Limited information exists on heterosexual youth with sexual contact with same-sex partners in the United States (i.e., discordant heterosexual). We compared the prevalence of health risks between discordant heterosexual, heterosexual with only opposite-sex sexual contact, lesbian/gay, and bisexual students using the 2015 national Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS). Nationwide, 3.2% of students were identified as discordant heterosexuals. The prevalence of several risk behaviors was significantly higher among discordant heterosexual students than their heterosexual peers with only opposite-sex sexual contact. Clinicians should consider sexual identity and sex of sexual partners when conducting risk-assessments to ensure they appropriately target populations for intervention
