Abstract
Background: LGBTQIA + people experience trauma and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) at higher rates than cisgender heterosexual people, in addition to experiencing minority stress. There remains a dearth of research on appropriate PTSD interventions and minority stress interventions for LGBTQIA + people. However, the scope of the literature on neither PTSD interventions nor minority stress interventions for LGBTQIA + adults has ever been reviewed. Furthermore, research on PTSD-focused and minority stress-focused interventions remains relatively siloed, despite the link between minority stress and PTSD symptoms. The proposed scoping review aims to: (1) describe the scope of the current literature, chart available data, and synthesize findings, (2) collate information on existing PTSD and minority stress interventions for LGBTQIA + adults, and (3) identify gaps in the literature and directions for future research.
Methods: Research produced since 2000 on psychological, psychotherapeutic, and behavioral interventions for PTSD, minority stress, or both within the LGBTQIA + adult population will be reviewed. This protocol follows the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR).
Results: The search yielded a total of 6818 results. Following deduplication, a total of 4945 results remained. Title/abstract screening will be followed by full-text review and data coding, charting, and mapping.
Conclusions: This scoping review will be the first to describe the state of the literature and synthesize information on both PTSD and minority stress interventions for LGBTQIA + adults. Findings may also highlight promising interventions and treatment components. Information gleaned may inform future adaptations of existing interventions and development of new interventions for LGBTQIA + adults experiencing PTSD and/or minority stress.
Public significance statement: This paper discusses the planned steps for an ongoing scoping review. The scoping review will provide an overview of treatments for PTSD and for minority stress for LGBTQIA + adults.
Supplementary information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s44202-025-00355-2.
