Background: There is evidence of heightened vulnerability to nonfatal suicidal behaviors among LGBT populations yet a paucity of studies into fatal behaviors. Aim: The specific aim of this article was to identify factors related to suicide in LGBT individuals in Australia. Method: The psychological autopsy (PA) method with a matched case-control study design was used. PA interviews were conducted with 27 next-of-kin of an LGBT person that had died by suicide. Three living LGBT controls per suicide case, matched by age and gender, were also interviewed. Results: The key factors relating to suicide in LGBT people were a lack of acceptance by family and self (reflected in higher internalized homophobia and shame), negative feelings about own sexuality\/gender, and dissatisfaction with appearance. LGBT people who died by suicide also tended to go through coming out milestones 2 years earlier than controls. There was a higher prevalence of aggressive behaviors and a more predominant history of physical and sexual abuse. Additionally, there was greater incidence of depression and anxiety and alcohol and substance use disorders. Conclusion: Specific predictive factors for suicide in LGBT populations in Australia were identified, including significantly poorer mental health outcomes and more violence across an array of measures. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1027\/0227-5910\/a000423","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,9,23]],"date-time":"2016-09-23T10:20:29Z","timestamp":1474626029000},"page":"361-369","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":47,"title":["Factors Related to Suicide in LGBT Populations"],"prefix":"10.1027","volume":"37","author":[{"given":"Delaney Michael","family":"Skerrett","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Australian Institute for Suicide Research and Prevention (AISRAP), National Centre                 of Excellence in Suicide Prevention, World Health Organization Collaborating Centre for Research and Training in Suicide Prevention, Griffith University, Mt Gravatt, QLD, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kairi","family":"K\u00f5lves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Australian Institute for Suicide Research and Prevention (AISRAP), National Centre                 of Excellence in Suicide Prevention, World Health Organization Collaborating Centre for Research and Training in Suicide Prevention, Griffith University, Mt Gravatt, QLD, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Diego","family":"De Leo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Australian Institute for Suicide Research and Prevention (AISRAP), National Centre                 of Excellence in Suicide Prevention, World Health Organization Collaborating Centre for Research and Training in Suicide Prevention, Griffith University, Mt Gravatt, QLD, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"101","reference":[{"key":"c1","volume-title":"Survey of Mental Health and Wellbeing 2007","author":"Australian Bureau of Statistics","year":"2010"},{"key":"c2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1027\/0227-5910.25.4.147"},{"key":"c3","unstructured":"Bille-Brahe, U. & Jensen, B.
