In a new, first-of-its-kind study published in the Journal of Youth and Adolescence, University of Delaware Assistant Professor Eric K. Layland and co-authors Richard Bränström of the Karolinska Institutet, and Gabriel Murchison and John Pachankis of Yale University have investigated the timing of developmental milestones for more than 100,000 lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) adolescents and adults across 28 European countries.
"For LGB people, many of these identity and social milestones occur during the critical developmental period of adolescence. Results of this study add to other research showing protective policy can benefit LGB health by showing more protective policy can contribute to an environment where young LGB people can openly share their identity with others and spend less time in isolation."
For this study, Layland and his co-authors used data gathered by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Human Rights on LGB participants' age, , sexual identity and the relevant developmental milestones. These data were from the European Union Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex Survey II, which was administered online between May and July 2019.affecting lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people across European Union member states. The survey was developed by a cross-European team of LGBTI topic experts and translated into 31 languages.
