Gender and sexual minority students experience higher levels of victimization in schools, making teacher intervention important. We examined how school climate, educator experiences (prior training, personal experience with harassment), and educator attitudes (homophobia, transgender knowledge) were associated with intention to intervene in cissexist and heterosexist victimization using two samples: pre-service teachers (n = 416) and in-service teachers (n = 931). For in-service teachers, higher transgender knowledge, lower homophobia, and personal harassment experience were associated with greater intervention intentions. Prior training was associated with greater transgender knowledge and greater intervention intentions. For the pre-service teachers, lower homophobia was associated with greater intervention intentions. In both samples, more school climate barriers were associated with greater transgender knowledge and lower homophobia. Results highlight the importance of ensuring teachers receive initial and continued education on diverse gender and sexual identities
Transgender youth face distinct challenges regarding minority stress, such as discrimination, which can be linked to mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety. The minority stress theory (MST) identifies two key resilience factors that can influence transgender individuals’ well-being: community connection and pride. However, few studies simultaneously explore these resilience factors alongside other individual and community-level resilience factors, particularly among young individuals. This study examined the associations between individual-level resilience factors (pride, satisfaction with appearance) and interpersonal, family or community-level resilience factors (community connection, family relationships satisfaction, friendship satisfaction), with anxiety and depressive symptoms among 228 transgender participants aged between 14 to 19 from Quebec (Canada). Of the five resilience factors examined, only higher satisfaction with appearance and family relationships satisfaction were significantly associated with lower anxiety or depressive symptoms among participants. These results highlight the importance of considering transgender youth’s satisfaction with their appearance and family relationships when supporting them toward better well-being.
Dating violence (DV) among adolescents and young adults is a prevalent public health concern. Research to date has largely focused on heterosexual young people, resulting in the marginalization of the experiences of sexually minoritized young people. We thus sought to assess sexually minoritized young people’s risk of experiencing past-year physical, sexual, and psychological DV victimization, both as a group and relative to their heterosexual peers, using meta-analytic techniques. We first conducted a pre-registered systematic review. To be included, literature had to be peer-reviewed, be published between 2000 and 2023, and report the past year prevalence of DV victimization among school- and community-based samples of sexually minoritized and heterosexual young people (ages 10–25). With the 17 papers that met criteria, we conducted meta-analyses of prevalence proportions and risk ratios to determine the prevalence of these types of DV among sexually minoritized young people, heterosexual young people, and the relative risk comparing the groups. Our findings suggest that sexually minoritized young people were over twice as likely to face physical (RR = 2.22; 95% CI [1.93, 2.54]) and sexual (RR = 2.26 [1.97, 2.58]) DV victimization than their heterosexual peers. Results for increased risk of psychological DV victimization were mixed. This study demonstrates that sexually minoritized young people face a substantial risk of DV victimization. Strengths-based prevention efforts inclusive of sexually minoritized young people are needed, as well as research outside of the Global North.
Adolescent girls receive mixed messages about the value of being sexually attractive to men while at the same time receiving warnings about the risks of being perceived as overly sexual. How girls internalize messages about sexuality and gender may be linked with variations in their social relationships, including their experiences of peer victimization. We propose that internalized sexualization can have different meanings (and hence be linked with different outcomes) depending on other beliefs held by the adolescent about gender (i.e. sexist beliefs). Employing a sample of 202 adolescent girls, we examined associations between internalized sexualization and experiences of both general and sexuality-specific victimization (i.e. slut-shaming), and whether sexist beliefs moderated these associations. Linear regressions showed significant interactions between sexist beliefs and internalized sexualization on both general and sexualization-specific victimization. Alignment between external and internalized gender norms was associated with lower victimization, whereas misalignment was associated with higher vulnerability. These findings also suggest that whether social environments support or challenge sexualized attitudes and feminine gender roles are associated with how girls interpret and cope with peer victimization. These findings highlight how sexist beliefs and internalized sexualization may jointly relate to peer victimization, with implications for prevention and intervention research.
