AbstractWhilst research on the LGBTQ + community, Domestic Abuse (DA) and the Criminal Justice System (CJS) is expanding, the LGBTQ + community have often been hidden from societal discourses within the CJS and overlooked in the wider narrative of DA. This study was guided by a queer theoretical framework, using semi-structured interview data from 10 LGBQ + participants in the UK to explore the voices of this community, gaining insight into their perceptions of domestic abuse, and how inclusive and responsive the CJS are currently in their approaches to the LGBTQ + community and LGBTQ + DA. An experiential thematic analysis of the data identified four themes including ‘Unique forms of abuse’, ‘LGBTQ + Domestic Abuse is hidden and unrecognizable’, ‘Double Discrimination…our identities, our experiences’ and ‘LGBTQ + Awareness and Domestic Abuse…Past, Present and Future.’ LGBQ + participants discussed the specific multi-layered complexities attached to LGBTQ + DA and described the current narrative of LGBTQ + DA as invisible and discriminatory. Participants offered insights related to CJS approaches of LGBTQ + DA, such as implementing specialist LGBTQ + DA training and creating visible awareness of LGBTQ + DA. In addition, participants offered suggestions of content to LGBTQ + DA Perpetrator Programmes. Together, these perceptions and related suggestions propose future directions of inclusive and responsive practice within the CJS for LGBTQ + victims/perpetrators of domestic abuse.Keywords: LGBTQ+domestic abusecriminal justice systeminclusionawareness Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

AbstractSuicide is a leading cause of death in emerging adults who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, and/or transgender (LGBT). This study examines discriminatory healthcare experiences and suicidality in LGBT adults, aged 18–24 (n = 90), who completed a health needs assessment in the Southeastern US. Regression indicated that gender identity, gender identity treatment discrimination, and discriminatory behaviors by providers accounted for 29% of variance in past suicide attempt(s). Individuals reporting being blamed for their health status were more likely to report a history of suicide attempts (p = 0.017). Providers need training to provide care competently to LGBT emerging adults.Keywords: LGBTsuicidemental healthhealthcareemerging adults Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Different studies on LGBT disparities have used different comparison groups (e.g., LGB, LGBTQ, LGBT, LGBTQIA+, etc.). An acronym consistent with the cited study’s comparison group will be used throughout.2 Note. We ran the logistic regression without multiple imputation and found similar results to those presented here: the overall model was significant, and blame remained the only significant individual variable in the full model.

AbstractSexual and gender minority individuals (SGMI; e.g., lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people) experience increased rates of alcohol use disorder and additional barriers to participating in alcohol use interventions compared to their cisgender and heterosexual counterparts. This suggests a need for accessible, evidence-based alcohol use interventions for these populations. Through conducting a feasibility and preliminary effectiveness trial of SMART Recovery, a cognitive-behavioral mutual help group for addictive behaviors, with a sample of SGMI (N = 32), this study evaluated the feasibility and preliminary outcomes of SMART Recovery for reducing alcohol use and related problems for SGMI. Primary feasibility metrics included average number of sessions attended per participant and average number of participants per session; preliminary outcomes were evaluated by comparing alcohol use symptoms at pre- and post-test through a t-test. Results suggest that SMART Recovery is potentially a feasible and effective intervention for SGMI experiencing challenges with alcohol use. On average, participants attended 5.36 sessions (target: 4–6 sessions). The average session was attended by 3.63 participants (tentative target: 5 participants). A comparison of pre and post-tests (n = 13) suggested significantly lower alcohol use among participants at the end of the intervention relative to the beginning (t = 1.92; p < 0.05).Keywords: SMART Recoverymutual help groupsLGBTQLGBTalcohol use disorder Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by New Faculty General Research Fund at the University of Kansas.

AbstractRural transgender individuals face heightened disparities relative to other transgender individuals. However, social workers and psychologists receive minimal training in transgender client care. The current study used one-way repeated measures ANOVAs to investigate the effectiveness of transgender-specific cultural competency training for social workers and psychologists working with rural clients to improve knowledge, awareness, and self-efficacy (i.e., competency) concerning transgender clients’ needs. Results indicated significant differences in the change of competency among participants assigned to a transgender-specific group compared to those assigned to a general multicultural group. Thematic analysis of participants’ responses to course evaluations also supported the course effectiveness.Keywords: Cultural competencyhealth disparitiesmental health treatmentprogram evaluationruralsubject classification codestherapist trainingtransgender AcknowledgmentsThank you to Dr. Kat Carrick for her guidance and support in strategizing how to carry out this project, Dr. Danielle Balaghi for her support in procuring grant funding, and the transgender panelists for bravely and vulnerably sharing their mental health experiences with the transgender-specific training course participants.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementThe data that support the findings of this study are openly available in figshare at https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.19817497Additional informationFundingThis research [Grant #2021010032.SAP] was supported by a Student Award Program grant from the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Foundation.

Background. LGBTQ+ activism may provide sexual and gender minorities (SGMs) with psychological benefits, buffering minority stressors. Method. In the current study, SGM adults (N = 527) completed a mixed-methods survey, assessing participation in LGBTQ+ activism and associated outcomes. Results. Most participants reported prior activism, including organizational involvement, attending Pride events, and educating others. Most participants indicated positive effects of activism and significantly higher well-being. Barriers to participation included outness, disability, and a lack of community acceptance; lack of participation was related to feelings of guilt and lack of community connection. Conclusions. Activism may be one avenue for SGMs to build resilience while resisting oppression.
