A series of multivariate regression models that control for sociodemographic factors (sex assigned at birth, race/ethnicity, education, age, and income) and well-established indicators of minority stress (felt stigma, enacted stigma) suggest that nonbinary gender identity is independently associated with poor mental health (assessed with the Global Severity Index), and that this association is mediated by invalidation.

Little is known about how both partners' sexual minority stressors impact alcohol consumption in a dyadic context, and even less research has considered these effects at the day-level. This study utilizes dyadic daily diary data to test associations of each partner's sexual minority stress events with drinking outcomes (day-level alcohol use, heavy episodic drinking [HED], and estimated blood alcohol content [eBAC]) among women in same-gender relationships (<i>N =</i> 159 couples). Because high-quality relationships may buffer adverse effects of minority stress on alcohol use outcomes, effect modification was also considered. Results differed across alcohol use outcomes.

Further, when participants were exposed to more COVID news, they experienced <i>subsequent</i> increases in depressed affect, decreases in positive affect, and increases in the likelihood of using cannabis to cope. Findings also provided evidence of bi-directional prospective associations between COVID news exposure and COVID distress and of a cumulative impact of COVID news exposure on anxiety, depression, and COVID distress.
