{"doi":"10.1002/jad.12520","title":"Minority Stress, Resilience, and Trouble Falling Asleep Among Gender and Sexual Minority Adolescents","abstract":"INTRODUCTION: Gender and sexual minority adolescents experience greater stress and report worse sleep outcomes compared to their cisgender and/or heterosexual peers. Understanding how minority stress and resilience factors are linked to sleep health provides levers for improving sleep within these populations. METHODS: = 15.6 years; 65% white), we compared gender/sex and sexuality subgroups' trouble falling asleep and conducted linear regressions relating trouble falling asleep to minority stress (i.e., violent victimization, bias-based victimization, and family rejection) and resilience (i.e., familial warmth, family acceptance, gender-affirming environments, teacher support, trusted adult at school, and presence of a gender-sexuality alliance [GSA]) factors for both gender and sexual minority adolescents. RESULTS: We found small but significant differences in sleep across gender/sex categories, with gender minorities and youth assigned female at birth having worse sleep than cisgender sexual minorities and youth assigned male at birth, respectively. Further, violent LGBTQ+ victimization and gender expression-based victimization were associated with more trouble falling asleep, and familial warmth was associated with less trouble falling asleep for both groups. For cisgender sexual minorities, family rejection and gender-based victimization were also linked with worse sleep while presence of a GSA and a trusted adult at school were linked with better sleep. For gender minorities, gender-segregated restroom use was also linked with better sleep. CONCLUSIONS: Victimization prevention, increased access to school supports, and improved family connectedness may help enhance LGBTQ+ youth sleep quality and overall health.","journal":"Journal of Adolescence","year":2025,"id":544599,"datarank":0.0,"base_score":0.0,"endowment":0.0,"self_citation_contribution":0.0,"citation_network_contribution":0.0,"self_endowment_contribution":0.0,"citer_contribution":0.0,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":1,"citer_count":0,"citers_with_citation_signal":0,"citers_with_endowment":0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":0.9446,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":true,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":"2025-01-01","fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":1434721,"name":"René‐Marc Lavigne","orcid":"0009-0002-6076-5649","position":1,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":353412,"name":"Alexa Martin‐Storey","orcid":"0000-0003-0026-1545","position":2,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":1434722,"name":"Jean‐Pascal Lemelin","orcid":"0000-0003-1114-2234","position":3,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":299506,"name":"Ryan J.
