Abstract
The present study used an intersectional, social determinants approach to examine whether an individual’s identities, psychosocial stressors, and health behaviors predicted perceived health. Findings illuminate which populations may be at risk for health disparities due to marginalized identity status(es), experiencing psychosocial stress, and lack of positive health-related behaviors.
