Predicted values adjusted for age, type of school and location
**aRR = adjusted risk ratio
#Respondents who reported identifying as non-binary or two-spirited, described their gender differently, or preferred not to answer
** The predicted proportions and aRR are based on ordered logistic regressions. To facilitate interpretation, the table only presents the proportions and aRR for the first outcome (e.g., never) and last outcome (e.g., often or almost always). The patterns for the other values were consistent with this interpretation
