Abstract	Suicide is a leading cause of death amongst adolescents, and transgender and gender diverse youth are at especially high risk for suicidal ideation and attempt compared with cisgender peers. Using established ideation-to-action models of suicide and the Minority Stress Model, this project used the 2019 results of the Oregon Healthy Teens survey to build regression models identifying suicide risk, protective factors, and differences on these amongst trans/gender diverse youth and cisgender youth. Results show that trans/gender diverse youth were at higher risk for suicidal ideation compared with cisgender youth, and demonstrated higher levels of risk factors and lower levels of protective factors. Results also highlighted the importance of minority stress factors in risk for suicide attempt. These results support increased specialized intervention efforts, built with intersectional identities in mind.
