Gender identity and sexual attraction among Canadian youth: findings from the 2019 Canadian Health Survey on Children and Youth. / Identité de genre et attirance sexuelle chez les jeunes Canadiens : résultats de l'Enquête canadienne sur la santé des enfants et des jeunes de 2019.

Gender and sexual attraction as a dimension of sexual orientation are important determinants of health among youth. Collecting gender and sexual attraction information as a routine part of public health surveillance is important for identifying inequities and informing policy. This study provides nationally representative estimates for the distribution of gender and sexual attraction among Canadian youth. This study identifies populations (nonbinary, transgender and same gender­attracted youth) that require oversampling or other approaches to ensure that reliable estimates can be obtained in public health surveillance.
