The Health and Wellbeing of secondary school students in New Zealand: Results for young people attracted to the same or both sexes

Abstract

This report presents information on the health and wellbeing of secondary school students who report being sexually attracted to others of the same sex or to both sexes. The information is drawn from New Zealand’s second national youth health and wellbeing survey, conducted in 2007 and in particular from the 8,002 secondary school students who responded to the questions on sexual attraction. Selected findings are compared with those from the first survey, conducted in 2001.
