多种族女同性恋和双性恋青少年女性（MLBAF）容易受到健康和心理健康风险，如抑郁症，自杀，自我伤害，家庭和学校的关注，以及边缘化的“三重危险”造成的压力，但这些风险几乎仍然没有得到研究。根据少数民族压力理论，这项试点研究发现，对于MLBAF样本（n = 116），自我报告的心理健康状况不佳的几率比压力每增加一个单位高出五倍以上，性虐待几乎高出七倍。青少年药物滥用的存在，学术问题和年轻的年龄作出了显着贡献，自我报告的心理健康状况不佳，而高自我效能分数导致显着较少的心理健康问题。实践的影响进行了讨论。
Multiethnic lesbian and bisexual adolescent females (MLBAF) are vulnerable to health and mental health risks, such as depression, suicide, self-harm, family and school concerns, and stress resulting from a "triple jeopardy" of marginalization, yet these risks remain virtually unstudied. Based on minority stress theory, this pilot study found that for a sample of MLBAF (n = 116), the odds of self-reported poor mental health were more than five times higher for each unit increase in stress and almost seven times higher for sexual abuse. The presence of youth substance abuse academic problems and younger age made a significant contribution to poor self-reported mental health while high self-efficacy scores resulted in significantly fewer mental health concerns. Implications for practice are discussed.
