Abstract

This chapter places health disparities affecting gay and bisexual men within the context of health disparities experienced by other socially marginalized groups in the United States. It defines the population of gay and bisexual men and examines key differences between these men and other socially marginalized groups, including the basis of minority status, intergenerational influences, acquisition of minority status later in life, selective disclosure of minority status, and historical differences. The chapter describes key factors affecting health disparities among gay and bisexual men including socioeconomic status, prejudice and discrimination, laws and policies affecting health, health behavior, and access to health care, and individual behavior and cultural norms in the gay community. The chapter ends by briefly discussing public health efforts to address health disparities.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
