国际研究表明，同性恋和双性恋男性比一般男性群体存在更多的心理健康问题。此外，有证据表明少数族裔压力预示着同性恋和双性恋男性会出现心理健康问题。本研究的目的是提供有关德国心理健康差异的初步数据并分析少数群体压力的影响。使用缩短版的 SCL-90-S 对 n = 1903 名德国同性恋和双性恋男性以及来自人口样本的 n = 958 名男性的心理健康数据进行了评估。比较两个样本的心理健康状况。此外，对同性恋和双性恋样本进行了线性回归：以心理健康为标准，以少数压力源作为预测因子。与我们的人口样本相比，同性恋和双性恋男性表现出更多的心理健康问题，但影响程度适中。在回归中，少数群体的压力预示着同性恋和双性恋样本中的心理健康问题。我们观察到男同性恋和双性恋男性与人群样本之间存在明显的心理健康差异。这些差异至少部分是由于同性恋和双性恋男性面临的少数压力所致。研究的重点应该是如何减少和应对少数群体的压力。本文的在线版本 (doi:10.1186/s12888-017-1435-7) 包含补充材料，可供授权用户使用。
International studies have revealed that gay and bisexual men present more mental health problems than the general male population. Furthermore, there is evidence that minority stress predicts mental health problems in gay and bisexual men. The aim of the present study is to provide initial data on mental health differences in Germany and to analyze the effect of minority stress. Mental health data on n = 1903 German gay and bisexual men and n = 958 men from a population-based sample were assessed using a shortened version of the SCL-90-S. The mental health of the two samples was compared. Furthermore, a linear regression was conducted for the gay and bisexual sample: mental health was used as the criterion and minority stressors as predictors. As compared to our population sample, gay and bisexual men demonstrated more mental health problems with a moderate effect size. In the regression, minority stress predicted mental health problems in the gay and bisexual sample. We observed pronounced mental health differences between gay and bisexual men versus the population sample. These differences could be at least partly due to the minority stress gay and bisexual men face. Research should focus on how to reduce and cope with minority stress.
