Abstract

Gender identity and sexual attraction are important determinants of health. This study reports distributions of gender identity and sexual attraction among Canadian youth using data from the 2019 Canadian Health Survey on Children and Youth. Among youth aged 12 to 17, 0.2% are nonbinary and 0.2% are transgender. Among youth aged 15 to 17, 21.0%, comprising more females than males, report attraction not exclusive to the opposite gender. Given known associations between health and gender and sexual attraction, oversampling of sexual minority groups is recommended in future studies to obtain reliable estimates for identifying inequities and informing policy.

加拿大青年的性别认同和性吸引力:2019年加拿大儿童和青年健康调查的结果。

性别认同和性吸引力是健康的重要决定因素。本研究使用2019年加拿大儿童和青少年健康调查的数据，报告了加拿大青少年性别认同和性吸引力的分布情况。在12至17岁的青少年中，0.2%是非二元性的，0.2%是跨性别的。在15岁至17岁的青少年中，21.0%的女性比男性多，他们表示自己并不只对异性有吸引力。鉴于健康与性别和性吸引之间已知的联系，建议在今后的研究中对性少数群体进行过度抽样，以获得确定不平等现象和为政策提供信息的可靠估计。
