Social exclusion and suicidal distress in LGBTQ+ communities in Brighton & Hove

布莱顿和霍夫的不同LGBTQ人群如何形成集体对自杀的反应，社区内的社会排斥如何缓和这种反应，以及第三部门参与形成这些反应的影响是什么？背景：布莱顿和霍夫的自杀率显著高于全国平均水平(PHE2019年)，LGBTQ自杀完成率高于人口估计(布莱顿和霍夫市议会2018年)的预期，尽管存在专门的LGBTQ自杀预防服务。方法：一个三阶段研究项目。在大师赛阶段，我将使用创造性的方法来探索与专业服务无关的跨性成年人的社会关系。在博士研究的第一年，我将更新布莱顿大学、MindOUT和Allsorts大学2007年的报告，与较小的群体一起探索机构对自杀的反应如何影响社会排斥的模式，以及这些干预措施是否集合了社区对自杀的反应。在博士研究的第二年，我将与LGBTQ个体混合使用定量和关系映射技术，探索非正式的支持和排斥网络如何影响对自杀的反应。结果：对有关LGBTQ自杀的地方和国家社会政策进行干预。这将包括2015年布莱顿和霍夫变性需求评估，以及围绕变性自杀列出的保护因素是否得到满足。它将进一步探索布莱顿和霍夫自杀行动计划的结果，该计划侧重于预防行动和意识，作为LGBTQ自杀的重点。

How do different groups of LGBTQ people in Brighton & Hove form collectiveresponses to suicide, how is this tempered by intra-community social exclusion, and what is the impactof third-sector involvement in forming these responses?Context: Rates of suicide in Brighton & Hove are significantly higher than the national average (PHE2019) and LGBTQ suicide completions occur at a higher rate than expected from population estimates(Brighton & Hove City Council 2018), despite the existence of specialist LGBTQ suicide preventionservices.Methodology: A three-stage research project. In the Masters stage I will use creative methodologies toexplore the social relations of trans adults unconnected to specialist services. In the first year of PhDresearch I will update the 2007 report by the University of Brighton, MindOut and Allsorts alongsidesmaller groups to explore how institutional responses to suicide impact patterns of social exclusion andwhether these interventions collectivise community responses to suicide. In the second year of PhDresearch I will mix quantitative and relational mapping techniques with LGBTQ individuals to explore howinformal networks of support and exclusion affect responses to suicide.Outcomes: Interventions into both local and national social policies concerning LGBTQ suicide. This willinclude the 2015 Brighton & Hove Trans Needs Assessment and whether the protective factors listedaround trans suicide have been met. It will further explore the results of the Brighton & Hove SuicideAction Plan, which focusses on preventative actions and awareness as a focus for LGBTQ suicide.
