Abstract

Substance use rates are higher among transgender and gender-diverse people than cisgender people. Rates of substance use are also higher among young adults compared with other age groups. However, little research examines substance use among transgender and gender-diverse young adults. This study examines factors associated with binge drinking and cannabis use among transgender and gender-diverse young adults in Michigan. Participants (N = 78; ages 18-25) completed an online survey that included demographics and substance use and related characteristics. Race, stimulant misuse, and sedative misuse were associated with more frequent binge drinking. Older age and past-year pain reliever misuse were associated with less frequent cannabis use. Past-year stimulant use and using cannabis alone were associated with more frequent cannabis use. These findings suggest that additional marginalized identities may increase the risk for maladaptive substance use. Future research should examine substance use behaviors and correlates to inform interventions among this population.

密歇根州跨性别和性别多样化年轻人酗酒和大麻使用情况。

跨性别和性别多样化人群的药物使用率高于顺性别人群。与其他年龄组相比，年轻人的药物使用率也更高。然而，很少有研究调查跨性别和性别多样化的年轻人的药物使用情况。这项研究调查了密歇根州跨性别和性别多样化的年轻人中与酗酒和吸食大麻有关的因素。参与者（N=78；18-25岁）完成了一项在线调查，其中包括人口统计、药物使用和相关特征。种族、兴奋剂滥用和镇静剂滥用与更频繁的酗酒有关。年龄较大和过去一年滥用止痛药与大麻使用频率较低有关。去年使用兴奋剂和单独使用大麻与更频繁地使用大麻有关。这些发现表明，额外的边缘化身份可能会增加不适应物质使用的风险。未来的研究应该检查药物使用行为和相关性，为这一人群的干预措施提供信息。
