Abstract

= 508) were examined. Overall, LGBTQIA+ adults experienced higher levels of loneliness, depression, and social anxiety than the non-LGBTQIA+ comparison group. LGBTQIA+ adults also reported lower perceived social support and were at higher risk of social isolation than the non-LGBTQIA+ group. Thus, LGBTQIA+ adults may be at greater risk of loneliness and social isolation than has previously been recognized. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved).
