This study aimed to examine the association between sexual orientation and health disparities among a stratified random sample of 3776 secondary students in Hong Kong. The prevalence of homosexuality and bisexuality were 1.5% and 2.6% in boys and 1.8% and 3.7% in girls, respectively. A total of 10.7% of boys and 8.8% of girls were unsure of their sexual orientation. Homosexual and bisexual boys reported poorer physical and mental health than their heterosexual peers. Homosexual and bisexual boys were more likely to engage in smoking, frequent drinking, and vaginal sex and be subjected to sexually transmitted disease and sexual victimization. However, lesbian and bisexual girls were less likely to engage in risky health behaviors except for smoking and being subjected to sexual victimization. There is a gender-specific problem that may warrant prevention and intervention programs to address the unique health issues facing homosexual and bisexual adolescents in Hong Kong.
本研究旨在调查香港3776名中学生分层随机样本中性取向与健康差异之间的关联。男孩中同性恋和双性恋的患病率分别为1.5%和2.6%，女孩中分别为1.8%和3.7%。共有10.7%的男孩和8.8%的女孩不确定自己的性取向。同性恋和双性恋男孩报告的身心健康状况比异性恋同龄人差。同性恋和双性恋男孩更有可能吸烟、频繁饮酒、进行阴道性交，并遭受性传播疾病和性侵害。然而，女同性恋和双性恋女孩除吸烟和遭受性侵害外，从事危险健康行为的可能性较小。存在一个特定性别的问题，可能需要预防和干预项目来解决香港同性恋和双性恋青少年面临的独特健康问题。
