“…Our stratified sampling frame using structural stigma strata allowed us to systematically acquire data from participants who attended or worked in schools from varying U.S. contexts is a strength of our study because it purposefully samples participants from a wide variety of social contexts, more so that prior qualitative literature that has focused on smaller geographical locations (Grossman et al, 2009; Newman et al, 2017; Marshall et al, 2015; Ken, 2017; Mayo, 2013; Valenti & Campbell, 2009; Steck & Perry, 2017; Reisner et al, 2020; McCormick & Krieger, 2020; Higa et al, 2014). Furthermore, our carefully constructed sampling quotas allowed us to oversample particularly vulnerable and underrepresented groups, such as youth of color, gender minority youth, and staff in rural locales.…”

“…Despite the important insights gleaned from prior qualitative research on SGMY and school staff, existing studies have several methodological limitations. These limitations include: (1) enrolling only SGMY or only school staff, but not both (de Jong, 2015; Eisenberg et al, 2017; Grossman et al, 2009; Halbrook et al, 2019; Higa et al, 2014; Ken, 2017; Laiti et al, 2021; Marshall et al, 2015; McCormick & Krieger, 2020; Newman et al, 2017; Porta et al, 2017; Preston, 2016; Steck & Perry, 2017; Valenti et al, 2017; Young et al, 2017), thereby constraining the ability to triangulate SGMY and staff perspectives; (2) recruiting and sampling participants from small geographical locations (Grossman et al, 2009; Newman et al, 2017; Marshall et al, 2015; Ken, 2017; Mayo, 2013; Valenti & Campbell, 2009; Steck & Perry, 2017; Reisner et al, 2020; McCormick & Krieger, 2020; Higa et al, 2014); (3) researching sexual minority youth but not gender minority youth (Marshall et al, 2015; Rutter & Leech, 2006); (4) primarily enrolling white SGMY (Marshall et al, 2015; Ken, 2017; Porta et al, 2017; Mayo, 2013; Reisner et al, 2020); (5) recruiting SGMY or school staff solely from GSAs (Mayo, 2013; Valenti & Campbell, 2009); and (6) restricting school staff samples to specific roles (e.g., only counselors) (de Jong, 2015; Halbrook et al, 2019; Preston, 2016; Valenti & Campbell, 2009; Steck & Perry, 2017). As a result, these limitations hamper our ability to identify qualitative themes across sociodemographically diverse groups of SGMY and school staff.…”

Background. Sexual and gender minority youth (SGMY) experience health inequities compared with cisgender heterosexuals, and these inequities are heightened in areas with high structural stigma. Quantitative research shows school assets (e.g., adult support) are associated with better health for SGMY. Though some qualitative studies elucidated how school staff support SGMY, none have triangulated such strategies in a geographically and sociodemographically diverse sample of school staff and SGMY. This paper describes a multi-perspective qualitative study design and offers lessons learned from conducting such a study. Methods. Using a novel stratified sampling frame, we interviewed 60 SGMY and 29 school staff who attended/worked at high schools in U.S. states with low, medium, and high structural stigma. To ensure sociodemographic diversity, we constructed sampling quotas, and recruited SGMY using social media and staff using a multi-pronged approach. Results. The stratified sampling strategy met our goal of enrolling diverse SGMY and staff participants. SGMY participants attended schools in low ( n = 20), medium ( n = 22), and high ( n = 18) structural stigma states. We enrolled 18 cisgender girls, 18 cisgender boys, and 24 gender minority youth. Fifty-three percent of SGMY were youth of color, and 45% attended schools in rural areas. School staff participants worked at schools in low ( n = 11), medium ( n = 11), and high ( n = 7) structural stigma states. School staff participants were 55% heterosexual, 91% cisgender, and had diverse roles (e.g., teacher, principal, librarian, and nurse). Conclusions. This paper describes new methods for collecting qualitative data from diverse SGMY and school staff. Some lessons learned from this study include the importance of using trauma-informed interviewing methods, having a suicidality safety protocol, establishing a priori sampling quotas, and creating tailored social media advertisements. With these data we will explore the heterogeneity of SGMY and school staff experiences across varying structural stigma levels, yielding foundational information for future school-based interventions.

