Note. LGBIS = Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Identity Scale. ANCOVA models for physical health problems, mental health problems, and social support control for relevant covariates mentioned in the Analysis Plan section. For the LGBIS subscales, age was controlled for in the internalized homonegativity, identity uncertainty, and acceptance concerns model; race/ethnicity was controlled for in the difficult process and acceptance concerns model; relationship status was controlled for in the internalized homonegativity, identity uncertainty, and concealment motivation models; and employment was controlled for in the difficult process and identity uncertainty models.