Callous-unemotional (CU) traits characterize a distinct subgroup of children with conduct problems and are linked to poorer quality student-teacher relationships. Knowledge is lacking, however, about the directional dynamics underlying these associations at the within-person level. To address this gap, we examined the within-person associations between CU traits and teacher-child closeness and conflict across elementary school, as well as the invariance of these associations across sexes and reception of specialized services for conduct problems. Data from 463 at-risk children (46.2% girls, 8.35 years at study intake) were collected annually from elementary school teachers and used to conduct random-intercepts cross-lagged panel models decomposing between- from within-person associations between CU traits and teacher-child closeness, and CU traits and teacher-child conflict. Besides associations at the between-person level, these models revealed significant correlations between the within-person components of CU traits and teacher-child closeness, as well as between those of CU traits and teacher-child conflict. Cross-lagged estimates revealed bidirectional within-person associations between CU traits and teacher–child closeness among boys, unidirectional within-person associations from CU traits to teacher–child closeness among girls, and bidirectional within-person associations between CU traits and teacher–child conflict that were invariant across sexes. All models were invariant across reception of specialized services. These results provide further evidence for bidirectional associations between CU traits and student-teacher relationships quality. Interventions deployed within school settings should aim to support teachers in building and maintaining positive relationships and avoiding coercive and conflictual cycles with children presenting these traits to promote better developmental and educational outcomes.
Heterosexist and cissexist violence, as well as sexual violence all are forms of gender-based violence. Focusing on how the victimization and perpetration of these forms of violence are linked can provide theoretical insight into the origins of these types of violence, as well as their function. The objective of this scoping review was to identify quantitative research examining the associations between heterosexist and cissexist violence and sexual violence among adolescents and young adults. We were able to access 40 studies which measured both cissexist and/or heterosexist violence and sexual violence within both general and sexual and gender minority-specific populations. The adolescent literature typically employed general population samples and showed small to moderate cross-sectional links between cissexist and heterosexist violence and sexual violence victimization and perpetration, and small longitudinal links in these same constructs. Among young adults, the first literature identified focused on sexual intimate partner violence among sexual and gender minority individuals and found small or non-significant links between this construct and cissexist and heterosexist and sexual violence. A second literature found weak to strong links between homophobic/transphobic attitudes and sexual violence attitudes and/or behaviours among general samples of young adults. Together, these findings suggest that cissexist and heterosexist violence and sexual violence are linked in complex ways across development, and that interventions may benefit from addressing both forms of violence simultaneously.
University students experience developmental and academic stressors that can predispose them to mental illness symptoms. Sport participation is known to prevent perceived stress and symptoms of mental illness. However, participation in competitive sport may have mixed effects on mental health due to performance pressure. This study aimed (a) to determine whether the number of stressors per category, perceived stress and mental illness symptoms vary with levels of sport participation (competitive, recreational and nonparticipation) and (b) to explore whether sport participation levels moderate associations between stressors, perceived stress (mediator) and mental illness symptoms in university students. To this end, 1,175 university students completed an online survey. Competitive sport was associated with less anxiety and depressive symptoms than nonparticipation and fewer anxiety symptoms than recreational sport, which was associated with fewer depressive symptoms than nonparticipation. Perceived stress mediated most associations between stressor categories and mental illness symptoms. Moreover, sport participation levels moderated the association between academic stressors and perceived stress, highlighting a different symptom development process for competitive sport students. Thus, encouraging recreational and competitive sports participation, addressing avoidable stressors (e.g. academic issues) and intervening on perceived stress seem essential to prevent the onset of mental illness symptoms in this population.

Health care barriers are linked to family-level stress. This study examined how barriers to gender-affirming health care were associated with anxiety and depressive symptoms among parents of transgender and gender diverse (TGD) youth (ages 9–18). Parents of TGD youth from across the United States completed a survey on barriers to accessing gender-affirming health care for their child, as well as on their own anxiety and depressive symptoms (n = 1197). Experiencing barriers to gender-affirming health care were associated with higher parent anxiety and depressive symptoms, suggesting that limiting service access is linked with negative outcomes among parents of TGD youth.

