我们使用来自全国代表性样本的数据来检查性取向（身份，吸引力和行为），一生和过去一年的情绪和焦虑症以及性别的3个维度之间的关联。我们分析了全国酒精及相关疾病流行病学调查第2波的数据。心理健康结果因性别、性取向维度和性少数群体而异。尽管男女同性恋或双性恋身份与任何情绪或焦虑障碍的几率较高相关，但一生中仅报告同性性伴侣的女性患大多数疾病的几率最低。性少数男性比性少数女性一生中任何情绪或焦虑障碍的几率都更高。最后，双性恋行为赋予男性和女性任何情绪或焦虑障碍的最高几率。调查结果指出，一些，但不是所有的性少数群体之间的心理健康差异，并强调在以人口为基础的健康研究中包括性取向的多种措施的重要性。
We used data from a nationally representative sample to examine the associations among 3 dimensions of sexual orientation (identity, attraction, and behavior), lifetime and past-year mood and anxiety disorders, and sex. We analyzed data from wave 2 of the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions. Mental health outcomes differed by sex, dimension of sexual orientation, and sexual minority group. Whereas a lesbian, gay, or bisexual identity was associated with higher odds of any mood or anxiety disorder for both men and women, women reporting only same-sex sexual partners in their lifetime had the lowest rates of most disorders. Higher odds of any lifetime mood or anxiety disorder were more consistent and pronounced among sexual minority men than among sexual minority women. Finally, bisexual behavior conferred the highest odds of any mood or anxiety disorder for both males and females. Findings point to mental health disparities among some, but not all, sexual minority groups and emphasize the importance of including multiple measures of sexual orientation in population-based health studies.
