** 📈 Physical dating violence & suicide risk among LGBTQ youth
------------------------------------------------------------

While youth dating violence and youth suicide are both major public health concerns, little research has been conducted on their intersection among LGBTQ youth. Our research shows that LGBTQ youth who experienced physical dating violence in the past year had significantly greater odds of reporting a past-year suicide attempt. Over one-third of LGBTQ youth did not tell anyone about their experience of physical dating violence, with Black LGBTQ youth having the highest rates of not telling anyone.

We know that these experiences can add to the rejection, violence, and prejudice that AAPI LGBTQ young people already face every day, and can increase their risk for negative mental health outcomes such as suicidal ideation.”
