Key-findings summary of descriptive CHKS tabulations; the report treats 'not sure' respondents as a distinct category rather than aggregating them into a single LGBTQ sample.
"Students who indicated being “not sure” if they were transgender or “not sure yet” about their sexual orientation were more likely to report lower levels of supports and well -being on all outcomes, compared to their straight and non- transgender peers, but reported higher supports and well -being than their transgender, gay/lesbian, and bisexual peers"
