Abstract
ABSTRACTObjectives: This study explored experiences of violence and coping among lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth in Kingston, Jamaica. Methods: We conducted three focus groups with LGBT youth (18–29 years old), one with gay men (n = 10); one with transgender women (n = 8); and the third with lesbian and bisexual women (n = 5). Thematic analysis was used to understand lived experiences of violence and coping. Results: Findings revealed the complexity of types, sites, and consequences of violence, and adaptive and maladaptive coping strategies. Conclusions: Assets-based interventions to support LGBT youth in Jamaica should build on LGBT peer and community support.