“…For instance, in the United States with a large population of immigrants and refugees, as compared to native-born youth, immigrant youth are at high risk for experiencing bullying victimisation and report more interpersonal, socioemotional, health and substance use problems (Maynard et al ., 2016; UNESCO, 2019). As compared to students who identified as heterosexual, students who identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) or unsure about their sexual orientation are significantly more likely to be bullied due to bullying towards sexual and gender minorities, which may be due to predominant norms of what are acceptable practices of sexuality (Kann et al ., 2016; Lowry et al ., 2020; McCormick and Krieger, 2020). To prevent bullying victimisation, societies should understand how bullying-supportive norms are located and why the public accept and even reinforce these norms.…”

Aim This study aimed to analyse the temporal and spatial trends in the burden of anxiety disorders and major depressive disorder related to bullying victimisation on global, regional and country scales. Methods Data were from the 2019 Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study. We assessed the global disability-adjusted life years (DALYs, per 100 000 population) of anxiety disorders and major depressive disorder attributable to bullying victimisation by age, sex and geographical location. The percentage changes in age-standardised rates of DALYs were used to quantify temporal trends, and the annual rate changes across 204 countries and territories were used to present spatial trends. Furthermore, we examined the relationship between the sociodemographic index (SDI) and the burden of anxiety disorders as well as major depressive disorder attributable to bullying victimisation and its spatial and temporal characteristics globally. Results From 1990 to 2019, the global DALY rates of anxiety disorders and major depressive disorder attributable to bullying victimisation increased by 23.31 and 26.60%, respectively, with 27.27 and 29.07% for females and 18.88 and 23.84% for males. Across the 21 GBD regions, the highest age-standardised rates of bullying victimisation-related DALYs for anxiety disorders were in North Africa and the Middle East and for major depressive disorder in High-income North America. From 1990 to 2019, the region with the largest percentage increase in the rates of DALYs was High-income North America (54.66% for anxiety disorders and 105.88% for major depressive disorder), whereas the region with the slowest growth rate or largest percentage decline was East Asia (1.71% for anxiety disorders and −25.37% for major depressive disorder). In terms of SDI, this study found overall upward trends of bullying-related mental disorders in areas regardless of the SDI levels, although there were temporary downward trends in some stages of certain areas. Conclusions The number and rates of DALYs of anxiety disorders and major depressive disorder attributable to bullying victimisation increased from 1990 to 2019. Effective strategies to eliminate bullying victimisation in children and adolescents are needed to reduce the burden of anxiety disorders and major depressive disorder. Considering the large variations in the burden by SDI and geographic location, future protective actions should be developed based on the specific cultural contexts, development status and regional characteristics of each country.

“…Most research has either explored the common experiences across all SGMY identities (Craig et al, 2017b ) or small subpopulations (Goffnett & Paceley, 2020 ; McCormick & Krieger, 2020 ) with few studies focusing on the intersections of SGMY identities and experiences. In consultation with community advisors that identified at-risk subpopulations that are underserved in existingprogrammes, this study prioritized SGMY with multiple intersecting vulnerabilities; specifically, SGMY who identified as transgender or gender nonconforming (TGD), experienced homelessness, had engagement with the child welfare system, and were immigrants, refugees, or newcomers to Canada.…”

Purpose: Sexual and gender minority youth (SGMY) experience unique challenges related to identity and disclosure, and cope in vibrant ways. Qualitative research has not yet fulsomely explored the risk, resilience, and identity intersections that impact vulnerable SGMY wellbeing. Methods: This digital photo-elicitation study (QueerView) recruited thirty SGMY (aged 14–29) from priority populations that had one or more of the following experiences: trans and gender diverse, homelessness, child welfare, and immigration. From submission of fifteen photos representing resilience and a semi-structured interview via web conferencing, constructivist grounded theory was utilized for multimodal analysis of photos, interview video, and interview transcript. Triangulation, an audit trail, and member checking were employed to support trustworthiness. Results: A visual model emerged showing how participants work towards an integrative self, with themes of reflecting and knowing, discrimination and intersectional challenges, connecting, performing, curating, coping, (re)defining and (re)creating, growing and being. Sub-themes of the impact of family dynamic and values, mental health and trauma, and the cathartic benefit from advocacy and leadership offered insight. Participant images were captured in a digital gallery. Conclusions: QueerView animates the complex lives of multiply marginalized SGMY and their intersectional strengths and challenges while demonstrating the utility of a digital multimodal approach.
