Substance Use and Suicide Risk Among LGBTQ Youth

Using Data from The Trevor Project’s National Survey on LGBTQ Youth Mental Health we will examine the relationship between substance use and suicide risk among LGBTQ young people, focusing on what can be done to reduce harm, decrease risk factors, and increase protective factors for LGBTQ youth.
