N2  - LGB+ (i.e., sexual orientations other than heterosexual) individuals are more likely than heterosexual individuals to experience interpersonal trauma (IPT) and minority stress related to their sexual orientation. IPT and minority stress may lead to symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and a need to seek help. The present study examined the relationship between experiences of minority stress, help-seeking behaviors, and PTSD symptomology in a sample of 338 LGB + individuals with a history of IPT. <br><br>RESULTS reveal increased levels of help-seeking behaviors were associated with lower levels of PTSD symptomology whereas increased acceptance concerns were associated with higher levels of PTSD symptomology.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
