Journal Article
Researchers examined whether same-sex marriage was associated with nonspecific psychological distress among self-identified lesbian, gay, and bisexual adults, and whether it had the potential to offset mental health disparities between lesbian, gay, and bisexual persons and heterosexuals. Using data from California Health Interview 2009, the authors studied adults ages 18–70 years.
