Jennifer R. Pharr (Public Health) and Kavita Batra (Medicine) recently published a study titled, "Social–Ecological Determinants of Suicidal Ideation Among Sexual and Gender Minority Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study in the United States," in the Healthcare journal.
The study highlights the importance of understanding factors at multiple levels of the Social–Ecological Model (SEM) that contribute to suicidal ideation. This knowledge is crucial for designing multi-level suicide prevention programs that address the unique needs of sexual and gender minority (SGM) individuals. Such programs can play a significant role in mitigating suicidal ideation by considering the interplay of individual, interpersonal, community, and societal factors.
