Data_Sheet_1_Disparities in the unmet mental health needs between LGBTQ+ and non-LGBTQ+ populations during COVID-19 in the United States from 21 July 2021 to 9 May 2022.docx

BackgroundEvidence highlighted the likelihood of unmet mental health needs (UMHNs) among LGBTQ+ than non-LGBTQ+ populations during COVID-19. However, there lacks evidence to accurately answer to what extent the gap was in UMHN between LGBTQ+ and non-LGBTQ+ populations. We aim to evaluate the difference in UMHN between LGBTQ+ and non-LGBTQ+ during COVID-19.MethodsCross-sectional data from Household Pulse Survey between 21 July 2021 and 9 May 2022 were analyzed. LGBTQ+ was defined based on self-reported sex at birth, gender, and sexual orientation identity. UMHN was assessed by a self-reported question. Multivariable logistic regressions generated adjusted odds ratios (AODs) of UMHN, both on overall and subgroups, controlling for a variety of socio-demographic and economic-affordability confounders.Findings81267 LGBTQ+ and 722638 non-LGBTQ+ were studied. The difference in UMHN between LGBTQ+ and non-LGBTQ+ (as reference) varied from 4.9% (95% CI 1.2–8.7%) in Hawaii to 16.0% (95% CI 12.2–19.7%) in Utah. In multivariable models, compared with non-LGBTQ+ populations, LGBTQ+ had a higher likelihood to report UMHN (AOR = 2.27, 95% CI 2.18–2.39), with the highest likelihood identified in transgender (AOR = 3.63, 95% CI 2.97–4.39); compared with LGBTQ+ aged 65+, LGBTQ+ aged 18–25 had a higher likelihood to report UMHN (AOR = 1.34, 95% CI 1.03–1.75); compared with White LGBTQ+ populations, Black and Hispanic LGBTQ+ had a lower likelihood to report UMHN (AOR = 0.72, 95% CI 0.63–0.82; AOR = 0.85, 95% CI 0.75–0.97, respectively).InterpretationDuring the COVID-19, LGBTQ+ had a substantial additional risk of UMHN than non-LGBTQ+. Disparities among age groups, subtypes of LGBTQ+, and geographic variance were also identified.</p

Table_1_How does people-centered integrated care in medical alliance in China promote the continuity of healthcare for internal migrants: The moderating role of respect.XLS

BackgroundContinuity is crucial to the health care of the internal migrant population and urgently needs improvements in China. Chinese government is committed to promoting healthcare continuity by improving the people-centered integrated care (PCIC) model in medical alliances. However, little is known about the driving mechanisms for continuity.MethodsWe created the questionnaire for this study by processes of a literature research, telephone interviews, two rounds of Delphi consultation. Based on the combination of quota sampling and judgment sampling, we collected 765 valid questionnaires from developed region and developing region in Zhejiang Province. Structural equation models were used to examined whether the attributes of PCIC (namely coordination, comprehensiveness, and accessibility of health care) associated with continuity, and explored the moderated mediating role of respect.ResultsThe result of SEM indicated that coordination had direct effect on continuity, and also had mediating effect on continuity via comprehensiveness and accessibility. The hierarchical linear regression analysis showed that the interactive items of coordination and respect had a positive effect on the comprehensiveness (β = 0.132), indicating that respect has positive moderating effect on the relationship between coordination and comprehensiveness. The simple slope test indicated that in the developed region, coordination had a significant effect on comprehensiveness for both high respect group(β = 0.678) and low respect group (β = 0.508). The moderated mediation index was statistically significant in developed areas(β = 0.091), indicating that respect had moderated mediating effect on the relationship between coordination and continuity via comprehensiveness of healthcare in the developed region; however, the moderated mediation effect was not significant in the developing region.ConclusionSuch regional differences of the continuity promoting mechanism deserve the attention of policy-makers. Governments and health authorities should encourage continuity of healthcare for migrants through improving the elements of PCIC—coordination, comprehensiveness and accessibility of healthcare, shaping medical professionalism of indiscriminate respect, and empowering migrants to have more autonomy over selection of services and decisions about their health.</p