High schools are a prime environment for engaging with adolescents, however only a small fraction of adolescents grappling with a mental health issue pursue help from adults. While obstacles to help–seeking are well–documented, there is a lack of research, especially qualitative studies, identifying the factors that facilitate adolescents’ help seeking at school. To address this gap, individual interviews were conducted with 32 French–speaking adolescents in Quebec (Canada) to examine factors influencing their positive attitudes about seeking help for a mental health problem from an adult at school and explore how these factors varied by type of resource (informal, formal) and mental health issues (internalized, externalized). Using reflexive thematic analysis, three factors were identified: Experiencing a quality relationship, Being listened to and understood, and Believing that help is available. Findings have implications for implementing gatekeeper training in schools and educating adolescents about the benefits of school mental health services
Sexual harassment victimization is prospectively associated with poorer mental health, accounting for other forms of victimization. To better understand the link between childhood conduct problems and vulnerability for sexual harassment, the three objectives of this study were to (1) examine the links between childhood conduct problems and sexual harassment victimization during early adulthood; (2) identify the mediating role of common developmental sequelae of childhood conduct problems (adolescent peer victimization, substance abuse, risky sexual behavior, and number of delinquent peers) in this association; and (3) explore whether these links differed for boys and girls. Participants were drawn from a longitudinal sample that over-recruited children with conduct problems (N = 744; 50.5% conduct problems; age M: 8.42; 47% girls), from Quebec, Canada. Childhood conduct problems were linked to increased sexual harassment victimization in early adulthood (β = 0.08, p < .05), an association that was mediated by adolescent peer victimization (β = 0.04, p < .01; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.01, 0.06) and adolescent substance use (β = 0.02, p < .05; 95% CI: 0.003, 0.05). Differences were not observed across either model for boys and girls. Findings suggest the pertinence of assessing the existing prevention and intervention approaches for populations with conduct problems.
Sexual and gender minorities are overrepresented among victims of sexual violence in higher education settings. This vulnerability encapsulates considerable variability, such that further information in required to tailor prevention and intervention approaches for those most vulnerable. The purpose of this study was to explore whether sexual violence experiences in college settings (SVCS) reported by sexual and gender minority students varied by gender identity (i.e., non-binary, women, men) and modality (i.e., trans or cisgender) of the participants. A total of 3,182 2SLGBTQIA+ participants studying in college settings in Quebec met the inclusion criteria and were included in the analyses. 54.1% of participants reported experiencing at least one SVCS since their arrival at the institution. Overall, cisgender sexual minority men were less likely to report experiencing at least one SVCS situation (vs. trans men, non-binary individuals, cisgender sexual minority women, gender-questioning individuals). Non-binary individuals reported higher co-occurrence of SVCS than cisgender sexual minority men and women. Compared to cisgender sexual minority men, gender-questioning individuals and cisgender sexual minority women reported higher co-occurrence of SVCS. Specific subgroup differences were also observed across gender identity and modality in terms of type of sexual violence reported. The findings support the need for SVCS prevention strategies that address the overlap between sexual violence and homophobic and transphobic discrimination, deconstruct heterocissexist norms, and specifically address the types of sexual violence most prevalent among 2SLGBTQIA+ victims (i.e., being stared at or sexually objectified; being told sexual stories or jokes).
This research aimed to explore social responses to men’s femininity, with particular attention paid to the impact of privilege as detailed in the framework of hybrid masculinities. Generally, men’s femininity is met with condemnation, but those with more privilege may have more leeway than those with less. Additionally, cultural attitudes may be evolving to be less homonegative, which may alter the reception of queer men’s femininity. From interviews with 30 young adult men in a US Southwestern city, we found evidence for compensatory masculinity privilege – allowing femininity based on other successful enactments of masculinity – and ‘gay allowance’ – a form of benevolent prejudice that allowed femininity based on conforming to gay stereotypes. Our results provide empirical evidence for the subjugation of gay masculinity under hegemonic masculinity, as well as the exceptions made for gender-typical men under hybrid masculinity. We illuminate how explicit homonegativity may be decreasing, but femmephobia – the denigration of femininity – is still persistent and prevalent.
