The authors of the article conducted a study of the relationship between sexual orientation and suicide risks. They worked on an analysis that included information about the suicidal tendencies of people of different genders with different sexual preferences. The research was conducted by collecting data from local websites, as well as by interviewing.

In addition, the researchers demonstrate the results of suicidal tendencies and the use of psychoactive substances by people belonging to LGBT and heterosexual groups. In their conclusion, the authors believe that the research they conducted should demonstrate to schools, families, and other social institutions about the danger of which sexual minorities are warned. The authors summarize their research with recommendations that it is necessary to strengthen preventive measures to reduce the risk of suicide and direct them to work with schools and communities. The information is presented in the form of facts, without any biases.
