New Paper Alert: Complex outness patterns among sexual minority youth

Check out “Complex outness patterns among sexual minority youth: A latent class analysis” which has been published in Journal of Youth and Adolescence!

The goal of this study was to explore demographic patterns of outness in order to examine whether patterns of outness were associated with depression, family rejection, and bullying. Sexual minority youth (SMY) in classes that were defined by mixed and low outness had the highest depression. SMY in classes defined by higher outness to family and peers generally reported greater family rejection and bullying.
