Abstract

The 2016 U.S. Presidential election led to a rise in mental health concerns among marginalized youth. We consider how LGBTQ+ and ally youth responded in Gender-Sexuality Alliances (GSAs). In this secondary analysis, we used survey data to assess for associations between frequency of discussions of the election in GSAs and mental health outcomes. We found that youth in GSAs that discussed the election and its sequelae more frequently reported lower depressive symptoms at the end of the year, but this association held true only for White youth and not racial/ethnic minority youth and only in the 2016 to 2017 academic year and not the 2017 to 2018 academic year. Implications are discussed.

GSA中的大象：2016年美国总统大选讨论与性别性联盟心理健康结果之间的关联

2016年美国总统大选导致边缘化青年对心理健康的担忧加剧。我们考虑LGBTQ+和盟友青年在性别性联盟（GSA）中的反应。在这项二次分析中，我们使用调查数据来评估GSA中讨论选举的频率与心理健康结果之间的关联。我们发现，在讨论选举及其后遗症的GSA中，年轻人在年底更频繁地报告抑郁症状较低，但这种联系仅适用于白人青年，而不适用于种族/少数民族青年，仅在2016至2017学年，而不在2017至2018学年。讨论了影响。
