研究表明，女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋和变性者（LGBT）青年是一个弱势群体，这种状况可以归因于学校的敌对社会氛围。干预战略，如教育政策，计划和支持性环境，改善中学和大学LGBT学生的社会氛围。然而，没有研究汇编和综合现有的研究，以显示安全的学校干预措施和支持性环境对LGBT青年的唯一积极影响。本文总结了各种干预策略，探讨了现有知识体系的优势和局限性，并对未来的研究提出了建议。
Research indicates lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) youth are a vulnerable population-a status that can be attributed to a hostile social climate at school. Intervention strategies, such as educational policies, programs, and a supportive environment, improve the social climate for LGBT students in secondary schools and universities. Yet, no studies have compiled and synthesized existing research to show the exclusively positive effect safe school interventions and supportive environments have on LGBT youth. This article presents a summary of the various intervention strategies, examines the strengths and limitations of the existing body of knowledge, and makes recommendations for future research.
