Latinx sexual- and gender- minority (SGM) immigrants experience stress across multiple axes of identity, which can lead to negative health consequences. Using an intersectional–cultural theory of stress, the current study sampled 194 Latinx SGM immigrants to examine the association between intersectional discrimination (i.e., race- and sexual orientation–based), acculturative stress, symptoms related to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and somatic distress. We used moderated hierarchical linear regression analysis to determine whether social support moderated the associations among intersectional discrimination, acculturative stress, and PTSD symptoms. The results showed that after controlling for time in the United States, PTSD symptoms were associated with intersectional discrimination, β = .57, SE = 3.14, p < .001, and acculturative stress, β = .42, SE = 2.47, p < .001, at higher levels of social support. The variability in outcome explained by the variables of interest was approximately 47%. These findings offer important and timely data that can inform future research and clinical applications in this underserved and understudied community.

拉丁裔性和性别少数移民样本中创伤后应激障碍相关症状的检查

拉丁裔性和性别少数族裔 (SGM) 移民在身份的多个轴上承受压力，这可能导致负面的健康后果。本研究使用跨文化压力理论，对 194 名拉丁裔 SGM 移民进行抽样，以检查跨种族歧视（即基于种族和性取向）、文化适应压力、与创伤后应激障碍 (PTSD) 相关的症状和躯体不适。我们使用调节的层次线性回归分析来确定社会支持是否调节了交叉歧视、文化适应压力和 PTSD 症状之间的关联。结果表明，在美国控制时间后，PTSD症状与交叉歧视相关，β= .57，SE= 3.14，p < .001，文化压力，β = .42，SE = 2.47，p < .001，在更高水平的社会支持下。由感兴趣的变量解释的结果变异性约为 47%。这些发现提供了重要和及时的数据，可以为这个服务不足和研究不足的社区的未来研究和临床应用提供信息。
