Posted: 2/14/2024 (CSDE Research)
CSDE Affiliate Kristian Jones (Social Work) recently released an article with co-authors in the Journal of Psychiatric Research, titled “Examining developmental assets of young Black sexual gender minority males in preventing suicidal behaviors“. Black gay and bisexual male adolescents and young adults (BGBMA/YA) are at higher risk for suicidal outcomes given their minoritized and stigmatized identities at the intersection of race and sexual orientation. This study explores key developmental assets, including family support and family communication, and their role in preventing depression symptoms and suicidal outcomes among BGBMA/YA.
