The 2015 and 2017 Youth Risk Behavior Survey data from 75,638 students from the same schools assessed sexual health outcomes (e.g., being currently sexually active). We conducted multilevel cross-sectional logistic regression analyses to examine the associations between school-level LGBTQ-supportive policies and practices with student-level sexual health outcomes, while controlling for sex, grade, race\/ethnicity, and school priority status.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Several LGBTQ-supportive school policies and practices were significantly associated with lower odds of sexual risk behaviors (e.g., having four or more lifetime sexual partners) and ever being tested for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) among both LGB and heterosexual students but not with using a condom during last sexual intercourse among sexually active gay, bisexual, or heterosexual male students. Having a greater number of LGBTQ-supportive school policies and practices was significantly associated with lower odds of ever having sex for LGB students and with sexual risk behaviors and ever being tested for HIV for heterosexual students.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study highlights the relationship between multifaceted LGBTQ-supportive school policies and practices and improving sexual health outcomes among both LGB and heterosexual students.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1089\/lgbt.2021.0132","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,13]],"date-time":"2022-06-13T11:38:09Z","timestamp":1655120289000},"page":"384-392","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["The Association of LGBTQ-Supportive School Health Policies and Practices with Sexual Health Outcomes"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7083-8579","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wojciech","family":"Kaczkowski","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Adolescent and School Health, National Center for HIV\/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, Georgia, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Adina C.","family":"Cooper","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Adolescent and School Health, National Center for HIV\/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, Georgia, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jingjing","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Adolescent and School Health, National Center for HIV\/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, Georgia, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Leah","family":"Robin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Adolescent and School Health, National Center for HIV\/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, Georgia, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_6_2_2","first-page":"1","article-title":"Sexual identity, sex of sexual contacts, and health-related behaviors among students in grades 9\u201312\u2014United States and selected sites, 2015","volume":"65","author":"Kann L","year":"2016","unstructured":"Kann L, , Olsen EOM, , McManus T, et al.: Sexual identity, sex of sexual contacts, and health-related behaviors among students in grades 9\u201312\u2014United States and selected sites, 2015.
