This is the first national study in England to report on the social determinants of suicidality and self-harm in LGBT youth populations...Those who had self-harmed and/or had a disability had an increased likelihood of planned or attempted suicide. Those who identified as transgender were nearly twice as likely to have self-harmed, and one and a half times more likely to have planned or attempted suicide, than male/female participants...
Limitations of this study
Non-probability samples of LGBT populations allow the scientific study of important public health issues, however it is difficult to determine whether findings are characteristic of the population in general or solely the sample recruited...Whilst we found associations between certain social determinants of suicidality and self-harm, this does not necessarily imply causality.
In short, any child who LGB or T is more likely to be bullied because of their social difference. Those who are trans are c twice as likely to self harm or attempt suicide that what? Male/female children... non trans? Non LGB or T?
And the detail says those who had self harmed were 7 time more likely to report having planned suicide, but I haven't worked out if that is ALL who self harm.
It looks like a good study but the detail in comparative data sets may be missing. I'll have closer look later!
