2024 Mexico national survey on the mental health of LGBTQ+ young people

The 2024 México National Survey on the Mental Health of LGBTQ+ Young People is a groundbreaking study that captures the experiences of over 10,000 LGBTQ+ young people aged 13 to 24 across México. This inaugural report presents findings on the mental health of LGBTQ+ young people  in  México, an area in which research has been historically scarce. The survey found that over half of the participants in our study seriously considered suicide in the past year, with trans and nonbinary youth reporting significantly higher rates. Additionally, the study highlights key issues such as minority  stress, discrimination, and the lack of access to affirming spaces, which are closely associated with these distressing mental health outcomes. Drawn from a comprehensive online survey, these data underscore the urgency of developing effective mental health support and proactive suicide prevention strategies for  LGBTQ+ young people in México.
