The Varying Effects of Religiousness on Well-Being for Latter-Day Saint Sexual Minorities
Although religiousness may promote stigma and discrimination toward sexual minorities (SM), at least some SMs report benefitting from their religiousness. It is unclear, however, both how and why religiousness promotes well-being among these SMs. The present study uses a sample of 403 Latter-day Saint SMs to assess how behavioral, psychological, and social components of religiousness affect various aspects of well-being. Path analyses revealed th…
Massed brief cognitive behavioral therapy (mBCBT) for suicide prevention
Suicidal patients often attempt suicide early in therapy. • Suicide-focused brief cognitive behavioral therapy (BCBT) reduces suicide risk. • Daily BCBT sessions daily (“massed” BCBT) could accelerate suicide risk reductions. • In massed BCBT, clinical outcomes improved within 2-3 weeks. • Follow-up care after massed BCBT may be needed to preserve early gains. Brief cognitive behavioral therapy (BCBT) for suicide prevention has been shown to sign…
Religion/Spirituality, Stress, and Resilience Among Sexual and Gender Minorities
Although many sexual and gender minorities (SGMs) consider themselves religious or spiritual, the impact of this religiousness or spirituality (RS) on their health is poorly understood. We introduce the religious/spiritual stress and resilience model (RSSR) to provide a robust framework for understanding the variegated ways that RS influences the health of SGMs. The RSSR bridges existing theorizing on minority stress, structural stigma, and RS-he…
Stigma and negative mental health outcomes in sexual/gender minority youth in Utah
Exploring mental health and help-seeking attitudes among sexual minoritized adults in Utah
Sexual minoritized individuals living in Utah face unique social challenges that may adversely affect their mental health and ability to seek help for mental health problems. Due to the large social presence of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, sexual minoritized individuals living in Utah may face religious-based stigma that negatively impacts their mental health and creates barriers to getting help from family, mental health prof…
The Impact of Changes in Religion on Health Among Sexual Minority Mormons
The current study presents data from the first longitudinal examination of sexual minority (SM) Mormons (n = 132). Over the course of 2 years, SM Mormons reported decreased psychological (e.g., orthodox beliefs), behavioral (e.g., service attendance), and social (interpersonal religious commitment) religiousness. Analyses revealed that, at baseline, service attendance was related to lower levels of meaning in life and higher levels of depression …
Is Conservative Religiousness Inherently Associated with Poorer Health for Sexual Minorities
Suicidal ideation among active and nonactive/former Latter‐day Saint sexual minorities
Sexual minorities (SMs) in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter‐day Saints (LDS) experience a number of unique risks related to their religious/spiritual and SM experience that may increase their likelihood of experiencing suicidal ideation (SI) and ultimately dying by suicide. However, it is unclear which aspects of these experiences are responsible for elevated SI. It is further unclear whether religiousness/spirituality and minority stress rel…
Adverse Childhood Experiences, Suicidal/Self-Harming Thoughts, and Suicide Attempts Among LGB and Heterosexual Utahns
Current research suggests that sexual minorities living in Utah may be at higher risk for experiencing suicidal/self-harming thoughts and suicide attempts than heterosexuals in Utah. However, to date no research has been conducted examining potential reasons sexual minorities living in Utah may be at higher risk. Using two representative samples of Utahns, we examine (a) disparities in adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) between sexual minoritie…
Historical, Doctrinal, and Empirical Insights into Latter-day Saint Sexual Minorities’ Psychological and Interpersonal Functioning
There is a growing need for culturally specific information regarding the intersections of religion, spirituality, and various sexual orientations/attractions. In this article, we attempt to provide clinicians, scholars, advocacy groups, and religious organizations with salient information regarding the psychological and interpersonal functioning of current and former members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) who identify a…
Intersecting Identities and Nonsuicidal Self-Injury among Youth
Recent research suggests that intersecting marginalized identities may be important in explaining suicide-related mental health disparities. However, inconsistent findings have emerged regarding nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI). Guided by an intersectionality framework, we examined relations between identity and NSSI using a representative sample of 8th through 12th graders from Utah (N = 49,425). The independent influence of sexual orientation, ge…
Family, faith, and suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs) among LGBTQ youth in Utah
Religiousness and Minority Stress in Conservatively Religious Sexual Minorities
Sexual minorities who engage in conservative religions may experience both stress and support from their engagement with their faith. However, it is unclear how religion/spirituality and minority stress may simultaneously affect mental health. To address this gap, we recruited 1,083 U.S. adults reporting varied engagement with a conservative religious tradition, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon; LDS), belonging to one of fo…
Reactionary Deconversion from Mormonism
In contrast to a growing body of literature examining the experiences and trends of those who leave their faith tradition-particularly among Christian denominations-relatively little is known about those who specifically disaffiliate from Mormonism, although some evidence suggests that former Mormons may be especially likely to embrace secularity or irreligion rather than other religious beliefs and practices. Pursuant to empirically investigatin…
