摘要

从2018年到2022年，美国有19个不同的州政府颁布了48部反变性法律（即限制变性人和非二元人权利的法律）。在这项研究中，我们采用差异研究设计，估算了州一级反变性法律对 13-17 岁（n = 35196 人）和 13-24 岁（n = 61240 人）变性和非二元性（TGNB）年轻人自杀风险的因果影响。我们发现，在法律颁布前的一段时间内，预期效应的证据微乎其微。然而，从反变性法律颁布后的第一年开始，在颁布了反变性法律的州，13-17 岁的非同性恋青年在过去一年的自杀未遂率相对于未颁布反变性法律的州有了统计学意义上的显著增长，而从第二年开始，所有非同性恋青年的自杀未遂率也有了显著增长。颁布州一级的反变性法律会使非同性恋青年在过去一年的自杀未遂事件增加 7-72%。我们的研究结果突出表明，有必要考虑近期反变性法律对心理健康的影响，并推进保护性政策。

State-level anti-transgender laws increase past-year suicide attempts among transgender and non-binary young people in the USA

From 2018 to 2022, 48 anti-transgender laws (that is, laws that restrict the rights of transgender and non-binary people) were enacted in the USA across 19 different state governments. In this study, we estimated the causal impact of state-level anti-transgender laws on suicide risk among transgender and non-binary (TGNB) young people aged 13–17 (n = 35,196) and aged 13–24 (n = 61,240) using a difference-in-differences research design. We found minimal evidence of an anticipatory effect in the time periods leading up to the enactment of the laws. However, starting in the first year after anti-transgender laws were enacted, there were statistically significant increases in rates of past-year suicide attempts among TGNB young people ages 13–17 in states that enacted anti-transgender laws, relative to states that did not, and for all TGNB young people beginning in the second year. Enacting state-level anti-transgender laws increased incidents of past-year suicide attempts among TGNB young people by 7–72%. Our findings highlight the need to consider the mental health impact of recent anti-transgender laws and to advance protective policies. From 2018 to 2022, 48 anti-transgender laws were enacted in the USA across 19 states. This study shows that these anti-transgender laws increased past-year suicide attempts among transgender and non-binary young people by as much as 72%.
