Abstract

In a probability sample of girls (N = 2,450), three sexual minority trajectories were identified: primarily other-sex oriented (n=716), bisexually-oriented (n=235), and primarily same-sex oriented (n=90). Groups differed significantly on rates of non-suicidal self-injury, suicide ideation, and suicide attempts, highlighting the importance of developmental considerations in addressing suicide risk disparities.
