- Braun and Clarke’s (2006) method for thematic analysis was used to analyze the
interviews.

Arizona State University

- This analysis draws upon 17 in-depth, semi-structured interviews with
adult LGBT participants who reported having attempted suicide as young people.
- Using a sample of extracts drawn from those interviews, we provide a rich understanding of participants’ perceptions of the circumstances that related to their own attempted suicide in youth.
- To be eligible for this study, participants needed to self-identify as LGB or T, be over 18 years of age, and at least 6 months had passed since their last suicide attempt which was judged to be life threatening (whether they had intended to die or not).
