Abstract
This prospective, longitudinal study explored the impact of changing reported sexual orientation on demographics, depression, and anxiety in college students (N=1,327). Students who did and did not change their sexual orientation between any two years were compared. No significant differences in mental health were found, but demographics differences were observed.
