Self-identified lesbian, gay male, and bisexual (LGB) individuals were recruited via convenience sampling, and they in turn recruited their siblings (79% heterosexual, 19% LGB). The resulting sample of 533 heterosexual, 558 lesbian or gay male, and 163 bisexual participants was compared on mental health variables and their use of mental health services. Multilevel modeling analyses revealed that sexual orientation predicted suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, self-injurious behavior, use of psychotherapy, and use of psychiatric medications over and above the effects of family adjustment. Sexual orientation was unrelated to current psychological distress, psychiatric hospitalizations, and self-esteem. This is the 1st study to model family effects on the mental health of LGB participants and their siblings.
通过便利抽样招募了自我认同为女同性恋、男同性恋和双性恋（LGB）的个体，他们又招募了自己的兄弟姐妹（79%为异性恋，19%为LGB）。将最终得到的533名异性恋、558名女同性恋或男同性恋以及163名双性恋参与者的样本，在心理健康变量及其对心理健康服务的使用方面进行了比较。多层次建模分析表明，性取向在家庭适应影响之外，还能预测自杀意念、自杀未遂、自伤行为、心理治疗的使用以及精神科药物的使用。性取向与当前的心理困扰、精神病住院治疗和自尊无关。这是第一项对家庭对LGB参与者及其兄弟姐妹心理健康的影响进行建模的研究。
