We investigated the associations between social marginalization, psychosocial health, and religiosity among sexual minority men (SMM) in Nigeria (N = 406). We conducted bivariate and multivariable logistic regression. Factors associated with reporting a history of conversion therapy at a religious institution were: being HIV positive, having depressive symptoms, reporting suicide thoughts, and reporting inability to access medical care. Factors associated with increased odds of agreeing that sex between two men was a sin were: residing in Plateau, being Muslim, and higher levels of internalized homophobia. Our findings support the need for LGBT-affirming religious doctrine, which has implications for the health of LGBT communities.
我们调查了尼日利亚性少数群体男性(SMM)中的社会边缘化、心理健康和宗教信仰之间的关联(N=406)。我们进行了双变量和多变量逻辑回归。与报告在宗教机构接受过转化疗法的历史相关的因素有:HIV 阳性、有抑郁症状、报告有自杀念头和报告无法获得医疗护理。与增加同意“两个男人之间的性行为是一种罪过”的可能性相关的因素有:居住在高原州、是穆斯林和更高水平的内化恐同。我们的研究结果支持需要制定对 LGBT 友好的宗教教义,这对 LGBT 社区的健康具有重要意义。
