the role of family acceptance as a protective factor for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) adolescents and young adults has not been established.
a quantitative measure with items derived from prior qualitative work retrospectively assessed family accepting behaviors in response to LGBT adolescents' sexual orientation and gender expression and their relationship to mental health, substance abuse, and sexual risk in young adults (N= 245).
family acceptance predicts greater self-esteem, social support, and general health status; it also protects against depression, substance abuse, and suicidal ideation and behaviors.
family acceptance of LGBT adolescents is associated with positive young adult mental and physical health. Interventions that promote parental and caregiver acceptance of LGBT adolescents are needed to reduce health disparities.
家庭接纳作为女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋和跨性别（LGBT）青少年及年轻人的保护因素，其作用尚未得到明确。
一项定量测量，其项目源自先前的定性研究，回顾性评估了家庭针对LGBT青少年的性取向和性别表达所采取的接纳行为，以及这些行为与年轻人（N = 245）心理健康、药物滥用和性风险之间的关系。
家庭接纳预示着更高的自尊、社会支持和总体健康状况；它还能预防抑郁、药物滥用以及自杀意念和行为。
家庭对LGBT青少年的接纳与年轻人积极的身心健康相关。需要开展干预措施，以促进父母和照顾者对LGBT青少年的接纳，从而减少健康差距。
