Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to contribute to this Special Issue of IJERPH entitled “LGBTQ+ Bullying and Negative Psychosocial Outcomes: Identifying Protective and Resilience Factors”. We are seeking empirical research articles and reviews of the literature on topics related to bullying experiences of adolescents (ages 10–21) who identify as LGBTQ and protective factors that moderate the association between bullying based on sexual orientation and gender-identity-associated outcomes. We encourage researchers who are interested in this Special Issue to contact us at fl4684@wayne.edu and espelage@unc.edu.
