We aimed to describe the nature and frequency of skin conditions in SGM youth relative to their cisgender\/heterosexual peers and explore adolescents\u2019 attitudes toward their skin health and accessing dermatologic care.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>SGM and cisgender\/heterosexual youth aged 13\u201021\u00a0years seen at Seattle Children's Hospital Adolescent Medicine and Gender clinics from June to December 2019 were invited to participate in this cross\u2010sectional survey study, with subsequent statistical analysis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>One\u2010hundred and eighteen subjects were included in the study. Sexual orientation did not affect how participants personally felt about and cared for their skin, though gender identity did influence this relationship. (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.012) Both sexual and gender minority youth demonstrated a preference for a dermatologist who identified as SGM and would be more likely to actively seek care from these providers. (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a0.001) There was no difference in the reported prevalence of most dermatologic conditions among groups based on sexual orientation or gender identity.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Dermatologists should inquire with adolescent and young adult patients how their sexual orientation and gender identities influence how they view their skin, in an effort to guide counseling and demonstrate holistic support for adolescents. Therapeutic alliances with SGM youth may be strengthened by providers who openly identify as SGM.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/pde.14686","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,17]],"date-time":"2021-07-17T05:57:20Z","timestamp":1626501440000},"page":"65-72","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Influence of gender and sexual identity on adolescent skin health"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"38","author":[{"given":"Isabela","family":"Covelli","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Washington School of Medicine Seattle WA USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kym","family":"Ahrens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Adolescent Medicine Department of Pediatrics University of Washington School of Medicine and Seattle Children's Hospital Seattle WA USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Frankline M.","family":"Onchiri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Core for Biostatistics, Epidemiology, Analytics in Research Seattle Children\u2019s Research Institute Seattle WA USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Inwards\u2010Breland","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Adolescent and Young Adult Medicine University of California San Diego School of Medicine and Rady Children\u2019s Hospital San Diego CA USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7179-5168","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Markus D.","family":"Boos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Dermatology Department of Pediatrics University of Washington School of Medicine and Seattle Children's Hospital Seattle WA USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2018.02.042"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2018.02.045"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/pde.13896"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/pde.13898"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1191\/1478088706qp063oa"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1054-139X(02)00419-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamadermatol.2018.3909"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2020.02.053"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jsm.12366"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamadermatol.2018.0003"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2020.02.013"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/13548506.2015.1093643"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bodyim.2013.09.004"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2018.1623"}],"container-title":["Pediatric Dermatology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/pde.14686","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1111\/pde.14686","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/pde.14686","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,28]],"date-time":"2023-08-28T07:35:23Z","timestamp":1693208123000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/pde.14686"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,16]]},"references-count":14,"journal-issue":{"issue":"S2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2021,11]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/pde.14686"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/pde.14686","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0736-8046","1525-1470"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0736-8046","type":"print"},{"value":"1525-1470","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,16]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2021-07-16","order":2,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
