To describe the prevalence of sexual identity by grade, racial and ethnic identities, and sex assigned at birth.
Data came from the statewide 2022 Minnesota Student Survey of eighth, ninth, and 11th grade students (N = 99,688). Chi-square tests compared the prevalence of sexual identity across grades, racial/ethnic groups, and sex assigned at birth.
Over a fifth (22.2%) of students self-reported a minoritized sexual identity. Bisexual and pansexual were most common among Native+ (12.3%, 5.7%, respectively), multiracial (11.6%, 4.4%, respectively), and Latina/x/o (10.4%, 4.1%, respectively) youth. Asexuality was consistently reported across grades, and eighth graders reported gay/lesbian, bisexual, and queer identities less than 11th graders. Youth assigned female at birth were more likely to report gay/lesbian, bisexual, asexual, pansexual, queer, and questioning than youth assigned male at birth.
Results support the continued use of further expanded sexual identities in epidemiologic surveys.
按年级、种族和民族身份以及出生时分配的性别描述性身份认同的流行情况。
数据来自全州 2022 年对八年级、九年级和十一年级学生的明尼苏达州学生调查(N=99688)。卡方检验比较了不同年级、种族/族裔群体和出生时分配的性别的性身份认同的流行情况。
超过五分之一(22.2%)的学生自我报告了少数性身份认同。在原住民+(12.3%,分别为 5.7%)、多种族(11.6%,4.4%,分别)和拉丁裔/女/变性人(10.4%,4.1%,分别)青年中,双性恋和泛性恋最为常见。在各个年级,无性恋都有报告,八年级学生报告的同性恋/双性恋、双性恋和酷儿身份比十一年级学生少。出生时被分配为女性的青少年比出生时被分配为男性的青少年更有可能报告同性恋/双性恋、双性恋、无性恋、泛性恋、酷儿和疑问身份。
结果支持在流行病学调查中继续使用进一步扩展的性身份认同。
