Socioeconomic characteristics, health and wellbeing of nonbinary adolescents in a Southern European City
Cisgender girls and, especially, nonbinary adolescents report lower well-being compared to cisgender boys across a range of well-being domains. These findings highlight the importance of expanding research on nonbinary adolescents and incorporating questions about gender identity in health surveys, while also distinguishing between cisgender boys and girls. Additionally, targeted interventions are essential to support young people in expressing and living authentically in alignment with their gender identity.
