteristics, drug and alcohol use, sexual behaviors, delinquency, and mental health indicators of sexual minority and nonsexual minority first-time offending, court-involved, nonincarcerated adolescents. METHODS: Using adolescent- and caregiver-reported baseline data from the Epidemiologic Study Involving Children in the Court, a prospective cohort study of 423 adolescent-caregiver dyads recruited from a Northeastern family court system, we compared demographic and behavioral health characteristics of sexual minority and nonsexual minority fir

In Harm's Way: How the 2024 U.S. Election Might Affect Sexual- and Gender-Minority Health.

Immediately after taking office in 2025, the current U.S. presidential administration established an unprecedented number of policies hostile to sexual- and gender-minority (SGM) populations: restricting the rights and social legitimacy of transgender individuals, curtailing youth access to gender-affirming medical care, terminating federal research and data collection on sexual and gender diversity, and restricting open discussion of sexual and gender diversity in educational settings. These events pose a greater threat to SGM health than previous state-level hostile policies, because of thei

Health Outcomes, Discrimination, and Stigma Among Sexual and Gender Minority People With Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

BACKGROUND: Sexual and gender minority (SGM) individuals often experience more discrimination and worse health than non-SGM people. Less is known about SGM individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We studied IBD outcomes, discrimination, illness-related stigma, and SGM status in a cross-sectional survey. METHODS: In total, 1586 IBD Partners e-cohort participants self-reported sexual orientation, gender identity, and prior IBD treatment. They completed the Short Crohn's Disease Activity Index or Simple Clinical Colitis Activity Index, the Everyday Discrimination Scale, and the Parado

Sleep health among sexual and gender minority people in the United States: A scoping review.

Sleep has been found to be essential to physical and mental health. Sexual and gender minority (SGM; e.g., lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, nonbinary) individuals experience significant health disparities, and emerging research indicates that this includes disparities in sleep health. However, the current literature on sleep health in this population has not previously been rigorously reviewed. This scoping review provides a comprehensive overview and synthesis of the current literature on SGM sleep health in the United States. Following established scoping review methodology, we systemati

Racism-related stress, health outcomes, substance use, and PrEP attitudes among Asian sexual minority men.

Racial discrimination has been linked to decreased psychological well-being and physical health. Most Asian Americans in the United States reported discrimination against Asians as a major problem and that inadequate attention is given to racial inequities affecting Asians living in the US. We described the association of racism-related stress and health outcomes among Asian American sexual minority men. We hypothesized that greater racism-related stress is associated with poor general and oral health, increased substance use, and unfavorable attitudes about PrEP. We conducted a secondary anal

Hispanic sexual minority individuals, linguistic acculturation, and behavioral health: Evidence of a healthy migrant effect.

PURPOSE: Stress-based theories suggest that sexual minority Hispanic migrants are at increased risk of adverse behavioral health outcomes. However, a body of descriptive evidence shows migrants exhibit improved health outcomes. Responding to calls for intersectional investigations of the 'healthy migrant effect,' we quantitatively examine whether sexual minority status moderates the relationship between English proficiency (a proxy for acculturation) and behavioral health. METHODS: We used pooled cross-sectional data from the Hispanic respondents to the 2015-2019 National Survey on Drug Use a
