More than 40% of transgender adults in the US have attempted suicide

Our new study finds that 81% of transgender adults in the U.S. have thought about suicide, 42% have attempted it, and 56% have engaged in non-suicidal self-injury over their lifetimes. While transgender and cisgender adults report similar rates of hazardous drinking and problematic drug use, transgender people are significantly more likely to experience poor mental health during their lifetimes. Notably, transgender nonbinary adults reported higher rates of harmful drinking and drug use and poor mental health than transgender men and women.
