“…Like several previous studies of sexual minority girls (Goodenow et al, 2008;Maguen et al, 2002;Rosario et al, 2001;Saewyc et al, 2006), our findings document nontrivial amounts of risk behaviors with males, even among girls identifying as lesbian and gay. Further, we also found greater risk behaviors among certain racial/ethnic minority girls, relative to girls identifying as White-a finding that is consistent with one of the few other studies of nonheterosexual adolescents that had an adequate sample size to do racial/ethnic group comparisons (Goodenow et al, 2008).…”

“…Specifically, sexual minority adolescent girls report higher rates of HIV-related risk behaviors than their heterosexual peers, including having sex with multiple partners, engaging in unprotected vaginal intercourse, and using injection drugs (Goodenow et al, 2008;Saewyc et al, 2006). In addition, many sexual minority adolescent girls engage in sexual relations with high-risk partners, including gay or bisexual men and injection drug users (Maguen, Floyd, Bakeman, & Armistead, 2002;Rosario, Hunter, Maguen, Gwadz, & Smith, 2001).…”

“…This research focuses on issues such as suicide (Almeida, Johnson, Corliss, Molnar, & Azrael, 2009;Li Kitts, 2005;Saewyc, 2007;Silenzio, Pena, Duberstein, Cerel, & Knox, 2007), sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV/AIDS (Garafalo, Herrick, Mustanski, & Donenberg, 2007;Harper, 2007;Rhodes, McCoy, Hergenrather, Omli, & Durant, 2007;Saewyc et al, 2006), substance abuse (Easton, Jackson, Mowery, Comeau, & Sell, 2008;Kipke et al, 2007;Marshal, Friedman, Stall, & Thompson, 2009;Rhodes et al, 2007), and victimization (Chesir-Teran & Hughes, 2009;Saewyc et al, 2006;Williams, Connolly, Pepler, & Craig, 2005). Within this literature, there is a lack of academic focus around the processes leading up to romantic relationships for sexual-minority youth (Diamond, 2003;Diamond, Savin-Williams, & Dubé, 1999;Eyre, Arnold, Peterson, & Strong, 2007;Savin-Williams, 2003; Smith, Guthrie, & Oakley, 2005).…”

“…L'analyse des données de l'étude états-unienne « Growing Up Today » (10 685 adolescents et adolescentes, dont 329 GLBQ), montre que les jeunes lesbiennes sont presque dix fois plus enclines à fumer au minimum chaque semaine que les jeunes hétérosexuels, garçons et filles, et davantage que les jeunes gais (Austin et autres 2004). Au Canada, Saewyc et autres (2007) Au Canada, Saewyc et autres (2008aSaewyc et autres ( , 2008bSaewyc et autres ( , 2007Saewyc et autres ( , 2006 ont publié plusieurs analyses portant sur les problématiques de santé qui touchent les jeunes des minorités sexuelles, comparativement aux jeunes hétérosexuels, à partir des données de l'enquête BC Adolescent Health Survey (1992, 1998 et 2003). Cette enquête probabiliste est la plus vaste du genre au Canada.…”

“…Les filles de toutes orientations sexuelles et les jeunes gais s'engagent dans des échanges sexuels monnayés à des taux beaucoup plus élevés que les autres garçons (Gangamma et autres 2008). Les comportements à risque en matière sexuelle peuvent également être liés à des expériences plus ou moins récentes de victimisation, en particulier sexuelle (Saewyc et autres 2006). Certains des facteurs de risque les plus importants par rapport à la grossesse adolescente, soit les agressions sexuelles subies dans l'enfance et l'entrée précoce dans la sexualité, sont en augmentation pour les adolescentes lesbiennes et bisexuelles depuis le début des années 2000 4 (Saewyc et autres 2008a).…”
