Summary

This study tested a school-based program called Proud & Empowered, designed to help LGBTQ students cope with minority stress and improve mental health. About 228 high school students took part. The program was led by school counselors and social workers. The study was terminated early, so we have less information than planned, but the goal was to reduce depression, anxiety, PTSD, and suicide risk.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Proud & Empowered school-based behavioral program
What this could lead to
If effective, this program could provide schools with a practical way to support LGBTQ students' mental health and reduce stress-related harms.
What could go wrong
The study was terminated early, so results are limited. It is unclear if the program works better than usual school support, and findings may not apply to all schools or regions.
