'Coming out', Stigma and Support: Distress and Health Consequences among Sexual Minorities within a Stress Process Model Framework

Drawing from a framework informed by the stress process model, this paper aims to examine the stressful experiences of sexual minorities. Its results draw attention to largely chronic and non-event stressors rooted in social norms and stigma, and link health consequences, including behavioural dysfunctions and habits of substance abuse, to the diminishment of coping resources. I conclude by highlighting the limitations of this study and trajectories for future development in this nascent area of sexual minority stress as conceived by the stress process model.
