Note:
SAMs 1.1.1 The main objective of this research project is to create a contextual database that researchers can use to better study the effects of structural stigma on the health of sexual minorities. Importantly, this database will include measures of social and legal climate corresponding to the tract, county, and state levels before or around the time of Waves 3, 4, and 5. This project will also examine with this contextual database how state-level measures of legal climate are causally associated with self-rated health and health biomarkers among Add Health respondents and consider how these associations differ by key factors (e.g., gender, socioeconomic status, and race/ethnicity). Ultimately, this database will promote research on health disparities for sexual minorities that is both rigorous and innovative. Research made possible by the creation of this contextual database has the potential to inform policies and interventions that improve the health of the sexual minority population, and ones that are targeted to specific subgroups of this population, ensuring all populations have equal opportunities for long, healthy, and productive lives.
