“…Inclusive curricula seem to be most effective when they: avoid "deficit and at-risk narratives", make the contributions and achievements of LGBTQ+ role models visible, use workbooks and literature that include LGBTQ+ issues, facilitate in-depth reflection on LGBTQ+ topics beyond learning facts, have sticker systems to highlight books with LGBT themes and/or characters, include LGBTQ+ topics in sexual health education, and are implemented from an early age onwards (SAG, YPAG). 37,[52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59] Ideally, inclusive curricula should be co-designed and co-delivered by teachers and LGBTQ+ students (SAG). Our YPAG stated that students should be better educated on the history of LGBTQ+ people, for example the lesbian community providing activism and support during the HIV/AIDS crisis.…”

Background Sexual minority and trans young people are more likely to experience depression, anxiety, self-harm and suicidality than their heterosexual or cisgender peers. Improving inclusivity and acceptance of diverse sexual and gender identities, through universal interventions in schools, could prevent these mental health problems. We reviewed evidence, and developed a conceptual framework, to explain which universal interventions work, for whom, in which contexts, and why. Methods We conducted a Rapid Realist Review, with a systematic search of published, peer-reviewed and grey literature. We included reports from a call for evidence and website searches. Data were extracted in Context-Mechanism-Outcome (CMO) configurations. CMOs were developed and refined through discussions with experts by lived experience including young people, teachers, school governors and policy representatives Findings We included 53 studies, and classified interventions into five themes: Gay-Straight Alliances or similar student clubs (e.g. pride clubs), inclusive anti-bullying and harassment policies, inclusive curricula, workshops, and staff training. These interventions have the potential to reduce mental health problems among sexual minority and trans young people by reducing discrimination, bullying and feelings of unsafety, exclusion and marginalisation. The interventions appear to work best when teaching staff and school leaders are properly trained, and the school climate and community are supportive. Interventions may be less effective for boys and trans and bisexual students. Interpretation Our findings provide guiding principles for schools to develop interventions to improve the mental health of sexual minority and trans students. These findings should encourage primary research to confirm, refute or refine our programme theories.

“…This could be because inclusive curricula increase awareness ,understanding and acceptance (M1), normalise and validate sexual and gender minorities (M2), oppose compulsory heterosexuality (M3), and improve the school climate (M4). 29,31,37,[52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64]…”

“…1 Por otro lado, las reformas de los curricula pueden ser herramientas muy interesantes a la hora de impulsar el desarrollo de determinados comportamientos sociales. Así, por ejemplo, existe una amplia evidencia acerca de cómo estos pueden contribuir a mejorar la sensibilidad ambiental, el desarrollo de hábitos saludables o actitudes favorecedoras de la igualdad de género entre los estudiantes (Badea et al, 2020;Cincera y Krajhanzl, 2013;Cunningham-Sabo y Lohse, 2014;Kågesten et al, 2016;Keller et al, 2015;McMillin y Dyball, 2009;Vilkin et al, 2019). En Economía, además, contamos con estudios que señalan problemas y especificidades en algunos ámbitos.…”

Universal interventions to promote inclusivity and acceptance of diverse sexual and gender identities in schools could help to prevent mental health problems in this population. We reviewed evidence and developed programme theories to explain which universal interventions work, for whom, in which contexts and why. We conducted a rapid realist review and extracted data in context–mechanism–outcome configurations, to develop and refine programme theories. We included 53 sources and identified five intervention themes: student pride clubs, inclusive antibullying and harassment policies, inclusive curricula, workshops and staff training. Here, we show that these interventions could work by reducing discrimination, bullying and marginalization. Interventions appear to work best when school staff are trained and the school climate is supportive and may be less effective for boys, gender minority students and bisexual students. Our findings provide guiding principles for schools to develop interventions and should encourage primary research to confirm, refute or refine our programme theories.
