This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.
In this cohort study of veterans screened for food insecurity, LGBQ+ veterans and those with "don't know" responses for sexual orientation experienced food insecurity at nearly 2.5 times the rate of heterosexual veterans. While risk factors for food insecurity were similar across groups, LGBQ+ veterans faced a higher prevalence of particular risks, including homelessness and several mental health and trauma-related comorbidities. Future work should examine targeted screening and interventions tailored to identifying and addressing food insecurity in this population, given their increased vulnerability and burden of food insecurity.
