Sexual and Gender Minority University Students in the Wake of COVID-19: Unique Risks and Opportunities for Intervention
Caroline C. Kaufman; Tracy Hipp
Journal of American College Health, v72 n9 p3074-3078 2024
Emerging adulthood is a critical period of development as individuals explore their identities and embark on developmental trajectories. Emerging adulthood may be an especially important period for sexual and gender minority (SGM) individuals as they explore, learn, and seek out communities related to their sexuality and gender identity. College is a unique setting in which SGM students may have access to physical and mental healthcare, secure food and housing, and affirming spaces and community related to their identity. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has interrupted or ended many of the services and resources provided by colleges and universities, potentially exacerbating challenges faced by sexual and gender minority students. This article provides recommendations for colleges and universities to improve access to and mitigate potentially negative outcomes among SGM students during and in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
