Description:Objective:
To examine the associations between COVID-19-related living arrangements and sexual and gender minority (SGM)-related stressors (i.e., identity concealment and familial rejection).
Participants:
N= 478 SGM university students (Mage=22 years, SD=4.00)
Methods:
SGM university students were surveyed cross-sectionally between May-August 2020 regarding SGM-related stressors and living arrangements since the start of COVID-19.
Results:
Approximately half (48.7%) of the sample reported a living rearrangement to their parents’ home due to COVID-19. Living rearrangement to parents’ homes was associated with an increased degree of identity concealment (β[95%C.I.]=0.62[0.10, 1.15]; p=0.020) and familial rejection (β[95%C.I.]=1.56[0.72, 2.41]; p<0.001) since the start of COVID-19 compared to stably living without parents (34.3%). Stably living with parents (17.0%) was not associated with increased degree of SGM-related stressors compared to experiencing a living rearrangement.
Conclusions:
Stakeholders must consider the unique identity-related vulnerabilities of SGM students living with parents and who experience living rearrangements due to COVID-19.
