Religion and Sexual Orientation as Predictors of Utah Youth Suicidality

BYU Studies

Abstract

Peer-reviewed analysis examining religion and sexual orientation as predictors of suicidality among Utah youth. See the external source for full author list and findings.

Findings for Latter-day Saints

Examines religion and sexual orientation as joint predictors of suicidality in Utah youth.
Religious participation generally associated with reduced suicidality, including among LGB youth in many measures.
Findings complicate the assumption that LDS religious context uniformly increases LGB youth suicide risk.

Limitations in methodology

Utah-specific sample limits generalizability; cross-sectional design precludes causal inference; self-reported religiosity and sexual orientation.
