Lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) college students may have an increased number of health inequities compared to their heterosexual counterparts. However, to date, no research has provided a comprehensive examination of health-related factors by sexual orientation identity and sex among a national sample of college students. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine physical, sexual, interpersonal relations\/safety, and mental health inequities by sexual orientation identity and sex among a national sample of college students.<br \/>\n<em><br \/>\nDesign and methods.<\/em>\u00a0Participants (n=39,767) completed the National College Health Assessment II during the fall 2008\/spring 2009 academic year. Hierarchical binary logistic regression analyses were used to examine health inequities by sexual orientation identity and sex.<br \/>\n<em><br \/>\nResults<\/em>. LGB students compared to heterosexual students, experienced multiple health inequities including higher rates of being verbally threatened and lower rates of physical activity and condom use.<br \/>\n<em><br \/>\nConclusions<\/em>. An understanding of health inequities experienced by LGB college students is critical as during these years of transition, students engage in protective (<em>e.g<\/em>., physical activity) and risky (<em>e.g<\/em>., lack of condom use) health behaviours, establishing habits that could last a lifetime. Future research should be used to design and implement targeted public health strategies and policies to reduce health inequities and improve health-related quality of life among LGB college students.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4081\/jphr.2015.414 Danielle R.
