Abstract: We aimed to examine differences in depression, hopelessness, anxiety, traumatic stress, emotion regulation, suicidality, non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), and drug use between sexual and gender minority youth (SGMY) and heterosexual, cisgender youth (HCY) admitted to an acute, psychiatric inpatient unit in Texas. We also sought to predict participants’ suicide risk level at hospitalization using psychological and demographic variables.
