abstract="INTRODUCTION: Sexual minoritized people report worse mental health and are at risk of sexual violence compared to their heterosexual peers. <br><br>METHOD: We conducted a survey to explore sexual stigma, sexual violence, and mental health among 326 bi+ and lesbian women and gender minoritized people age 18-25. <br><br>RESULTS: Mental health did not differ by sexual identity; sexual stigma and violence were associated with negative mental health symptoms, as were identifying as BIPOC, as trans or nonbinary, or having less formal education. <br><br>CONCLUSION: Sexual stigma and violence are related to mental health among young bi+ and lesbian women and gender minoritized people.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
