abstract="BACKGROUND: Most of the information in Chile about health and wellbeing of sexual minorities refers to risk behaviors. <br><br>AIM: To assess health and wellbeing in a sample of Chilean homosexual men and women. Material and Methods: Spanish versions of the Satisfaction With Life Scale and Outcome Questionnaire-45 (OQ-45) were answered by 191 homosexual women and 256 homosexual men aged 18 to 67 years, from four Chilean cities. <br><br>RESULTS: Lesbian women have better levels of satisfaction with life and adjustment in personal relationships than homosexual men. Eight percent of respondents had suicidal thoughts in some moment of their life. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: The information gathered in this work could help in the development of mental health policies for sexual minorities.<p /><p>Language: es</p>",
