Justification for this Study
- Suicide is the second leading cause of death for adolescents aged 10–19 years old in the United States (U.S.).
- Among young people in the U.S., sexual minority youth (SMY), i.e., young people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer or unsure, or who report same-sex attractions or behaviors, are significantly more likely to report suicidal ideation and attempts than are heterosexual youth (HY).
- Several theories have been developed to explain health disparities among sexual minority populations. Chief among these is Minority Stress Theory.
