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.

利用国家性和性别少数群体危机服务的性和性别少数群体青年的特征和看法。

背景:性和性别少数青年(SGMY)有较高的自杀风险;然而,我们对他们在使用危机服务时的经历知之甚少。目的:本研究的目的是了解 SGMY 在接触 SGMY 特定的自杀危机服务时的特征和经历。方法:数据来自 592 名 SGMY,他们联系了使用最广泛的美国 SGMY 特定危机服务提供商。结果:记录了自杀意念(65.2%)和企图(31.9%)的高发生率,少数性别青年赞同更高的自杀企图率。参与者通过电话(57.8%)与在线聊天/短信(42.2%)联系更多。参与者报告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很有帮助。辅导员被认为是热情、富有同情心的,并且对 SGMY 的共同关注点知识渊博,他们很可能会再次联系危机中心。参与者报告说通过电话使用聊天/文本,因为它为他们提供了更多的机密性和隐私;然而,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,限制了结果的普遍性。结论:SGMY 报告了国家 SGMY 特定危机服务的积极经验。调查结果强调了针对 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,他们很可能会再次联系危机中心。参与者报告说通过电话使用聊天/文本,因为它为他们提供了更多的机密性和隐私;然而,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,限制了结果的普遍性。结论:SGMY 报告了国家 SGMY 特定危机服务的积极经验。调查结果强调了针对 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,他们很可能会再次联系危机中心。参与者报告说通过电话使用聊天/文本,因为它为他们提供了更多的机密性和隐私;然而,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,限制了结果的普遍性。结论:SGMY 报告了国家 SGMY 特定危机服务的积极经验。调查结果强调了针对 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,限制了结果的普遍性。结论:SGMY 报告了国家 SGMY 特定危机服务的积极经验。调查结果强调了针对 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,限制了结果的普遍性。结论:SGMY 报告了国家 SGMY 特定危机服务的积极经验。调查结果强调了针对 SGMY 的自杀预防危机服务的迫切需求和实用性。
