The surveys included questions covering topics such as health, sexual orientation, liking school, life satisfaction, and bullying. Objective(s): The main objective was to examine changes to various health and social indicators over time by sexual orientation. Method: Various health and social indicators from the different surveys were examined such as liking school, life satisfaction, bullying, general health, drug use, and support from family and friends. Results: Changes over time show that the situation for LGB adolescents, as compared with heterosexual adolescents, was generally worse in 2010 than in 2006. However, it has improved from 2010 to 2014 and again from 2014 to 2018. With the 2018 levels generally being much better than in 2006. Conclusions: Life for LGB adolescents in Iceland appears to be improving over time across various health and social indicators.
