Background: Sexual and gender minority youth (SGMY) have heightened risk of suicidality; yet, we know little about their experiences when utilizing crisis services. Aims: The purpose of this study was to understand the characteristics and experiences of SGMY when in contact with SGMY-specific suicide crisis services. Method: Data were from 592 SGMY who contacted the most widely utilized national US SGMY-specific crisis services provider. Results: High rates of suicide ideation (65.2%) and attempts (31.9%) were documented, with gender minority youth endorsing higher rates of suicide attempts. Participants contacted the center by phone (57.8%) more than by online chat/text (42.2%). Participants reported discussing their sexual orientation (60.6%), gender identity (43.8%), and identity disclosure stress (56.6%) with counselors. Participants rated the crisis service as helpful. The counselors were perceived as warm, compassionate, and knowledgeable about common concerns for SGMY and they were likely to contact the crisis center again. Participants reported using chat/text over phone because it provided them with more confidentiality and privacy; however, phone contacts were rated more positively than text/chat. Limitations: The sample was predominately White and was not representative of the broader population of SGMY, limiting the generalizability of the results. Conclusion: SGMY reported positive experiences with a national SGMY-specific crisis service. The findings highlight the critical need for and utility of SGMY-specific suicide prevention crisis services.

利用针对全国性和性别少数群体的危机服务的性与性别少数群体的青年的特征和看法。

背景:性少数和性少数年轻人(SGMY)自杀的风险较高;但是,我们对他们使用危机服务时的经验知之甚少。目的:本研究的目的是了解与SGMY特定的自杀危机服务联系时SGMY的特征和经验。方法:数据来自592 SGMY,该公司联系了使用最广泛的美国国家SGMY特定危机服务提供商。结果:记录的自杀意念率(65.2%)和未遂率(31.9%)均较高,其中性别少数族裔青年支持较高的自杀率。参加者通过电话联系该中心的比例为57.8%,高于通过在线聊天/短信进行联系的比例为42.2%。参与者报告说,他们与辅导员讨论了他们的性取向(60.6%),性别认同(43.8%)和身份披露压力(56.6%)。参与者认为危机服务是有帮助的。咨询师被认为对SGMY的共同关心非常热情,富有同情心并且知识渊博,他们很可能会再次与危机中心联系。参与者报告使用电话聊天/文本,因为它为他们提供了更多的保密性和隐私性;但是,电话联系人的评价比文字/聊天更积极。局限性:样本主要是白人,不能代表更广泛的SGMY人群,从而限制了结果的推广性。结论:SGMY报告了针对特定国家的SGMY危机服务的积极经验。研究结果突显了针对SGMY的自杀预防危机服务的迫切需求和实用性。并且了解SGMY的常见问题,因此他们很可能会再次与危机中心联系。参与者报告使用电话聊天/文本,因为它为他们提供了更多的保密性和隐私性;但是,电话联系人的评价比文字/聊天更积极。局限性:样本主要是白人,不能代表更广泛的SGMY人群,从而限制了结果的推广性。结论:SGMY报告了针对特定国家的SGMY危机服务的积极经验。研究结果突显了针对SGMY的自杀预防危机服务的迫切需求和实用性。并且了解SGMY的常见问题,因此他们很可能会再次与危机中心联系。参与者报告使用电话聊天/文本,因为它为他们提供了更多的保密性和隐私性;但是,电话联系人的评价比文字/聊天更积极。局限性:样本主要是白人,不能代表更广泛的SGMY人群,从而限制了结果的推广性。结论:SGMY报告了针对特定国家的SGMY危机服务的积极经验。研究结果突显了针对SGMY的自杀预防危机服务的迫切需求和实用性。电话联系人的评价比文字/聊天更积极。局限性:样本主要是白人,不能代表更广泛的SGMY人群,从而限制了结果的推广性。结论:SGMY报告了针对特定国家的SGMY危机服务的积极经验。研究结果突显了针对SGMY的自杀预防危机服务的迫切需求和实用性。电话联系人的评价比文字/聊天更积极。局限性:样本主要是白人,不能代表更广泛的SGMY人群,从而限制了结果的推广性。结论:SGMY报告了针对特定国家的SGMY危机服务的积极经验。研究结果突显了针对SGMY的自杀预防危机服务的迫切需求和实用性。
