Sexual minorities are not a homogeneous population: health disparity differences based on residence in rural versus urban settings

CONCLUSION: Rural-dwelling bisexual women experience elevated likelihood for physical health conditions compared to urban-dwelling bisexual women, but few other rural populations experience elevated risk. Urban gay men, meanwhile, are more likely to possess insurance but simultaneously experience worse health outcomes across several domains of diseases, suggesting lower utilization of healthcare services. Future research should strive to avoid pooling all SMs into a single risk group as we have clearly demonstrated that strong differences exist based on both sex and rural/urban status.PMID:37643608 | DOI:10.22605/RRH8052
