Reduce suicidal ideation among sexual minority (lesbian, gay, or bisexual) high school students, including those who seriously considered suicide, made a plan, or made an attempt in the past year
Summary
High school students who identify as lesbian, gay, or bisexual are much more likely to think about suicide than those who identify as heterosexual. Community- and family-based interventions that reduce risky behaviors like alcohol and drug use in lesbian, gay, and bisexual high school students may help reduce thoughts of suicide.
Per a court order, HHS is required to restore this website as of 11:59 PM, February 14, 2025. Any information on this page promoting gender ideology is extremely inaccurate, and disconnected from the immutable biological reality that there are two sexes, male and female. The Trump Administration rejects gender ideology and condemns the harms it causes to children, by promoting their chemical and surgical mutilation, and to women, by depriving them of their dignity, safety, well-being, and opportunities. This page does not reflect biological reality and therefore the Administration and this Department rejects it.
