Thesis / Dissertation Description

AbstractStudies have examined sexual minorities and risk factors for adolescent suicidal ideation. Those studies found an independent relationship between risk factors for suicidal ideation and sexual/gender orientation. This thesis will identify risk and protective factors related to suicidal ideation among adolescents and risk and protective factors by LGBTQ status for adolescents in 9th and 11th grade in the State of Minnesota. Quantitative analysis of secondary survey data of 9th and 11th-grade adolescents will identify risk and protective factors related to suicidal ideation among adolescents and the risk factors and protective factors by LGBTQ status. The study will focus on adolescent responses to the survey as provided by the Minnesota State Survey, 2022b. This study is relevant to social work professionals, as the findings will inform evidence-based interventions to support efforts toward working with populations at elevated risk for suicide, increase early detection of adolescents at immediate risk, further inform family and community-based interventions in suicide prevention practices. This study will also help increase funding for adolescent-specific substance use treatment programs.Keywords: LGBTQ status, adolescents, suicidal ideation, risk, and protective factors.
