Figure 2. Protective Sexual Health Behaviors During Last Sexual Encounter among Sexual and Gender Minority Students in the CCHS

Source: These data are from the Community College Health Study (CCHS), which occurred from 2021 to 2024 and enrolled 18–19-year-old students from community college campuses across the US.
Notes: Sexual minority and gender minority student categories are not mutually exclusive. Sexual minority students include those identifying as bisexual, pansexual, gay/lesbian, questioning, asexual, queer, or another sexual identity/prefer to self-describe (n = 613). Respondents who wrote in straight were recorded as heterosexual and excluded. Gender minority students include those who identify as transgender and/or nonbinary (n = 151). Analyses of protection/contraception use at last sex were limited to participants reporting the relevant behavior.
