Sexual minority (20.0% vs 9.4%; adjusted rate ratio [aRR] = 1.58; 95% CI, 1.49-1.67, <i>P</i> <0.001) and gender minority adults (34.4% vs 10.3%; aRR = 2.00; 95% CI, 1.79-2.21, <i>P</i> <0.001) were significantly more likely than their non-SGM counterparts to report care avoidance due to PCID. Exposure to health care discrimination was also more prevalent in this population and was dose-dependently associated with significantly higher rates of PCID-based care avoidance.
