Abstract

Suicide among sexual minority adults is a serious public health issue. Data from the National Survey of Drug Use and Health (2015–2018) were analyzed to evaluate factors associated with past-year suicidality risk (thoughts, plans, or attempts) and self-reported sexual identity. Findings support previous research that sexual minority groups have a higher risk of suicidality compared to heterosexuals. Additionally, significant within-group gender differences were found for bisexuals with reported past-year suicide attempts. The risk ratio trajectory from suicidal ideation to suicidal attempt was the most striking for the gay and lesbian group compared to other populations. Implications and recommendations for future research are discussed.

摘要

性少数成年人中的自杀是一个严重的公共卫生问题。分析了《全国药物使用和健康调查》（2015-2018年）中的数据，以评估与过去一年自杀倾向（思想，计划或尝试）和自我报告的性身份相关的因素。研究结果支持以前的研究，即与异性恋者相比，性少数群体具有更高的自杀倾向。此外，据报道，去年自杀未遂的双性恋者在组内性别上存在显着差异。与其他人群相比，从自杀观念到自杀企图的风险比轨迹对于男女同性恋者最为显着。讨论了对未来研究的影响和建议。
