Prevalence and Risk Factors for Suicidal Ideation and Attempts Among Black LGBTQ+ Young Adults.
Article in North Carolina medical journal, 2025. 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
backgroundYoung people who hold both a Black and LGBTQ+ identity (e.g., lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer) are facing increasingly high levels of suicide risk. Very few studies have investigated risk factors that contribute to suicidality among Black LGBTQ+ young adults, many of whom live in the southeastern United States, including North Carolina. This study aims to investigate the risk factors that impact the Black LGBTQ+ young adult population.
methodsData were collected through a cross-sectional survey in North Carolina from June-October 2023. The analytic sample includes 361 Black LGBTQ+ young people aged 18-34 years, a developmental period where individuals transition out of adolescence and into adulthood. Analyses include descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression modeling predicting suicidal ideation and suicide attempts as outcomes using predictor variables from multiple domains (i.e., demographics, psychological disorders, substance use, exposure to discrimination and violence, and poverty).
resultsAbout one-third of participants considered suicide at some point in their lives, and nearly one-fifth of participants attempted suicide. Results also show that food scarcity was associated with suicidal ideation. Among substances, alcohol consumption increased risk for suicidal ideations while cocaine/crack use increased risk for suicide attempts. Having a psychological disorder (i.e., depression, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety disorder, gender dysphoria, and eating disorder) increased risk for suicidal ideation and/or attempt. Implications for suicide prevention and future research are discussed. LIMITATIONS: Study limitations included convenience sampling, cross-sectional data, lack of variables unique to the population group, and measurement of lifetime suicidality.
conclusionsBlack LGBTQ+ young people report high rates of suicidality. Intervening to mitigate food scarcity, alcohol consumption, cocaine use, and mental health challenges may reduce suicidality among Black LGBTQ+ young people.
