Sexual Orientation and Risk Factors for Suicidal Ideation and Suicide Attempts: a Multi-centre Cross-Sectional Study in Three Asian Cities

摘要

Purpose: Despite robust empirical and theoretical evidence for higher rates of suicide among lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) youths, little is known about the relationship between suicide and sexual orientation among Asian youths. This study examined differences in prevalence of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts between LGB and heterosexual youths in the cities of Hanoi, Shanghai, and Taipei, China.
