LGBTQ youth in juvenile correctional facilities at high risk for suicide and self-harm
Using data from the Minnesota Student Survey, a statewide population survey of youth, researchers from UCLA, Vanderbilt, Brown, and Yale Universities examined the mental health experiences of LGBTQ and non-LGBTQ youth in juvenile correctional facilities and public schools. Results show that LGBTQ youth are disproportionally represented in juvenile correctional facilities, and they face a significantly greater risk of suicidal ideation, suicide attempt, and self-harm compared to all other groups.

Last chance to fill out the 2022 U.S. Trans Survey

The U.S. Trans Survey was first conducted in 2015 to document the lives and experiences of trans and nonbinary people ages 16+ in the U.S. It is the largest survey of transgender people in the country and has provided the underlying data for numerous Williams Institute reports on the health and well-being of transgender people.

The Williams Institute's Reid Rasmussen Senior Scholar of Public Policy Jody Herman returned as Co-Principle Investigator of the 2022 U.S. Trans Survey, developing survey questions that capture an updated and expanded view of the experiences of transgender people across a wide range of areas, such as education, employment, family life, health, housing, and interactions with police and prisons.

The deadline to complete the U.S. Trans Survey is Monday, December 5.
