Study Methodology
- The 2011 Chicago YRBS was analyzed for several reasons.
- First, it assessed both sexual identity and multiple forms of victimization, including victimization that is specific to sexual orientation/gender identity.
- Chicago is one of the most segregated cities in the U.S.,42 and enrollment in Chicago Public Schools (CPS) reflects this segregation.
- In 2010, CPS enacted an anti-bullying policy and Illinois state had a bullying prevention law that protected both sexual orientation and gender identity/expression.
- The 2011 data are the first Chicago YRBS survey to be completed after these policies were passed.