Despite evidence that peer victimization is associated with greater symptoms of anxiety and depression, it is less clear whether these associations extend to clinically significant disorders characterized by impairment and distress. It is also unclear whether specific forms of peer victimization are uniquely associated with internalizing disorders. To address these gaps, we examined whether (a) peer victimization was associated with major depression and anxiety disorders, classifications informed by whether symptoms were associated with impairment and distress, and (b) different types of victimization showed unique associations with certain disorders. A population-representative sample of 2278 adolescents (Mage=14.55 years, 49.0 % boys) from the Ontario Child Health Study participated in diagnostic interviews to assess major depressive disorder (MDD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), social phobia (SoP), specific phobia, and separation anxiety disorder. Adolescents also reported on physical, verbal, relational, and cyber-victimization. Logistic regression models tested associations between victimization and disorders. Relational victimization was independently associated with GAD, SoP, and any anxiety disorder, and verbal victimization was independently associated with GAD and any anxiety disorder. All forms of victimization, including cyber-victimization, were associated with MDD, but none independently predicted after adjusting for other types of victimization. Overall, peer victimization was associated with MDD and anxiety disorders, indicating that this experience is linked to elevated mental health symptoms associated with distress and impairment. No form of victimization was uniquely associated with MDD; however, relational victimization was independently associated with GAD, SoP, and any anxiety disorder, highlighting this experience as a specific, key challenge for adolescents with anxiety disorders.
Distinct forms of gender-based victimization (e.g., sexist experiences, slut-shaming, sexual harassment, and homophobic bullying) are often studied in isolation among adolescent girls, yet some girls are likely to experience multiple forms simultaneously. Researchers have theorized that these forms of gender-based victimization can function to regulate culturally acceptable gendered expression and behavior, but more empirical work is needed to understand these linkages. We had two aims: (a) to identify profiles of gender-based victimization (i.e., sexist experiences, slut-shaming, sexual harassment, and homophobic bullying) among adolescent girls and (b) to understand how these profiles are associated with girls’ relationships to gender norms (i.e., gender expression, internalized sexism, internalized sexualization, and sexual identity). We analyzed data from a larger study on adolescents’ peer experiences and attitudes in Québec, Canada (n = 203 girls, Mage = 15.4 years, 30% racialized minorities). We used latent profile analysis to identify patterns of gender-based victimization experiences, and then we used latent variable multinomial regression to test the association between the profiles of victimization and girls’ relationships to gender norms. The best model was a two-profile solution: High Victimization and Low Victimization. Compared to the Low Victimization group, participants in the High Victimization group were more likely to identify as sexual minorities and report higher levels of internalized sexualization. Our findings support intervention and prevention approaches that focus on the links between multiple forms of gender-based violence and that acknowledge sexualization and sexual minority status as risk factors. Ultimately, our results suggest that one function of gender-based victimization is policing gender norms.
Childhood conduct problems are associated with high medical service use in adolescence, though the mechanisms are unclear. The current study examined whether sleep and internalizing problems mediate the association between childhood conduct problems and adolescent medical service usage. Participants were drawn from a longitudinal study (N = 744; 53% boys) evaluating the development of conduct problems among girls and boys (6.3–9.9 years at baseline; Mage = 8.43). Conduct problems, sleep, and internalizing problems were assessed by parents, teachers, and youth. Service use data was collected from public medical records. Significant indirect effects between childhood conduct problems and medical service usage via parent-reported sleep and internalizing problems were observed. Histories of conduct problems were associated with higher levels of sleep and internalizing difficulties which were subsequently linked to higher service usage. Findings support the importance of addressing sleep and internalizing problems in mitigating future health consequences for youth with conduct problems.
