“…A high degree of methodological heterogeneity characterizes the definition of SGM groups. While most studies used self-identified sexual orientation (Seelman, 2019 ; Brown and Patterson, 2020 ; Nelson and Andel, 2020 ; Flatt et al, 2021 ; Hsieh et al, 2021 ; Saunders et al, 2021 ; Stinchcombe and Hammond, 2021 , 2023 ; Fredriksen-Goldsen et al, 2022 ; Brown et al, 2023 ; Hopper et al, 2023 ; Stinchcombe et al, 2023 ; Yang et al, 2024 ), some focused on either sexual attraction (Manca and Venneri, 2023 ) or same-sex relationships (Perales-Puchalt et al, 2019 ; Manca and Venneri, 2020 ; Liu et al, 2021 ; Manca et al, 2022 ; Correro et al, 2023 ; Hanes and Clouston, 2023 ) due to lack of detailed SOGI data. Gender minorities have been identified by using either self-reported identity (Brady et al, 2023 ; Cicero et al, 2023 ; Saunders et al, 2023 ) or by selecting people with gender identity disorders who accessed gender-affirming care (Guo et al, 2022 ; Hughto et al, 2023 ; Jasuja et al, 2023 ).…”
