However, there is a paucity of published research about how cancer survivors' health behaviors and self-rated health vary by sexual orientation. This study examined cancer survivors' health behaviors and self-reported health by sexual orientation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2001\u20132010. Self-reported health and cancer-related health behaviors were compared by sexual orientation. Propensity score adjustment was used to account for differences in age, race, education, gender and health insurance status.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of the 602 survivors eligible for the study, 4.3% identified as sexual minorities. Sexual minorities were 2.6 times more likely to report a history of illicit drug use (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]=2.4, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.04, 5.35), and 60% less likely to report their current health status as good (aOR=0.40, 95% CI: 0.18, 0.89), compared to heterosexual cancer survivors. These disparities persisted even after adjustment for socio-demographic characteristics.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our findings suggest that sexual minority cancer survivors may be at greater risk for poorer outcomes after cancer than other survivors. A possible explanation for the observed differences involves minority stress. Future research should test stress as an explanation for these differences. However, using population-methods to achieve this goal requires larger samples of lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) cancer survivors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1089\/lgbt.2014.0038","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,12,9]],"date-time":"2015-12-09T11:19:43Z","timestamp":1449659983000},"page":"41-47","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Health Behaviors and Self-Reported Health Among Cancer Survivors by Sexual Orientation"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"2","author":[{"given":"Jennifer M.","family":"Jabson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Tennessee"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Grant W.","family":"Farmer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Washington University"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Deborah J.","family":"Bowen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Washington School of Medicine"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,2,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","volume-title":"Cancer Facts & Figures, 2012","author":"American Cancer Society","year":"2012","unstructured":"American Cancer Society: Cancer Facts & Figures, 2012.