Sexual and gender minoritized populations experience more sexual violence in higher education contexts and report more mental health consequences resulting from these experiences than their heterosexual and cisgender peers. A person-centered approach was used to better understand the complex ways that gender identity, trajectory, and expression as well as sexual identity intersect in relation to vulnerability for sexual violence. Our objectives were to examine (a) how experiences of sexual violence and (b) the attribution of sexual violence to gender and sexuality-related characteristics varied across gender and sexuality classes, and (c) how attributing sexual violence experiences to gender and sexuality was associated with trauma symptoms. A sample of 2,936 gender and sexual minoritized general vocational students in Quebec, Canada, completed surveys regarding their experiences of sexual violence; how they attributed these experiences to their gender identity, expression, and trajectory; sexual minority status; and their resulting trauma symptoms. Six classes (questioning gender identity students: plurisexual women, plurisexual men, cisgender gay men, cisgender lesbian women, and transgender/nonbinary students) were identified. Significant differences in both the number of sexual violence experiences and attribution of sexual violence to gender and sexuality were observed across classes. Finally, attributing sexual violence to an aspect of gender or sexuality was associated with higher levels of trauma symptoms, although this association did not vary across gender or sexuality class. The findings highlight the complex ways in which gender and sexuality overlap and the relevance of addressing cissexism and heterosexism in sexual violence prevention and intervention efforts.

Introduction : Gender and sexual minority adolescents experience greater stress and report worse sleep outcomes compared to their cisgender and/or heterosexual peers. Understanding how minority stress and resilience factors are linked to sleep health provides levers for improving sleep within these populations.
Methods : Using a cross-sectional survey of LGBTQ+ adolescents in the US conducted in 2017 (n = 11,282; Mage = 15.6 years; 65% white), we compared gender/sex and sexuality subgroups’ trouble falling asleep and conducted linear regressions relating trouble falling asleep to minority stress (i.e., violent victimization, bias-based victimization, and family rejection) and resilience (i.e., familial warmth, family acceptance, gender-affirming environments, teacher support, trusted adult at school, and presence of a gender-sexuality alliance [GSA]) factors for both gender and sexual minority adolescents.
Results : We found small but significant differences in sleep across gender/sex categories, with gender minorities and youth assigned female at birth having worse sleep than cisgender sexual minorities and youth assigned male at birth, respectively. Further, violent LGBTQ+ victimization and gender expression-based victimization were associated with more trouble falling asleep, and familial warmth was associated with less trouble falling asleep for both groups. For cisgender sexual minorities, family rejection and gender-based victimization were also linked with worse sleep while presence of a GSA and a trusted adult at school were linked with better sleep. For gender minorities, gender-segregated restroom use was also linked with better sleep.
Conclusions : Victimization prevention, increased access to school supports, and improved family connectedness may help enhance LGBTQ+ youth sleep quality and overall health.
Slut-shaming is a popular concept wherein a person (typically girls or women) experiences social sanctioning for engaging in sexual or sexualized behaviors considered in excess of traditional norms relating to female sexuality. The aim of this study was to explore how adolescent girls perceive and interpret slut-shaming, focusing on support seeking for this type of victimization. A thematic analysis was conducted on semi-structured interviews with 19 adolescent girls aged 12–17. The findings revealed three primary themes: Conceptualizations of slut-shaming, Explanations for slut-shaming, and Barriers and facilitators to help-seeking for slut-shaming. Barriers identified included the ineffectiveness of available supports, the normalization of slut-shaming, and feelings of discomfort or shame. Findings emphasize the need for school-based initiatives targeting slut-shaming.
