摘要

Objective: Although Black, Latino, and multiracial gay and bisexual men (GBM) are disproportionately affected by psychological and behavioral health inequities facing GBM more broadly in the United States (Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, 2017), there is a dearth of research examining how their experiences of intersectional stigma contribute to these trends. Based in minority stress and intersec-tionality theories, this study examined the main and intersectional effects of racial discrimination and gay rejection sensitivity on emotion regulation difficulties, depressive and anxiety symptoms, and later drug use and heavy drinking. Method: We collected longitudinal data from 170 GBM of Black, Latino, or multiracial descent. Measurements included baseline racial discrimination, gay rejection sensitivity, and emotion regulation difficulties, 6-month depressive and anxiety symptoms, and baseline to 12-month heavy drinking and drug use. We analyzed data using longitudinal structural equation models. Results: Our results indicated that racial discrimination and its interaction with gay rejection sensitivity were significantly associated with higher levels of emotion regulation difficulties, which predicted higher levels of depressive and anxiety symptoms at 6 months, which, in turn, predicted higher levels of heavy drinking, but not drug use, at 12 months. Moreover, the total indirect effect from the stigma variables to heavy drinking was statistically significant. Conclusions: These findings indicate that it is critical for researchers and clinicians to consider the effects of intersecting racial and sexual minority stigma on emotion regulation in the persistence of psychological and behavioral health inequities facing Black, Latino, and multiracial GBM.
