“…The most utilized scale to measure general internalized queer stigma was the Desire to be Heterosexual Subscale ( n = 3), followed by the Revised Homosexual Attitudes Inventory ( n = 2). Of the remaining, several were unnamed but reported as “adapted” [i.e., the measure cited in the Bruce et al ( 50 , 64 ) studies; one unnamed subscale from Puckett et al ( 69 )]. Though not an exhaustive list, additional scales utilized by only one of the remaining studies include the Sexual Minority Adolescent Stress Inventory, and 2 studies created a measure of internalized general queer stigma using 3 dichotomous items ( 54 , 67 ).…”

“…Two disagreements arose during comparison of results, but consensus among reviewers was reached through discussion and reviewing the article text together. Sixteen studies were considered good quality with a low risk of bias [score ranges of 6 to 7 points; ( 49 – 64 )]. Six studies were of fair quality with a moderate risk of bias [i.e., range of scores from 3 to 5.5, ( 65 – 70 )].…”

BackgroundQueer youth experience high rates of depression and suicidality. These disparities stem from stigma-based stressors, including internalized stigma (i.e., negative social views that minoritized individuals internalize about their own identity). Given the importance of this factor in understanding mental health disparities among queer youth, we completed a systematic review and meta-analysis examining the relationships between internalized stigma and outcomes of depression and suicide risk (i.e., suicidal ideation, non-suicidal self-injury, and suicidal behavior).MethodsWe followed the PRISMA standards. Six bibliographic databases were searched for studies in the United States from September 2008 to March 2022. Dual independent screening of search results was performed based on a priori inclusion criteria.ResultsA total of 22 studies were included for data extraction and review. Most studies examined general internalized homophobia, with few examining internalized biphobia or transphobia. Many studies examined depression as an outcome, few studies examined suicidal ideation or behavior, and no studies examined non-suicidal self-injury. Meta-analyses model results show the association between general internalized queer stigma and depressive symptoms ranged r = 0.19, 95% CI [0.14, 0.25] to r = 0.24, 95% CI [0.19, 0.29], the latter reflecting more uniform measures of depression. The association between internalized transphobia and depressive outcomes was small and positive (r = 0.21, 95% CI [−0.24, 0.67]). General internalized queer stigma and suicidal ideation had a very weak positive association (r = 0.07, 95% CI [−0.27, 0.41]) and an even smaller, weaker positive association with suicide attempt (r = 0.02, 95% CI [0.01, 0.03]).ConclusionImplications for clinical practice, policy, and future research are discussed.
