Negative News Tied to Suicidal Ideation in LGBTQ+ Youth

JAMA Network

About The Study: This intensive longitudinal cohort study found that suicidal ideation intensity modestly increased in the hours immediately following exposure to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer (LGBTQ+) negative news or media among LGBTQ+ young adults. These findings have timely implications for research and intervention, particularly within sociopolitical and geographic contexts where news or media coverage about LGBTQ+ topics is intensified.
