Intersectional inequities in suicide ideation by race, sexual orientation, and gender among US high school students in the pre- and post-2020 waves of the YRBSS: an application of random effects intersectional MAIHDA.

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
The US faces a youth mental health crisis. Few studies have examined how the disruptions of 2020 impacted existing mental health inequities. Intersectional multilevel analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy (I-MAIHDA) is a methodological innovation that provides social epidemiology with a theory-informed and rigorous approach to quantify changing intersectional health inequities. Using 2017-2021 data from the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System, we illustrate the use of logistic I-MAIHDA with random effects to estimate intersectional inequities in suicidal ideation among US high-school students by race, sexual orientation, and gender. Before 2020, we found substantial inequities in suicidal ideation prevalence, ranging from 9.8% to 12.7% among heterosexual boys to over 50% among bisexual multirace/Other and White girls. We also found notable changes between the pre-2020 and 2021 waves. Strata at the lowest (heterosexual boys) and highest risk (bisexual girls) showed little change, while middle-ranked strata-Black Other/Questioning and lesbian girls, White Other/Questioning boys and girls, and multirace/Other gay boys-reported large increases in suicidal ideation. Our findings suggest worsening teen mental health in the 2017-2021 period, particularly among racial and sexual minorities. This study highlights the value of I-MAIHDA and population surveys like Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System for understanding changes in intersectional health inequities.
