Ensuring a safe and healthy environment for youth is critical for them to thrive, both academically and physically. However, a safe and healthy environment is not always available to many lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) students. In order to better understand and address the health inequities that LGBTQ students face, this report describes health status data from the New Mexico Youth Risk and Resiliency Survey (NM-YRRS) by sexual orientation.

The New Mexico Youth Risk & Resiliency Survey includes questions about tobacco use and other risk behaviors as well as protective (resiliency) factors that can help reduce these risk behaviors.

New Mexico Youth Risk And Resiliency 2015 Survey Results Report: Students With Physical Disabilities, C Fitzgerald, D Green, T Bannerman, L Penaloza

Students with disabilities experience numerous challenges and risks, including from bullying and other forms of violence, lower overall physical activity and difficulties stemming from accessibility issues. They are also more prone to a sedentary lifestyle, which can lead to chronic health issues. Students with physical disabilities are more likely to engage in risky behaviors than students without disabilities, and also demonstrate decreased protective factors. In 2015, 11.3% of New Mexico high school students had a physical disability or long-term illness.

In 2015, for the first time, the NM-YRRS questionnaire included a question on homelessness, or housing status. The question mirrored the homelessness definition of the McKinney-Vento Act, which is used by the New Mexico Public Education Department to identify homeless students. For the purposes of this report, students identified as homeless will be referred to as students in unstable housing. Students living in unstable housing were at significantly increased risk for facing violence, using alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs, suicidal behaviors and other mental health issues and other serious challenges.
