LGBTQ+ youth experience higher rates of suicidal ideation and behavior than their cisgender, heterosexual peers, and these disparities have created a need for academic exploration of the risk factors and protective factors surrounding LGBTQ+ youth suicide (Taliaferro and Muehlenkamp in Acad Pediatr 17:715–722; Toomey et al. in J Youth Adolesc 48:788–801; Ybarra et al. in: Espelage et al. (eds) Youth suicide and bullying: challenges and strategies for prevention and intervention, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2014). This paper reviews the research that has been completed on these topics in the last 10 years. A variety of risk factors have contributed to higher rates of suicidal ideation, attempts, and completion: minority stress, interpersonal constructs, race, transgender identity, partner violence, homelessness, school victimization, and a lack of school support (Joiner in Why people die by suicide, Harvard University Press, Cambridge, 2005; Meyer in Psychol Bull 129:674–697; Mustanski and Liu in Arch Sex Behav 42:437–448; Van Orden et al. in Psychol Rev 117:575–600). Furthermore, a range of protective factors have been connected with lower rates of suicidal ideation and behavior: gender and sexuality alliances, LGBTQ+ inclusive curriculum, LGBTQ+ affirming school policies, familial support, peer support, and mental health interventions (Poteat and Rivers in Youth suicide and bullying: challenges and strategies for prevention and intervention, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2014; Stone et al. in Suicide Life Threat Behav 45:415–430; Whitaker et al. in J Adolesc Health 58:63–68). Areas for future research are recommended, including examining diverse LGBTQ+ subpopulations and developing standard measurements for LGBTQ+ identities. The paper concludes with highlights from the past 10 years of research.

与顺性别、异性恋同龄人相比，LGBTQ+ 青少年的自杀意念和行为发生率更高，这些差异导致需要对围绕 LGBTQ+ 青少年自杀的风险因素和保护因素进行学术探索（Acad Pediatr 中的 Taliaferro 和 Muehlenkamp 17:715-722 ; Toomey et al. in J Youth Adolesc 48:788–801; Ybarra et al. in: Espelage et al. (eds) 青年自杀和欺凌：预防和干预的挑战和策略，牛津大学出版社，牛津，2014 年）。本文回顾了过去 10 年来就这些主题完成的研究。多种风险因素导致自杀意念、企图和完成率更高：少数族裔压力、人际关系结构、种族、跨性别身份、伴侣暴力、无家可归、学校受害、以及缺乏学校支持（Joiner in 为什么人们死于自杀，哈佛大学出版社，剑桥，2005；Meyer 在 Psychol Bull 129：674-697；Mustanski 和 Liu 在 Arch Sex Behav 42：437-448；Van Orden 等. in Psychol Rev 117:575-600)。此外，一系列保护因素与较低的自杀意念和行为率有关：性别和性联盟、LGBTQ+ 包容性课程、LGBTQ+ 肯定学校政策、家庭支持、同伴支持和心理健康干预（Poteat 和 Rivers 在青年自杀和欺凌：预防和干预的挑战和策略，牛津大学出版社，牛津，2014 年；Stone 等人在 Suicide Life Threat Behav 45:415-430；Whitaker 等人在 J Adolesc Health 58:63-68）。建议未来研究的领域，包括检查不同的 LGBTQ+ 亚群和制定针对 LGBTQ+ 身份的标准测量方法。本文最后总结了过去 10 年研究的亮点。
