Risk for Suicidal Behavior After Psychiatric Hospitalization Among Sexual and Gender Minority Patients.

Within this cohort study of psychiatric patients, SGM patients had higher risk for suicidal behavior than non-SGM patients following discharge. While SM patients' risk was accounted for by clinical characteristics, GM patients' risk for suicidal behavior was not accounted for by their acute psychiatric state on admission. Future studies with larger subsamples of GM individuals are needed, and inpatient clinicians must attend to the unique needs of SGM individuals to ensure they receive affirming services.
