abstract="Prevalence of suicide attempts, self-injurious behaviors, and associated psychosocial factors were examined in a clinical sample of transgender (TG) adolescents and emerging adults (n = 96). Twenty-seven (30.3%) TG youth reported a history of at least one suicide attempt and 40 (41.8%) reported a history of self-injurious behaviors. There was a higher frequency of suicide attempts in TG youth with a desire for weight change, and more female-to-male youth reported a history of suicide attempts and self-harm behaviors than male-to-female youth. <br><br>FINDINGS indicate that this population is at a high risk for psychiatric comorbidities and life-threatening behaviors.<br><br>© 2016 The American Association of Suicidology.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
