To examine the associations between COVID-19-related living arrangements and sexual and gender minority (SGM)-related stressors (ie, identity concealment and familial rejection).
= 478 SGM university students ( = 22 years, = 4.00).
SGM university students were surveyed cross-sectionally between May and August 2020 regarding SGM-related stressors and living arrangements since the start of COVID-19.
Approximately half (48.7%) of the sample reported a living rearrangement to their parents' home due to COVID-19. Living rearrangement to parents' homes was associated with an increased degree of identity concealment (β [95% C.I.] = 0.62 [0.10, 1.15]; = .020) and familial rejection (β [95% C.I.] = 1.56 [0.72, 2.41]; < .001) since the start of COVID-19 compared to stably living without parents (34.3%). Stably living with parents (17.0%) was not associated with increased degree of SGM-related stressors compared to experiencing a living rearrangement.
Stakeholders must consider the unique identity-related vulnerabilities of SGM students living with parents and who experience living rearrangements due to COVID-19.
探讨与 COVID-19 相关的生活安排与性少数群体（SGM）相关压力源（即身份隐瞒和家庭排斥）之间的关联。
478 名 SGM 大学生（年龄=22 岁， =4.00）。
2020 年 5 月至 8 月期间，SGM 大学生通过横断面调查，就 COVID-19 期间 SGM 相关压力源和生活安排进行了调查。
约一半（48.7%）的样本因 COVID-19 而将生活重新安排到父母家。与稳定居住在父母家的学生相比（34.3%），生活重新安排到父母家与身份隐瞒程度增加（β [95% C.I.] = 0.62 [0.10, 1.15]； =.020）和家庭排斥（β [95% C.I.] = 1.56 [0.72, 2.41]； <.001）相关，而稳定居住在父母家（17.0%）与 SGM 相关压力源的增加程度无关。
利益相关者必须考虑因 COVID-19 而与父母同住和经历生活重新安排的 SGM 学生独特的身份相关脆弱性。
