LGBQ+ Youth Reported Poorer Mental Health than Straight Youth
Data is for youth ages 18-29. Mental health scores were created using answers to four questions and are on a scale of 0 to 3, with a higher score indicating better mental health.
Note: Youth who identified as bisexual or pansexual, on the asexual spectrum or aromantic, a different identity, or undecided were placed in the "other sexual identity" category. Trans youth were not included in this analysis.
