Limitations of the Study

This study has several limitations.
First, causal inferences cannot be made given cross-sectional data and the Chicago YRBS may not generalize to other locations.
Second, all incidents of victimization are self-reported. Previous research has shown that victimization is largely underreported, thus these results may underestimate the association between victimization and suicidal ideation and behaviors.
Third, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and unsure adolescents were combined due to sample size restrictions but previous research with pooled YRBS data has shown differences in victimization and suicidal ideation and behaviors between sexual minority groups.
