Abstract

Sexual and gender minority (SGM) youth experience more negative mental health conditions, like depression and suicidal ideation, than cisgender and heterosexual youth. However, relatively little data exist on the COVID-19 pandemic’s effects on mental health and suicide-related disparities. Factors associated with poor mental health (e.g., physical isolation, increased time at home with parents/caregivers) changed during the pandemic and may differentially impact SGM youth. This presentation describes findings from a recent web-based, longitudinal survey of U.S.
