TY - JOUR PY - 2021// TI - Differential risks for suicidality and mental health symptoms among transgender, nonbinary, and cisgender sexual minority youth accessing crisis services JO - Transgender health A1 - Srivastava, Ankur A1 - Rusow, Joshua A. A1 - Goldbach, Jeremy T. SP - 51 EP - 56 VL - 6 IS - 1 N2 - PURPOSE: We examined whether health risks among sexual minority youth (SMY) differ by gender identity (transgender, nonbinary, and cisgender).

METHODS: Data were collected on suicide attempts (lifetime and someday), depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and minority stress among SMY accessing crisis services.

RESULTS: In the multivariate regression models, compared to their cisgender peers, transgender and nonbinary youth were at higher risk for suicide attempt (lifetime and someday), depression, and PTSD. Minority stress was a significant predictor for all the models.

CONCLUSION: Crisis service organizations working to reduce suicidality among SMY should be sensitive to diverse experiences of gender identity.
