Implementing Evidence Informed Practices in Schools to Address LGBTQ Adolescent Suicide
Sponsor: Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation
Summary
Reducing youth suicide in the U.S. is a national public health priority. Sexual and gender minority adolescents are at elevated risk for suicide. Safer school environments, however, can decrease this risk. This study capitalizes on the critical role of school nurses in improving the mental health of this vulnerable population through implementation and sustainment of evidence-based strategies to enhance school environments. In addition to suicide, the conceptual framework and methods for this novel, nurse-led intervention can be applied to address the health-related concerns of other pediatric populations encountered in school settings as well.

The implementation model for this intervention will increase school-based supports and safety for gender and sexual minorities and broader student bodies, and be applicable to addressing other priority child and adolescent health and mental health issues within schools. The investigators refer to the model as "RLAS" (Implementing School Nursing Strategies to Reduce LGBTQ Adolescent Suicide).
