The relationship between sexual and gender stigma and suicide attempt and ideation among LGBTQI + populations in Thailand: findings from a national survey

Abstract: Purpose Thailand has one of the highest suicide rates in Southeast Asia; yet, little is known about suicidality among lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, intersex, and other gender and sexually diverse (LGBTQI +) people living in the region, who may experience elevated risk for suicide. We sought to identify the prevalence of lifetime suicidal attempts and ideation among a nationally recruited sample of LGBTQI + people in Thailand. We further examined the relationship between levels of sexual/g… Show more

“…A survey in Australia among young people attracted to those of the same sex showed that internalized homophobia, perceived stigma, and experiences of homophobic physical abuse were associated with suicidal thoughts [ 32 ]. It is possible that adolescent LGBTQA+ individuals in our study were also subject to similar stressors, such as sexual/gender stigma [ 29 ] and internalized discrimination [ 33 ], which then influenced their suicidality.…”

“…Six studies examined suicide (English et al, 2022;Kaniuka et al, 2019;Zeluf, 2018;Moallef et al, 2022;Pachankis et al, 2020;Ronzón-Tirado et al, 2022). The most significant pattern was how stigma for sexuality and perceived stigma were connected to suicide ideation, behavior, or attempts (English et al, 2022;Kaniuka et al, 2019;Moallef et al, 2022;Ronzón-Tirado et al, 2022;Zeluf, 2018). This is most likely because of the high correlation of stigma and depression or anxiety .…”

“…HIV and AIDS were brought up in 10 of the selected studies. Two articles (Gyamerah et al, 2020;Iott et al, 2022) covered LGBTQ+ HIV-testing patterns, four studies covered LGBTQ+ discrimination caused by their HIV status (Bogart et al, 2020;Logie et al, 2020;Moallef et al, 2022;Sileo et al, 2022), and two articles (Logie et al, 2020;Wolfe, 2022) described risk behaviors (substance use, condom use, "sexual risk") that caused LGBTQ+ communities to be more vulnerable to HIV. Additional details included sexual assault increasing HIV risk (Gyamerah, 2020;Logie et al, 2020) and HCP's assumptions of HIV-positive patients being homosexual (Sileo et al, 2022).…”

“…We present an example of how ML can provide more interpretable results than the Table 2 fallacy-plagued regression models through real-life data that identity risk factors for frequent alcohol abuse among LGBTQ+ youth on 70 potential predictors. A brief literature review showed an abundance of recent studies on this similar topic (including some from our team) that performed regression models within the context of both causal and descriptive analyses while presenting effect estimates in a Table 2 format as described above [ 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ]. While there were a few past studies that used ML analysis to identify the most important predictors of alcohol use among youths [ 23 , 24 , 25 ], fewer studies have performed it specifically on LGBTQ+ youths, which might have unique factors that can lead to substance use (e.g., outness or internalized homophobia).…”
