Owing to multiple and multilevel ecological factors, sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations exhibit persistent mental health disparities. SGM populations are also at increased risk for never being reached by evidence-based mental health care in real-world settings, which is essential for reducing these disparities. To be maximally effective in reducing these disparities, we must strive to bring our research findings into routine clinical care quickly. Implementation science can help SGM health researchers achieve this goal. This perspective outlines how researchers can use implementation science theories and methods to reduce SGM mental health disparities more efficiently and more durably.
由于多种多层次的生态因素,性少数群体(SGM)和跨性别群体表现出持续存在的心理健康差异。SGM 群体在现实环境中获得循证心理健康护理的机会也较少,而这对于减少这些差异至关重要。为了在减少这些差异方面取得最大成效,我们必须努力尽快将我们的研究结果应用于常规临床护理。实施科学可以帮助 SGM 健康研究人员实现这一目标。本观点概述了研究人员如何利用实施科学理论和方法更有效地减少 SGM 心理健康差异,并使这些差异更持久。
