All models were adjusted for sexual identity, race/ethnicity, parental education, age, and region. Missing data on covariates were handled using multiple imputation with 50 imputations. Bold coefficients indicate statistical significance at p < 0.05. Referent group for “Sex assigned at birth × Gender identity” interactions is cisgender AMAB adolescents.
