49 Key Stats 10% of sexually-active students statewide report same-sex contact (13% in MKE) 9% of all students statewide identified at L,G,B or unsure in 2011 (15% in MKE) Same-sex youth were… 5 times as likely to attempt suicide 4 times as likely to be forced into sexual activity 3 times as likely to skip school because they feel unsafe 2 times as likely to use marijuana or smoke cigarettes ½ as likely to feel they belong at school Wisconsin Department of Health Services

50 Implications 1.Significant disparities exist for sexual minority youth both by behavior and identity 2.School violence, mental health, and suicide risk among sexual minority youth must be addressed 3.Protective factors should also be addressed
