SGM often navigate a complex intersection of identities, experiences, and stressors that can contribute to mental health disparities. However, they often lack access to appropriate support and resources tailored to their needs, which can result in increased psychological distress. Drop-in centers are effective mental health interventions for marginalized communities. Therefore, we conducted a study to explore the healthcare access experiences and mental health outcomes of young adult SGM compared to their non-SGM counterparts.</p></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><p>We surveyed 151 young adults aged 18–25 who visited two drop-in centers for young adults experiencing homelessness in Houston, Texas, between October and November 2018.

AYA and caregivers often struggle to adapt to adult care settings resulting from a lack of preparedness and difficulties accessing services to manage their health conditions.
