Arrest History and Health Among U.S. Sexual and Gender Minority Youth, 2022.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionSexual and gender minority youth, who experience high mental and behavioral health needs, are overrepresented in the criminal legal system, which may exacerbate these needs. This study examined the associations between arrest history and mental and behavioral health among sexual and gender minority youth.
methodsUsing cross-sectional survey data from the 2022 LGBTQ+ National Teen Survey, this study created a case-control sample of 287 sexual and gender minority youth with an arrest history and 1,148 propensity-matched sexual and gender minority youth without an arrest history. Associations between arrest history and sexual and gender minority developmental milestones, minority stressors, and mental and behavioral health outcomes were examined. Statistical analyses were conducted between 2022 and 2024.
resultsArrest history was significantly associated with several sexual and gender minority developmental milestones (e.g., earlier age of identity realization and disclosure) and minority stressors (e.g., greater bullying and parental rejection). Sexual and gender minority youth with an arrest history had poorer mental and behavioral health, including greater sleep disturbance (AOR=1.46; 95% CI=1.08, 2.00) and positive screenings for depression (AOR=1.60; 95% CI=1.20, 2.14), anxiety (AOR=1.35; 95% CI=1.01, 1.82), and risk for substance use disorder development (AOR=5.81; 95% CI=4.26, 7.94).
conclusionsArrest history is associated with the mental and behavioral health of sexual and gender minority youth, highlighting systemic inequities. Tailored public health interventions are needed to reduce criminal-legal contact in this population.
