RESULTS
Across all mental health measures, GM (gender minority) students had a significantly higher prevalence than cisgender students (Table 2). Compared with 45% of cisgender students, 78% of GM students met the criteria for 1 or more mental health problems. More than half of GM students screened positive for depression (58%) and reported NSSI (53%), whereas 28% of cisgender students screened positive for depression and 20% reported NSSI. More than one third of GM students reported seriously thinking about suicide in the past year relative to 1 in 10 cisgender students. In an unadjusted logistic regression model, GM status was associated with 4.3 -times higher odds of meeting the criteria for 1 or more mental health problems (95% CI=3.61, 5.12). Trans masculine students had 6.1 times higher odds of screening positive for 1 or more mental health problems (95% CI=4.81, 7.63).
