Abstract

We aimed to analyze the factors associated with depression among LGBT + people exposed to discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity in Peru. We conducted secondary analysis on a subset ((Formula presented.) 5846) of cases from an online survey of LGBT + people. Individual (age, work status, prior mental health conditions, identity expression fear), structural (forms, agents, and contexts of discrimination), social (family support, relationship status, community participation, activism, knowledge of LGBT + laws), and institutional (sexual health information) variables were associated with depression in our sample. Mental health inequalities are driven by multiple intersecting layers of social factors across individual, structural, social, and institutional levels.
