This study examined associations between structural racism, anti-LGBTQ policies, and suicide risk among young sexual minority men (SMM). Participants were a 2017–2018 Internet-based U.S. national sample of 497 Black and 1536 White SMM (ages 16–25). Structural equation modeling tested associations from indicators of structural racism, anti-LGBTQ policies, and their interaction to suicide risk factors. For Black participants, structural racism and anti-LGBTQ policies were significantly positively associated with depressive symptoms, heavy drinking, perceived burdensomeness, thwarted belongingness, self-harm, and suicide attempt. There were significant interaction effects: Positive associations between structural racism and several outcomes were stronger for Black participants in high anti-LGBTQ policy states. Structural racism, anti-LGBTQ policies, and their interaction were not significantly associated with suicide risk for White SMM.

黑人性少数男性青少年和新兴成年人中的交叉结构性压迫和自杀倾向


本研究探讨了结构性种族主义、反 LGBTQ 政策与年轻性少数男性 (SMM) 自杀风险之间的关联。参与者是 2017-2018 年基于互联网的美国全国样本，其中包括 497 名黑人和 1536 名白人 SMM（年龄 16-25 岁）。结构方程模型测试了结构性种族主义指标、反 LGBTQ 政策及其与自杀风险因素的相互作用之间的关联。对于黑人参与者来说，结构性种族主义和反 LGBTQ 政策与抑郁症状、酗酒、负担感、归属感受挫、自残和自杀企图显着正相关。存在显着的交互效应：对于高度反 LGBTQ 政策的州的黑人参与者来说，结构性种族主义与一些结果之间的正相关性更强。结构性种族主义、反 LGBTQ 政策及其相互作用与白人 SMM 的自杀风险没有显着相关。
