Abstract:
Transgender and gender-diverse youth experience significant health disparities across numerous domains of health, including sexual health. Among general populations, parent connectedness has been strongly associated with youth sexual health. The relationships between parent connectedness and sexual health indicators were investigated. Multivariate logistic regression models, stratified by the sex assigned at birth, tested associations between parent connectedness - youths perceptions of parent caring and parent–youth communication - and eight sexual health indicators: ever having had sex, having multiple sexual partners in the past year, pregnancy involvement, substance use at last sex, partner communication about STI prevention, partner communication about pregnancy prevention, condom use at last sex and pregnancy prevention methods at last sex. It was concluded that parent connectedness promotes sexual health among transgender and gender-diverse youth and may provide a point of intervention.
