Abstract

Introduction Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning+ (LGBTQ+) people have historically faced disproportionate economic and health-related challenges, which have likely been further exacerbated by coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). To provide support and equitable resources for this community, it is critical to identify resource needs and challenges and understand the experiences of this community during the COVID-19 pandemic. Materials and Methods We administered an online survey to examine the experiences and needs of minority LGBTQ+ people, ages 18-35, who resided in an Ending the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Epidemic (EHE) metropolitan jurisdiction in the Southeastern United States (U.S.). Results Since the onset of COVID-19, the majority of survey respondents reported increases in mental health symptomology and substance use, and decreases in economic stability, food security, and medical care access. Conclusion The findings support the need for extended reach of substance use and mental health-related services, linkage to medical/sexual healthcare, and financial assistance.
在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间,确定女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、变性人、酷儿和质疑+社区的资源需求和经历
历史上,女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、变性人、酷儿和质疑者(LGBTQ+)一直面临着不成比例的经济和健康挑战,这种挑战可能会因2019年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)而进一步加剧。为了向该社区提供支持和公平的资源,确定资源需求和挑战并了解该社区在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间的经验至关重要。材料和方法我们实施了一项在线调查,以检查居住在美国东南部(美国)一个结束人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)流行(EHE)大都市辖区的年龄在18-35岁的LGBTQ+少数群体的经历和需求。结果自2019冠状病毒病发病以来,大多数调查对象报告精神健康症状和药物使用增加,经济稳定性、粮食安全和医疗服务可及性下降。结论研究结果支持扩大药物使用和心理健康相关服务的覆盖范围、与医疗/性保健的联系以及财政援助的必要性。
