Suicide Attempts Among Transgender And Gender Non-Conforming Adults
The prevalence of suicide attempts among respondents to the National Transgender Discrimination Survey (NTDS), conducted by the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force and National Center for Transgender Equality, is 41 percent, which vastly exceeds the 4.6 percent of the overall U.S. population who report a lifetime suicide attempt, and is also higher than the 10-20 percent of lesbian, gay and bisexual adults who report ever attempting suicide. Much remains to be learned about underlying factors and which groups within the diverse population of transgender and gender non-conforming people are most at risk. In the present study, we sought to increase understanding of suicidal behavior among transgender and gender non-conforming people through an in depth analysis of NTDS data. The specific aims of our analysis were to identify the key characteristics and experiences associated with lifetime suicide attempts in the NTDS sample as a whole, and to examine how lifetime suicide attempts vary among different groups of transgender and gender nonconforming people.
And governments are spending public monies to provide this as a perk to their workers.
41%: One hell of a definition of success, Oh, wait. This is Psychiatry Ground Zero, so success means something other than the accepted Dictionary definition.
