The authors used pooled data from 2005 and 2007 Youth Risk Behavior Surveys to examine the relationships among sexual minority status, sex, and mental health and suicidality, in a racially and ethnically diverse sample of youth. Findings included that sexual minorities had higher odds for feeling sad; suicidal ideation, planning, and attempts; and self-harm. Asian and black youth had lower odds of many outcomes, while American Native/Pacific Islander, Latino, and multiracial youth had higher odds.
