LGBTQA+ Mental Health and Suicidality: Tasmania (TAS) Briefing Paper - LGBTIQ+ Health Australia

LGBTQA+ Mental Health and Suicidality: Tasmania (TAS) Briefing Paper

This briefing paper documents the rates and associations of mental health and suicidality for LGBTQA+ community members in Tasmania based on data from three major surveys of LGBTQA+ health and wellbeing - Private Lives 3Writing Themselves In 4, and Pride and Pandemic - bringing together findings in a clear, easy-to-use format, broken down on a state-by-state basis. It focuses on State- and Territory-level rates of suicidality, mental ill-health, healthcare service access and modalities, risk factors such as discrimination and harassment experiences, and protective factors such as community- and school-based belonging. Each report also documents the association between these factors and levels of suicidality.
