Bullying and depression serially mediate the association between perceived gender nonconformity and suicidality among US adolescents: a theory driven intersectional analysis
This research has implications for understanding the potential underlying mechanisms that link perceived gender nonconformity to suicidality among adolescents. The hypothesized cascade of contextual risk factors for adolescent suicidality seems to be more harmful among Hispanic Straight Males. Studying contextual mechanisms can help develop therapeutic interventions that target adolescents most at-risk of suicidality.
