We aimed to determine whether there are differences between sexual minority women and heterosexual women in family health history knowledge.
We used data from Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation's The Health of Women Study. We included women who completed two of six online surveys between 2012 and 2015 (n = 22,410).
Compared with heterosexual women, bisexual and lesbian women had consistently greater odds of not knowing their family health history (e.g., odds ratios of 2.59 and 1.56 for breast cancer, respectively).
To avoid exacerbating existing health disparities, in the era of precision medicine, we must address gaps in knowledge of family health history.
本研究旨在确定性少数群体女性与异性恋女性在家族健康史知识方面是否存在差异。
本研究使用了 Susan Love 研究基金会《女性健康研究》的在线调查数据。我们纳入了在 2012 年至 2015 年期间完成了六次在线调查中的两次的女性（n=22410）。
与异性恋女性相比，双性恋和女同性恋女性对家族健康史的了解明显较少（例如，乳腺癌的比值比分别为 2.59 和 1.56）。
在精准医疗时代，为避免加剧现有的健康差距，我们必须解决家族健康史知识方面的差距。
