Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Background: LGB people experience a large number of anxiety and mood disorders, and risk behaviors than heterosexual (Marshall et al., 2011). The evidence points to the importance played by the stress of minorities in the development of such problems (Bränstrom, Hatzenbuehler, Pachankis and Link, 2016).

Objective: The present study aims to adapt and analyze the efficacy of the ESTEEM program designed for this population (Burton, Wang and Pachankis, in press) in: 1) the reduction of psychopathological symptoms, abusive alcohol consumption and risky sexual behavior, 2 ) the decrease in the level of stress, anxiety for rejection, internalized homophobia and level of concealment, and finally, 3) the improvement of assertiveness levels. The effect of the variables social support, emotional regulation strategies and rumination will be analyzed.

Method: A quasi-experimental design will be used, where the LGB people (n = 63, 18\<) will be assigned to the experimental group (immediate treatment), or to the control group (three-month waitlist). At baseline, 3-month, 6-month and 12-month assessments, participants completed self-reports of mental health and minority stress.

Results: It is expected that after treatment, LGB people mental health will be improved, as well as, minority stress will be reduced.
