作者评估了9 - 12年级学生的情绪困扰，并研究了LGBT地位和情绪困扰之间的关联是否是由于其他人认为他们是同性恋而受到虐待或歧视的看法而介导的。数据来自马萨诸塞州波士顿的一项基于学校的调查（n= 1，032）; 10%为LGBT，58%为女性，年龄范围为13-19岁。大约45%是黑人，31%是西班牙裔，14%是白色。LGBT青少年在抑郁症量表上的得分明显更高。他们也比异性恋、非变性青年更有可能报告自杀意念（30%对6%，p<0.0001）和自我伤害（5%对3%，p<0.0001）。调解分析表明，感知到的歧视导致LGBT男性和女性的抑郁症增加，并导致LGBT男性自我伤害和自杀意念的风险增加。感知到的歧视可能是造成LGBT青年情绪困扰的一个因素。
The authors evaluated emotional distress among 9th-12th grade students, and examined whether the association between LGBT status and emotional distress was mediated by perceptions of having been treated badly or discriminated against because others thought they were gay or lesbian. Data come from a school-based survey in Boston, MA (n=1,032); 10% were LGBT, 58% were female, and age ranged from 13-19 years. About 45% were Black, 31% were Hispanic, and 14% were White. LGBT youth scored significantly higher on the scale of depressive symptomatology. They were also more likely than heterosexual, non-transgendered youth to report suicidal ideation (30% vs. 6%, p<0.0001) and self-harm (5% vs. 3%, p<0.0001). Mediation analyses showed that perceived discrimination accounted for increased depressive symptomatology among LGBT males and females, and accounted for an elevated risk of self-harm and suicidal ideation among LGBT males. Perceived discrimination is a likely contributor to emotional distress among LGBT youth.
