The Influence of Families on LGBTQ Youth Health: A Call to Action for Innovation in Research and Intervention Development

Abstract: Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, and other sexual and gender minority youth (LGBTQ) experience myriad health inequities relative to their cisgender heterosexual peers. Families have a profound impact on adolescent health, but little is known about this influence on LGBTQ youth specifically. We draw on work presented at a public symposium that aimed to characterize existing scientific evidence, identify gaps in knowledge, and set priority areas for future research on the influence of fam… Show more

“…Consistent with the study hypotheses and prior research [27][28][29][30], our results illustrated that experiences of SGM-specific family rejection are associated with greater tobacco smoking for this population. Despite calls to address the family context in SGM adolescent health [26,45], empirical literature documenting associations between SGM-specific family rejection and health have been scant [28,34]. In adult samples, minority stressors such as discrimination and internalized stigma have been associated with tobacco smoking [46,47].…”

“…21,22 Perhaps one of the most salient potential occurrences of enacted distal minority stress for LGBTQ young persons is family rejection, which has the potential to threaten LGBTQ young persons' psychological and physical well-being. 23 Young persons who report high levels of LGBTQ-related family rejection are 6 times more likely to experience depression and 8 times more likely to attempt suicide than LGBTQ young persons who report low levels of family rejection. 24 Family rejection of LGBTQ identities is also the top cited reason for homelessness among LGBTQ young persons.…”

“…Specifically, we address the following: (1) population definition, sampling, and recruitment, (2) measurement and interpretation, (3) study design, and (4) ethical considerations, including the unique challenges of each domain, the resulting gaps in knowledge, and methodological recommendations to address these gaps. Where possible, we provide illustrative examples specific to families and schools, thus serving as a methodological companion piece to the articles by Newcomb et al 18 and Johns et al 19 in this issue.…”
