Abstract

Purpose of review: Sexual and gender minorities (SGM) appear to be at elevated risk for cannabis use (CU) and cannabis use disorder (CUD) compared to cisgender heterosexuals. However, risk factors remain understudied among SGM. This review aims to summarize evidence for disparities in CU and CUD affecting SGM and factors contributing to these disparities.

Recent findings: We found strong evidence that sexual minorities are at elevated risk for CU and CUD is elevated for sexual minority women. Evidence supports a concurrent association between minority stress and CUD symptoms. There is robust support for coping motives as a mechanism linking minority stress to subsequent CU and CUD. Studies also point to CU norms and contexts as potential risk factors.

Summary: SGM are at high risk for CU and CUD, and minority stress, CU norms, and contextual factors are implicated. Additional research is needed on CU among gender minorities, prospective effects of risk factors, and interventions for SGM.

影响性少数群体和性别少数群体的大麻使用差异和大麻使用障碍及其促成因素的证据综述。

综述目的:与异性恋者相比，性少数和性别少数群体(SGM)似乎有更高的大麻使用(CU)和大麻使用障碍(CUD)的风险。然而，SGM的风险因素仍未得到充分研究。本综述旨在总结影响SGM的CU和CUD差异的证据以及导致这些差异的因素。最近的发现:我们发现了强有力的证据表明，性少数群体患CU的风险较高，而性少数群体女性患CUD的风险较高。证据支持少数民族压力和CUD症状之间的同时关联。应对动机是将少数民族压力与随后的CU和CUD联系起来的机制，这一观点得到了强有力的支持。研究还指出，CU规范和环境是潜在的风险因素。总结:SGM是CU和CUD的高危人群，与少数民族压力、CU规范和环境因素有关。需要对性别少数群体中的CU、风险因素的预期影响和SGM的干预措施进行进一步的研究。

Designed for physicians and other mental health professionals who need to keep up-to-date with the latest research, Current Addiction Reports offers expert reviews on the most recent and important research in addiction. We accomplish this by appointing leaders in the field to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas and disciplines, such asAlcoholTobaccoStimulants, cannabis, and club drugsBehavioral addictionsGender disparities in addictionComorbid psychiatric disorders and addictionSubstance abuse disorders and HIVSection Editors, in turn, select the most pressing topics as well as experts to evaluate the latest research, report on any controversial discoveries or hypotheses of interest, and ultimately bring readers up-to-date on the topic. Articles represent interdisciplinary endeavors with research from fields such as psychiatry, psychology, pharmacology, epidemiology, and neuroscience.Additionally, an international Editorial Board—representing a range of disciplines within addiction medicine—ensures that the journal content includes current, emerging research and suggests articles of special interest to their country or region.
