Associations Between Nonsuicidal Self-Injury and School-Based Health-Promotive Factors for Sexual and Gender Minority Youth and Their Peers.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify associations between school-based, health-promotive factors and nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) for sexual and gender minority youth and their heterosexual and cisgender peers. Methods: Using data from the 2019 New Mexico Youth Risk and Resiliency Survey (N = 17,811) and multilevel logistic regression to account for school-based clustering, we compared the effect of four school-based health-promotive factors on NSSI for stratified samples of lesbian/gay, bisexual, and gender-diverse (hereafter, gender minority [GM]) youth. Interactions were examined to evaluate the impact of school-based factors on NSSI for lesbian/gay, bisexual, (compared with heterosexual) and GM (compared with cisgender) youth. Re
