LGBTQ adolescents experience higher rates of mental health disorders than their heterosexual peers. The purpose of this systematic review of the literature was to examine studies evaluating social support and its effects on mental health in the LGBTQ adolescent population. Higher levels of social support were associated with positive self-esteem. Lack of social support (or low social support) was associated with higher levels of depression, anxiety, alcohol or drug misuse, risky sexual behaviors, shame, and low self-esteem. Interdisciplinary research teams from multiple and diverse professions could provide valuable insight supporting the development of inclusive and comprehensive interventions programs for this population.
LGBTQ青少年比异性恋同龄人患心理健康障碍的几率更高。本系统文献综述的目的是审查评估LGBTQ青少年群体中社会支持及其对心理健康影响的研究。较高水平的社会支持与积极的自尊相关。缺乏社会支持（或社会支持水平低）与更高水平的抑郁、焦虑、酒精或药物滥用、危险的性行为、羞耻感和低自尊相关。来自多个不同专业的跨学科研究团队可以提供有价值的见解，以支持为这一群体制定包容性和综合性的干预项目。
