Age of Onset of Self-Harm and Suicidality Varies across Sexual Minority Subgroups

Sexual minorities (SM) experience more self-harm and suicidality than heterosexuals (Oginni et al., 2019). Self-harm and suicidality vary between SM subgroups (Saewyc et al., 2007). This study compared 1507 SM participants across 4 SM subgroups. Bisexual and ‘additional’ SM participants reported younger ages of onset of self-harm and suicidality.
