Intersectional Minority Stress and Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviors among Black Sexual and Gender Minority Youth.
Article in AIDS and behavior, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Black sexual and gender minority youth (SGMY) face significant disparities in suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Minority Stress Theory (MST) posits that the minoritized social statuses of sexual and gender minority individuals increases experiences of discrimination and victimization, which may increase poor mental health and lead to suicide. Such experiences are further complicated for racial and ethnic minority individuals who hold multiple marginalized positions and thus experience intersectional minority stress. Little research has examined how Black SGMY experience intersectional minority stressors and how these experiences impact suicidal thoughts and behaviors. In this phenomenological study, we explored experiences of minority stress at the intersection of race and sexual and/or gender identity and examined how such experiences can contribute to suicidal thoughts and behaviors. We conducted in-depth interviews with 22 Black SGMY ages 16-24 in Milwaukee, WI. We identified five themes surrounding the compounding minority stressors Black SGMY faced that contributed to poor mental health and suicidal thoughts and behaviors: (1) the journey of self-acceptance; (2) familial rejection; (3) societal marginalization; and (4) suicidal thoughts and behaviors as an escape from oppression. Our findings suggest effective suicide prevention strategies for Black SGMY should move beyond universal models and incorporate culturally responsive and identity-affirming strategies. In addition, peer-led support and community-based programming may be important avenues for affirming and protecting the lives of Black SGMY.