The high prevalence of sexual violence in higher education institutions (SVHE) and its underreporting are well documented. However, recent data remain scarce regarding the lived experiences of individuals who report SVHE to their university and to what extent the institution’s services and resources meet their needs. This study aims to better understand the experiences of individuals who have reported SVHE to their institution and highlights the factors that facilitate or hinder the reporting process. The sample consists of 22 French-speaking participants from seven Canadian universities, including 18 students. The notion of social support emerges as a central theme across both facilitating factors and barriers to reporting. In participants’ accounts, support is not exclusively the responsibility of the intervention teams designated by the institutions to support victims; rather, support should be considered throughout the reporting process because it involves a range of university resources, including student services. Regarding obstacles, the most frequently reported barriers relate to organizational or structural aspects of universities and the negative perception of institutional responses, two areas over which institutions have significant leverage to improve upon. The findings inform recommendations to improve and enhance current support practices for individuals affected by sexual violence, as well as training initiatives aimed at the broader university community
An increasing number of studies have documented the heterogeneous nature of dating violence among youth using person-centered approaches. These studies have identified distinct subgroups of individuals who share similarities in their experiences with different forms of dating violence. Identifying dating violence classes is an essential first step for informing prevention and to guide future research. The current systematic review aimed to examine and synthesize the literature on person-centered approaches on dating violence among adolescents and young adults as well as to identify sex or gender differences. Five databases were searched to identify peer-reviewed studies (2000−2022) and theses (2015–2022) written in French, English, or Spanish, with participants aged 11 to 25. Only studies using latent class or latent profile analyses on dating violence victimization and/or perpetration (psychological, physical, and/or sexual) with at least two forms of violence were included. Drawn from 22 studies, findings highlight four typical classes of dating violence: a little or no involvement class (the largest class), a psychological violence class (typically the second largest class), a psychological and physical violence class and a multiple forms of violence class. Results on sex or gender differences are mixed. Similar numbers of classes were generally identified for boys and girls, although two studies found a greater number of classes for girls. Variations in the operationalization of dating violence limit result comparability. Nonetheless, results highlight that prevention should focus on psychological violence, as nearly all individuals involved in dating violence are involved in this form of violence.

Understanding the link between intimate partner violence and relationship satisfaction is important because of the prospective links between this type of satisfaction and mental and physical health. The need to better understand experiences of intimate violence among plurisexual people (those who experience sexual and/or romantic attraction to more than one gender) is highlighted by the fact that they disproportionately experience higher levels of intimate partner violence and report poorer romantic relationship quality than both heterosexual and lesbian/gay people (i.e., monosexual people, or people who are only attracted to one sex/gender). Identity abuse, a form of psychological abuse based in stigmatizing someone’s sexual identity, can be particularly detrimental for relationship quality among plurisexual people, who experience stigma from monosexual people, although this may vary across gender identity. In the current study, we examined how experiences of identity abuse were associated with relationship satisfaction among a sample of 538 partnered plurisexual young adults, focusing on differences by gender identity. Identity abuse was associated with poorer relationship satisfaction, even after accounting for other forms of intimate partner violence. Results suggest that identity abuse can be particularly harmful for relationship quality; however, this association held for cisgender women and transgender/nonbinary adults but not cisgender men. The findings of the current study suggest the importance of examining how stigma can occur within plurisexual people’s romantic relationships.

Services developed to address conduct problems in school contexts show limited efficacy. The current study examined how young adults with childhood histories of conduct problems retrospectively understood service efficacy, inefficacy, and what suggestions they had for service improvement. Participants were 41 young adults from Québec (17–21 years old; 53.7% women; 78% white; 77% below the low-income cut-off for single-person households) who had received services for conduct problems starting in childhood. They completed semi-structured interviews about their service usage experiences. Thematic analysis was used to identify how participants discussed themes relating to efficacy, inefficacy, and service improvement. While considerable overlap was observed in how participants and educational professionals understand efficacy (e.g., reduced symptoms) and inefficacy (e.g., worsening symptoms), participants also noted key differences in terms of how they perceived efficacy (i.e., using services to avoid punishment) that are not generally considered by educational professionals. Including user perspectives when assessing service efficacy and inefficacy can provide crucial insight for improving services for youth with conduct problems, providing a starting point for understanding how users evaluate service success, and how they saw services as influencing their psychosocial outcomes.
