The present study is an examination of mental health between lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, and questioning students at faith based colleges/universities (FBCU) and the general college/university population (GCUP), which includes mostly non-faith based colleges/universities (NFBCU) as well as some FBCU. Current literature on this topic is sparse. Aspects of mental health assessed in this study were depression, social anxiety, family distress, and eating concerns. Data for Group 1, sexual minority students (SMS) who attend FBU, came from published work by Wolff, Himes, Soares, and Miller Kwon (2016) and consisted of 213 participants. While data from a previously published study by McAleavey, Castonguay, and Locke (2011) were used for Group 2, sexual minority college/university students in the GCUP. Their study consisted of 17,009 participants. For both studies, mental health variables were captured using the mean scores of the Counseling Center Assessment of Psychological Symptoms-62 (CCAPS-62). Mean scores were analyzed through a single-sample t-test comparing scores between Group 1 and Group 2. On the depression scale, gay and bisexual FBCU students reported statistically significant higher levels than their GCUP counterparts. On the eating concerns scale, gay FBCU students also had statistically significant higher levels of eating concern than gay students in the GCUP. Family distress was found to be significantly higher in the FBCU sample than the GCUP sample across all identities, except individuals questioning their sexual orientation. FBCU students reported a statistically significant greater level of social anxiety than their counterparts in the GCUP sample. The study yielded multiple implications and future directions for the field such as the continued advocacy for more inclusive institutional polices that can protect SMS. This also includes requiring FBCU mental health clinicians to receive training focused on the experiences of sexual minorities. In terms of research, future studies are suggested to investigate differences in internalized homophobia in SMS at FBCU and the GCUP. Additionally, researchers are encouraged to expand the scope of this study to include the experiences of transgender and gender non-conforming students, as well as people of color who identify as a sexual minority and attend FBCU.
