这项研究探讨了性和性别少数群体（SGM）的心理健康服务的障碍，这些人筛查出抑郁症和自杀风险呈阳性。从SGM的在线调查（N = 2778）的数据进行了分析。37.5%符合抑郁症标准，73.6%筛查有自杀风险。获得心理健康服务最常见的障碍是无力支付（62.3%），保险不足（52.2%），倾向于“等待”问题消失（51.5%），不舒服讨论情绪（45.7%），以及对心理健康挑战感到尴尬和羞愧（42.5%）。政策和实践的影响，这些研究结果进行了讨论。
This study examines barriers to mental health services among sexual and gender minorities (SGM) who screened positive for depression and risk of suicide. Data from an online survey of SGM (N = 2778) are analyzed. 37.5% met criteria for depression and 73.6% screened for being at risk of suicide. The most frequently cited barriers to mental health services access were inability to pay (62.3%), insufficient insurance (52.2%), a preference for 'waiting' for the problems to go away (51.5%), discomfort discussing emotions (45.7%), and feeling embarrassed and ashamed about mental health challenges (42.5%). Policy and practices implications of these findings are discussed.
