    LGBT Teen Suicides

    1. Haas, Ann P., et al. "Suicide and Suicide Risk in Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and

    Transgender Populations: Review and Recommendations." Journal of Homosexuality

    58.1 (2010): 10-51.

    The article summarizes the strong indications which have persisted in the overall elevation of the

    suicide risks of adolescents, primarily the lives of individuals that belong to the Lesbian, Gay,

    Bisexual and Transgender community. The fundamental focus was placed on how the alarming

    rates of suicides still has not been considered enough for attention to be diverted to the health

    sector concerning youth. Three years’ worth of effort exerted by an expert panel of psychologists

    as well as analysts had been summarized in the research article. There was further focus on

    developing a better and thorough understanding of remedial measures which already existed to

    derive from them successful factors to incorporate in newer policies for effecting functioning.

    This article focused on researching and creating a pool of information regarding existing

    prevention procedures along with intervention policy and subsequent changes. The

    recommendation provided, to fill in the gaps which exist between policies and procedures and

    the newly obtained knowledge regarding the matter, have proven to be quite useful. The research

    methods adopted provided a thorough understanding and a large bank of raw information which

    provides perfect ground for one to carry out analysis in the trends of suicide in LGBT +

    community.

    This article provides the fundamental grounds for the claim that suicide rates are a lot higher

    in LGBT + community due to multiple reasons that effect both physical and psychological health

    of the majority of the youth and provide such circumstances which encourages suicide. Now, the

    primary focus has been given to the preventive measures, yet not enough. It is of the utmost

    importance that the officials spend time studying trends and important causes and introduce

    better preventive measures.

    2. Hatzenbuehler, Mark L. "The Social Environment and Suicide Attempts in Lesbian, Gay,

    and Bisexual Youth." Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics 127.5 (2011): 896-

    903.

    The primary focus in this article was on the social factors which have furthered and elevated

    the rate as well as the risk of suicides in LGBT+ community. The focal group of the research

    presented in this article included students of the eleventh grade. A sample index was structure to

    better extract data based on the sample size of same sex couples, registered democrats, gay-

    straight equilibrium, and school policies. The results of the article proved a significantly higher

    rate of suicide in the communities of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgenders. A supportive

    environment contributed heavily towards the prevention and much of the resulting factors of

    negative social impacts included depressive symptoms, drinking habits and drug abuse among

    others.

    The findings of the article had been supported by the National Health Department of America

    and has credible footing with its reported information. The article itself was divided into two
    Dueck 3

    porting which included: causes and remedies, which lead to a better understanding of all the

    information provided.

    This research article is a strong support for the Final Research paper as it covers both the causes

    of elevated suicide rates as well as the factors which may contribute towards the stoppage of this

    rising trend. This analysis helps elaborate upon the stance of how suicide rates are a lot higher in

    LGBT+ community due to the hostile behaviour they encounter and various other financial and

    social discrimination which leads to ostracization and inevitable attempt of suicide. The research

    also founded connections between a supportive and friendly environment with that of the

    lowered rate of suicide.
