This study analyzed the content of 125 unique reports published since 1990 that have examined the health and well-being-as well as the interpersonal and contextual experiences-of sexual minority youth of color (SMYoC). One-half of reports sampled only young men, 73% were noncomparative samples of sexual minority youth, and 68% of samples included multiple racial-ethnic groups (i.e., 32% of samples were mono-racial/ethnic). Most reports focused on health-related outcomes (i.e., sexual and mental health, substance use), while substantially fewer attended to normative developmental processes (i.e., identity development) or contextual and interpersonal relationships (i.e., family, school, community, or violence). Few reports intentionally examined how intersecting oppressions and privileges related to sexual orientation and race-ethnicity contributed to outcomes of interest. Findings suggest that research with SMYoC has been framed by a lingering deficit perspective, rather than emphasizing normative developmental processes or cultural strengths. The findings highlight areas for future research focused on minority stress, coping, and resilience of SMYoC.
本研究分析了自1990年以来发表的125份独特报告的内容，这些报告探讨了有色性少数青年（SMYoC）的健康与幸福状况，以及他们的人际和背景经历。其中一半的报告仅抽样了年轻男性，73%的样本是非比较性的性少数青年样本，68%的样本包括多个种族/族裔群体（即32%的样本是单一种族/族裔）。大多数报告关注与健康相关的结果（即性健康和心理健康、物质使用），而关注规范性发展过程（即身份认同发展）或背景及人际关系（即家庭、学校、社区或暴力）的报告则少得多。很少有报告有意研究与性取向和种族/族裔相关的交叉压迫和特权如何影响相关结果。研究结果表明，对有色性少数青年的研究一直受持续存在的缺陷视角的影响，而不是强调规范性发展过程或文化优势。这些发现突出了未来研究的重点领域，即关注有色性少数青年的少数群体压力、应对方式和恢复力。
