“…A study in Argentina found that the prevalence of suicide in transgender people was about 10 times higher than in the general population, estimated at 0.4 to 4.4 percent in international studies (31). But a study looked at suicide attempts and suicidal ideation in transgender people from a different perspective and found that more than 40 percent of transgender people were in contact with people who had attempted suicide, and 32 percent lived with people that have died by suicide (53). This may be one of the reasons for suicide attempts and suicidal ideation in transgender people.…”

Context: Research in the United States has shown that nearly a third of transgender adults have engaged in suicidal thoughts or behaviors. The present research was designed to comprehensively estimate the prevalence of suicidal behaviors in transgender people. Methods: The current research is a systematic review and meta-analysis of the prevalence of suicidal behaviors in transgender people. The technique of reporting the current research was based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) list. In September 2020, the investigators surveyed six international sites: EMBASE, Medline/PubMed, Google Scholar, ProQuest, ISI Web of Science, and Scopus. Results: The prevalence of suicide attempts in transgender people was 26.34% (95% CI for 22.54 - 30.13), and that of suicide ideation in these individuals was 44.26% (95% CI for 33.79 - 54.74). The results of the meta-regression of suicide attempts in recent years have shown a declining trend; nevertheless, this result was not statistically significant (P = 0.446). Conclusions: The prevalence of suicide attempts and suicide ideation in transgender persons is higher than in the overall population. However, this study showed that the prevalence of suicide attempts has been decreasing in recent years, and suicide ideation are increasing, but these findings were not significant, and more studies are needed to prove this issue.

To examine the role of various forms of social support as a protective factor for transgender and gender diverse individuals against suicidal ideation. Data analyzed in the current study were part of the 2017 Trans Lifeline Mental Health Survey. Self-identified transgender and gender diverse (TGD) adults (N = 4147) completed an online, cross-sectional survey that included self-report measures on past-year suicidal ideation, perceived receipt of social support from others (e.g., family and chosen family), mode of social support (e.g., primarily online and primarily offline), and perceived role of social support for others. Chi-square analyses indicate that TGD individuals who reported support from both FOO and chosen family, receiving support from friends primarily offline, and providing support to friends primarily offline were less likely to report past-year SI. A logistic regression analysis further indicated that those who reported having both family and chosen family support and support from friends primarily offline were less likely to report past-year SI. TGD individuals may be protected from SI when they perceive social support from multiple relationships and sources. Public Significance StatementThis study suggests that transgender and gender diverse adults who receive social support from a number of relationships and sources are less likely to report past-year suicidal, i.e.tion (SI). Specifically, family and chosen family support, and support from friends primarily offline were associated with lower probability of reporting past-year SI.

“…It will also be able to compare disparities between subgroups of transgender veterans seeking health-care services inside and outside the VA. Another large study that will likely provide important information is the Transgender Mental Health Survey, a partnership between the National LGBTQ Task Force and the Trans Lifeline (National LGBTQ Task Force, 2017). More than 4,500 transgender and gender-nonconforming adults were surveyed, and 300 former military personnel were represented (Tucker, Pardue, Snow, & Cerel, 2018). Finally, in a review of LGBT health-surveillance research, Patterson, Jabson, and Bowen (2017) found 43 publicly available data sets that include transgender-identification items; however, none of these studies included transgender-identity assessment procedures in line with recommended standards.…”

Transgender adults serve in the U.S. military at 2 to 3 times the rate of the general adult population. Unfortunately, transgender veterans die by suicide at twice the rate of their cisgender veteran peers and approximately 5.85 times the rate of the general population. This article reviews the literature regarding the prevalence of suicidal thoughts and behaviors in transgender veterans. Suicide risk and resilience factors are reviewed, and future areas of study are detailed that incorporate findings from the broader suicide-prevention literature and research on transgender mental-health disparities. Individual services and broader prevention considerations are discussed, including the adaptation of evidence-based suicide-specific psychological interventions, national transgender health-training resources, and relevant veteran suicide-prevention initiatives. Finally, U.S. Department of Defense and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs policies regarding transgender service and health care are reviewed. State-level policies relevant to transgender veteran suicide such as firearm ownership and nondiscrimination laws are also reviewed, and their implications for suicide prevention are discussed. The aim of this article is to provide a broad review of research findings from multiple fields of study to assist health-care providers, researchers, and policymakers in their efforts to prevent transgender veteran suicide.
