Article Synopsis
- LGBQ middle schoolers face significant behavioral health challenges, with a quarter of surveyed students identifying as LGBQ reporting poorer mental health and higher suicidal behaviors compared to their heterosexual peers.
- This study used data from the 2021 New Mexico Middle School Youth Risk and Resiliency Survey, involving around 12,400 participants, to assess these disparities.
- The findings suggest that struggles related to mental health and substance use begin earlier than previously thought for LGBQ youth, highlighting ongoing sociocultural challenges they face.
Purpose: The present study tests the hypothesis that there has been a significant increase in the implementation of six LGBTQ-supportive school practices in US states between 2010 and 2018.
Methods: Data were drawn from the publicly available School Health Profiles reports published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Division of Adolescent and School Health. We conducted unadjusted linear regression models separately for each practice to examine state-specific linear trends in the percentage of secondary schools reportedly engaging in six LGBTQ-supportive practices across all 50 states.
Background: Sexual and gender minority youth (SGMY) are at high risk for adverse health outcomes. Safer schools decrease this risk. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has identified 6 practices that can make schools safer for SGMY, yet few US schools implement them all.

Methods: From July to August 2016, we electronically surveyed the American College of Emergency Physicians' Emergency Medicine Practice-Based Research Network of 654 active emergency physician participants. We performed frequency tabulations to analyze the closed-ended response items.
