Suicide Prevention for Sexual and Gender Minority Youth

A project funded by the National Institute of Mental Health to develop and test a suicide prevention intervention for sexual and gender minority youth, involving a pilot randomized controlled trial and focusing on public health impact.

Description

The project focuses on adapting and testing an intervention integrating patient navigation with safety planning to prevent suicide among SGM youth and emerging adults. The project aims to evaluate mechanisms such as reductions in thwarted belongingness and increases in suicide-related coping skills. The project involves a pilot randomized controlled trial comparing the intervention to SPI alone. The project emphasizes wide dissemination and public health impact due to the high vulnerability of the target population.
