Abstract

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), including discrimination, are known risk factors for negative outcomes later in life. Recently, sexual orientation or gender identity (SOGI)-based discrimination was recognized as an ACE. However, its association with health outcomes among youth remains understudied. We aim to identify socio-demographic characteristics associated with caregiver-reported SOGI-based discrimination and assess the association of SOGI-based discrimination with youth health outcomes.

Our Journal covers a broad range of research topics, spanning from the basic biological and behavioral sciences to public health and policy. We welcome a variety of contributions, including original research papers, concise reports, literature reviews, clinical case reports, opinion pieces, and letters to the editor. We encourage professionals from diverse disciplines such as Anthropology, Education, Ethics, Global Health, Health Services Research, Law, Medicine, Mental and Behavioral Health, Nursing, Nutrition, Psychology, Public Health and Policy, Social Work, Sociology, and Youth Development to share their expertise and contribute to our mission of promoting adolescent health. Moreover, we value the voices of young individuals, family and community members, and healthcare professionals, and encourage them to submit poetry, personal narratives, images, and other creative works that provide unique insights into the experiences of adolescents and young adults. By combining scientific peer-reviewed research with creative expressions, our Journal aims to create a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities in adolescent and young adult health.
