Research on the social dimensions of health and health care among sexual and gender minorities (SGMs) has grown rapidly in the last two decades. However, a comprehensive review of the extant interdisciplinary scholarship on SGM health has yet to be written. In response, we offer a synthesis of recent scholarship. We discuss major empirical findings and theoretical implications of health care utilization, barriers to care, health behaviors, and health outcomes, which demonstrate how SGMs continue to experience structural- and interactional-level inequalities across health and medicine. Within this synthesis, we also consider the conceptual and methodological limitations that continue to beleaguer the field and offer suggestions for several promising directions for future research and theory building. SGM health bridges the scholarly interests in social and health sciences and contributes to broader sociological concerns regarding the persistence of sexuality- and gender-based inequalities.

在过去的 20 年中，对性和性别少数群体 (SGM) 健康和保健的社会层面的研究迅速发展。然而，对现有的 SGM 健康跨学科奖学金的全面审查尚未撰写。作为回应，我们提供了近期奖学金的综合报告。我们讨论了医疗保健利用、医疗障碍、健康行为和健康结果的主要实证研究结果和理论意义，这证明了 SGM 如何继续经历健康和医学领域的结构性和相互作用层面的不平等。在此综合中，我们还考虑了继续困扰该领域的概念和方法学局限性，并为未来研究和理论构建的几个有希望的方向提供建议。
