Abstract

AbstractSuicide is a leading cause of death in emerging adults who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, and/or transgender (LGBT). This study examines discriminatory healthcare experiences and suicidality in LGBT adults, aged 18–24 (n = 90), who completed a health needs assessment in the Southeastern US. Regression indicated that gender identity, gender identity treatment discrimination, and discriminatory behaviors by providers accounted for 29% of variance in past suicide attempt(s). Individuals reporting being blamed for their health status were more likely to report a history of suicide attempts (p = 0.017). Providers need training to provide care competently to LGBT emerging adults.Keywords: LGBTsuicidemental healthhealthcareemerging adults Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Different studies on LGBT disparities have used different comparison groups (e.g., LGB, LGBTQ, LGBT, LGBTQIA+, etc.). An acronym consistent with the cited study’s comparison group will be used throughout.2 Note. We ran the logistic regression without multiple imputation and found similar results to those presented here: the overall model was significant, and blame remained the only significant individual variable in the full model.

LGBT新生成人的自杀倾向和医疗服务提供者的歧视经历

摘要自杀是新兴成年男女同性恋、双性恋和/或变性人(LGBT)死亡的主要原因。本研究调查了美国东南部完成健康需求评估的18-24岁LGBT成年人(n = 90)的歧视性医疗保健经历和自杀倾向。回归表明，性别认同、性别认同治疗歧视和提供者的歧视行为占过去自杀企图方差的29%。报告因健康状况而受到指责的个体更有可能报告自杀未遂史(p = 0.017)。提供服务的人需要接受培训，以胜任地为LGBT新生成人提供护理。关键词:同性恋、双性恋、自杀、心理健康、医疗保健、新生成人披露声明作者未发现潜在的利益冲突。注1不同的LGBT差异研究使用了不同的比较群体(如LGB、LGBTQ、LGBT、LGBTQIA+等)。始终使用与被引用研究的比较组一致的首字母缩略词请注意。我们在没有多重归算的情况下进行了逻辑回归，并发现了与本文相似的结果:整体模型是显著的，而责备仍然是整个模型中唯一显著的个体变量。
