Note. Values are unstandardized coefficient estimates, their standard errors (SE), and 95% confidence intervals (CI). M. duration = membership duration; S. minority = sexual minority; R. minority = racial/ethnic minority; C. male = cisgender male; G. expansive = gender expansive; Hope W1 = initial hope at Wave 1; Victimization = reported experiences of peer victimization; GSA support = perceived support from GSA; GSA info/res. = information and resources received from GSA; GSA advocate = advocacy done in GSA; Victim × support = interaction between victimization and GSA support to predict hope at Wave 2; Victim × info/res. = interaction between victimization and GSA information and resources to predict hope at Wave 2; Victim × advocate = interaction between victimization and GSA advocacy to predict hope at Wave 2; N. advisors = whether there was more than one advisor in the GSA; N. meetings = number of GSA meetings held since November/Wave 1; Year = year of participation in project.
