N2  - PURPOSE: Adolescent suicidal ideation (SI) and nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) are associated with depression, but few studies adequately represent sexual minorities. This study investigated whether the association between SI/NSSI and depression varies by sexual orientation. <br><br>METHOD: SI, NSSI, sexual orientation, and depressive symptoms were measured in a community sample of adolescent girls (n = 1,803). <br><br>RESULTS: Sexual orientation and depression accounted for unique risk for SI and NSSI in logistic regressions. Sexual orientation moderated the association between depression and NSSI. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: Results indicate that depression is a less specific predictor of NSSI among sexual minority adolescents compared to their heterosexual peers and indicate a need for future research to delineate which psychosocial factors better account for NSSI risk. © 2021 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
