Effects of Stigma on Health
LGB people who experienced a prejudice-related stressful life event (e.g., assault, being fired from a job) were three times more likely than those who did not to suffer a serious physical health problem over a one-year period (Frost, Lehavot, & Meyer, 2011)
Internalized homophobia, experiencing discrimination, and expectations of rejection, were associated with HIV risk behavior (Hatzenbuehler, Nolen-Hoeksema, & Erickson, 2008)
Enacted and anticipated stigma resulted in approximately a 40% increase in delaying needed urgent and preventive care in a sample of 2,578 FTM trans masculine people. (Reisner et. al. 2015)
