Substance use among transgender and cisgender high school students
Using data from a regional census survey of high school students, we compared substance use patterns between transgender and cisgender students, and students who did not know if they are transgender (DKT). Data from more than 23,000 youth from 26 high schools were used to compare alcohol-related behaviors, marijuana use, and non-medical use of prescription drugs (NMUPD) between these three groups. We also examined differences in substance use beh…

One of its signature strategies has been to support charter schools. This article presents the findings of a s…
