Abstract

Abstract This study assessed the relationship between microaggressions and health outcomes among bisexual women. Participants came from the Women’s Daily Experiences Study, a mixed method study of bisexual women recruited in Chicago (N = 112). Using cross-sectional data, we tested bivariate and multivariate associations of lifetime and past year sexual orientation microaggressions with depression, anxiety, self-assessed mental and physical health, and substance use. We also tested relationships between intersectional microaggressions, related to racial and sexual minority identities, and health outcomes among a sub-sample of women of color (n = 64). The majority of participants reported experiences of microaggressions in their lifetime and in the past year. Multivariate analyses revealed significant associations between lifetime and past year sexual orientation microaggressions, mental health and substance use. Among bisexual women of color, intersectional microaggressions were significantly associated with higher levels of depression, anxiety, and poorer self-assessed mental health. Implications and future directions are discussed.

种族和民族多样性双性恋妇女的微侵犯与健康结果

摘要本研究评估了双性恋女性的微侵犯与健康结果之间的关系。参与者来自女性日常经历研究，这是一项针对芝加哥招募的双性恋女性的混合方法研究（N = 112）。使用横断面数据，我们测试了一生和过去一年的性取向微侵犯与抑郁、焦虑、自我评估的身心健康和药物使用的双变量和多变量关联。我们还测试了与种族和性少数群体身份相关的交叉微侵犯与有色人种女性子样本（n = 64）。大多数参与者报告了他们一生和过去一年中的微侵犯经历。多变量分析显示，一生和过去一年的性取向微侵犯、心理健康和药物使用之间存在显著关联。在有色人种双性恋女性中，交叉性微侵犯与更高水平的抑郁、焦虑和较差的自我评估心理健康显著相关。讨论了影响和未来方向。
