Credits: 1 CE Hour 

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer (LGBQ) youth are at a heightened risk for depression compared to their heterosexual peers. Research is needed to identify modifiable risk and protective factors for depression in this vulnerable population in order to develop more effective prevention and treatment strategies. Results indicate that risk and protective factors exist at multiple levels of influence. Prominent risk factors for depression include maladaptive coping, parental rejection, negative interpersonal interactions, negative religious experiences, school bullying victimization, and violence victimization in community settings. Prominent protective factors include a positive LGBQ identity, self-esteem, social support from friends, and family support.
