This project is an ancillary study to CARDIA to collect sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) data as well as measures of SGM stigma and resilience promoting factors in the Year 35 CARDIA exam. Through an innovative collaboration, we also propose to pool CARDIA data with data from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study on Latinos (HCHS/SOL) cohort to address the following compelling and timely Specific Aims: Aim 1: Assess how behavioral and clinical CVD risk factors vary by SGM status over the life course. Aim 2: Among SGM participants (n=734), investigate how stigma and resilience promoting factors at the internalized and interpersonal levels associated with behavioral and clinical CVD risk factors. Aim 3: Determine the influence of SGM structural stigma on behavioral and clinical CVD risk factors. Overall, the impact of these studies will be to advance CVD epidemiology and to enhance the evidence base to ameliorate SGM CVD health disparities and promote SGM CVD health equity at the intersections of multiple marginalized identities.
