dc.description.abstractRising rates of suicide among adolescents constitute a pressing social concern, with extant research emphasizing that sexual minority adolescents are at significantly higher risk for suicide compared to their heterosexual counterparts. Thus, the current study aimed to gain a deeper understanding of the impact that victimization, school connectedness, and social support have on heterosexual and sexual minority adolescent suicidality within the context of Minority Stress Theory (MST). The additional focus of the current study on multiple types of victimization allowed for a comparison of general stressors as predictors of adolescent suicidality. Findings highlighted significant effects of the three abovementioned components of MST on adolescent suicidality. Thus, recommended policy implications include implementing effective strategies to minimize adolescent suicide rates and prevent negative mental health outcomes.en_US
