N2  - This study examined differences in suicidal behavior between lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ) and non-LGBTQ university students as well as investigated the importance of risk and protective factors in the prediction of suicidality between these two groups. A total of 1,205 university students participated in the survey. <br><br>FINDINGS show, compared to non-LGBTQ respondents, sexual minority youth are at a greater risk for serious suicidal ideation (8.9% versus 23%, respectively) and suicide attempt (3.5% versus 26.2%). Among LGBTQ respondents, significant risk covariates for suicidality were depressive symptoms, socioeconomic status, being bullied, age, and childhood trauma. The only significant protective factor was self-esteem.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
