Abstract: To reduce the disparities in health-risk behaviors among sexual minority students, it is important to raise awareness of the problem; facilitate access to education, health care, and evidence-based interventions designed to address priority health-risk behaviors among sexual minority youth; and continue to implement YRBSS at the national, state, and large urban school district levels to document and monitor the effect of broad policy and programmatic interventions on the health-related behaviors of sexual mino… Show more

“…Sexual identity was included because rates of substance use and violence victimization are significantly higher among sexual minority high school students. 29 It was necessary to include substance use covariates in the models for DVV and NMUPD because past researchers have demonstrated that other types of substance use are associated with DVV and NMUPD. 22,26,30 Lastly, linear contrasts were performed to compare NMUPD with levels of any physical and any sexual DVV frequency.…”

“…For example, in a Canadian study of 12‐ to 18‐year‐olds, around 1% of the boys and 3% of the girls identified themselves as bisexual, and less than 1% of them as lesbian or gay (Saewyc, Poon, Wang, Homma, & Smith, 2007). In a U.S. study (Kann et al., 2016), lesbian and gay young people represented 2% and bisexuals 6% within 14‐ to 18‐year‐olds. However, a discrepancy was observed between sexual identity and the gender of sexual partners.…”

“…These dimensions show divergence (Diamond, 2003; Geary et al., 2018; Kann et al., 2016). Therefore, assessing sexual orientation along only one dimension may not identify sexual minority youth in an inclusive and comprehensive manner.…”

“…Sin embargo, no podemos afirmar que occidente constituya un oasis de libertades y derechos para el colectivo de Lesbianas, Gays, Bisexuales, Transexuales, Intersexuales, Queer y Questioning (LGBTIQQ), sino más bien un espejismo. Así, tal y como ponen de manifiesto las últimas macroencuestas internacionales, el rechazo a la diversidad sexual continúa siendo un gran mal de múltiples caras, desde algunas más hostiles y explícitas hasta otras aparentemente más benévolas y silenciosas, que nos recorre de norte a sur y de este a oeste (European Union Agency for Fundamental Righs -FRA-, 2014Kann et al, 2016).…”

“…En EE.UU los resultados de una encuesta nacional llevada a cabo en 25 estados en 2015 (Kann et al, 2016), pone de relieve que un 60.4% de los/as adolescentes LGBTIQQ frente al 26.4% de sus iguales que reproducen la norma de género se han sentido tristes casi todos los días durante las últimas 2 o más semanas. En esta línea, el 42.8% frente al 14.8% ha considerado seriamente suicidarse en el último año.…”
