Across the world, people have seen their lives interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Using an online survey, we explored how the psychosocial effects of the pandemic affected the mental health of LGBTQ+ young adults who were confined with their parents during the lockdown period ( = 1,934), from six countries: Portugal, UK, Italy, Brazil, Chile, and Sweden. South American participants experienced more negative psychosocial effects of the pandemic. Depression and anxiety were higher among participants who were younger, not working, living in Europe and who reported feeling more emotionally affected by the pandemic, uncomfortable at home, or isolated from non-LGBTQ friends. Not attending higher education predicted depression while not being totally confined at home, residing habitually with parents, and fearing more future infection predicted anxiety. LGBTQ+ community groups, as well as health and educational services should remain particularly attentive to the needs of LGBTQ+ young adults during health crises.
在世界各地，人们的生活都因 COVID-19 大流行而中断。我们通过在线调查，探讨了大流行的心理社会影响如何影响封锁期间与父母一起被隔离的 LGBTQ+青年成年人的心理健康（=1934 人），参与者来自六个国家：葡萄牙、英国、意大利、巴西、智利和瑞典。南美参与者经历了更多的大流行的负面心理社会影响。在年轻人、失业者、居住在欧洲以及报告受大流行情绪影响更大、在家感到不适或与非 LGBTQ 朋友隔离的参与者中，抑郁和焦虑的比例更高。未接受高等教育预测抑郁，而未完全居家隔离、习惯与父母同住以及更担心未来感染预测焦虑。在卫生危机期间，LGBTQ+社区团体以及卫生和教育服务机构应特别关注 LGBTQ+青年成年人的需求。
