与顺性异性恋人口相比，性少数群体和性别少数群体在身体健康、心理健康和社会经济地位方面都处于劣势。但现有的人口研究倾向于使用客观衡量标准，忽略主观衡量标准，孤立地检查幸福结果，缺乏关于研究较少但可能更不利的SGM群体的信息，如酷儿、变性人和非二元/性别酷儿个人。在本文中，我们使用盖洛普的国民健康和福祉指数(NHWI)，该指数允许识别更广泛的SGM社区群体。我们使用二元关联和普通最小二乘(OLS)回归模型来检验幸福感在五个维度上的差异：(1)生活目的；(2)社区归属感；(3)身心健康；(4)经济幸福感；(5)社会联系。结果揭示了大多数SGM群体的明显劣势；这些劣势在双性恋、同性恋和非二元/性别酷儿群体中最为明显。群体间和群体内的差异揭示了幸福感方面的差异，这比之前的研究发现的更大，使我们更接近人口层面上SGM幸福感的整体概况。
Sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations experience physical health, mental health, and socioeconomic status disadvantages relative to cisgender heterosexual populations. But extant population research tends to use objective measures and ignore subjective measures, examines well-being outcomes in isolation, and lacks information on less well-studied but possibly more disadvantaged SGM groups such as queer, transgender, and non-binary/genderqueer individuals. In this paper, we use Gallup’s National Health and Well-being Index (NHWI), which permits identification of a broader group of the SGM community. We estimate bivariate associations and Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression models to examine differentials on five dimensions of well-being: (1) life purpose; (2) community belonging; (3) physical and mental health; (4) financial well-being; and (5) social connectedness. Results reveal stark disadvantages for most SGM groups; these disadvantages are most pronounced among bisexual, queer, and non-binary/genderqueer populations. Inter- and intra-group variations illuminate even greater disparities in well-being than prior research has uncovered, bringing us closer to a holistic profile of SGM well-being at the population level.
