Comparing asexual and non-asexual sexual minority adolescents and young adults: stressors, suicidality and mental and behavioural health risk outcomes

Lauren B. McInroy et al.

Summary: This study investigates the differences in internal and external stressors, mental health, and health risk behaviors between asexual youth and other sexual minority youth. The findings suggest that asexual youth experience higher levels of internalized LGBTQ-phobia and poorer mental health, but they face less interpersonal discrimination and engage in fewer health risk behaviors.

Gay-Straight Alliances, School Functioning, and Mental Health: Associations for Students of Color and LGBTQ Students

Laura Baams et al.

Summary: Research found that students in schools with GSAs had better school functioning, lower substance use, and better mental health. The association between GSA presence and mental health and substance use was not as strong for students of color as it was for non-Hispanic white students. Additionally, LGBTQ students did not benefit as much in terms of school functioning from the presence of GSAs compared to non-LGBTQ students.

Summary: Research shows that individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are more likely to identify as asexual or on the asexual spectrum. In a study of young women with ASD, those on the asexual spectrum reported lower sexual desire and behaviors, but higher sexual satisfaction, along with lower generalized anxiety symptoms.
