NEW RESEARCH


** Gender nonconforming sexual minorities at heightened risk for lower socioeconomic status
------------------------------------------------------------
New research from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health finds that gender-nonconforming sexual minorities have a greater risk of experiencing poorer economic status compared to gender-conforming heterosexuals, including living in poverty, carrying household debt, falling behind on bills, and experiencing foreclosure or eviction. Educational attainment was associated with a slight reduction in the risk of poverty.
