Proposed Quantitative Correlational Study
Suicidality
Rates increasing among young people ages 15 to 24 (Miron et al. (2019)
About 20% of all high school students experience suicidal ideation (AHR, 2022)
Almost 10% of all high school students in the US attempt suicide (AHR, 2022)
Not all adolescents are at equal risk (Levy et al., 2016)
Though many LGB adolescents develop typically and flourish, 3 in 10 LGB teens experience suicidal ideation and can have double the risk of a suicide attempt compared to heterosexual peers (Levy et al., 2016)
LGB Adolescents
LGB adolescents experience significant amounts of ostracism, marginalization, prejudice, and judgement, along with physical threats to safety (Levy et al., 2016)
More than 50% of LGB teens experience invalidation and rejection at home, from their own parents at least at some point in their identity development (Levy et al., 2016)
LGB teens who experience acceptance from their families see their risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior cut in half (Ryan et al., 2010)
LGB teens who feel a sense of belonging with their families are significantly less likely to experience suicidality (Parra et al., 2019)
Conflict in the Family
High levels of family conflict are linked to increased suicide risk in all teens, including LGB adolescents (Chang et al., 2019)
Hostility, blaming, poor problem-solving, high conflict, and an inability to de-escalate intense emotions across the family structure is tied to suicidal ideation and behavior in teenagers (Aiken et al., 2019)
Adolescents' perceptions of marital conflict, along with their perception of the quality of their own relationship to their parents, is strongly linked to adolescent suicidality (Consoli et al., 2013)
Adolescents also often misperceive conflict in their parents' relationship, seeing more conflict than estimated by their parents and attributing it to their own behaviors (Chang et al., 2019)
Parenting Stress
The stress of parenting is tied to marital stress and both are linked bidirectionally to their children's behaviors, where one continuously influences the other (Camisasca et al., 2016)
While the stress of coming out is often explored for LGB youth, the effect on parents is heavily under-explored, even though managing parental stress may be key to supporting the whole family system (van Dyck et al., 2022)
