摘要
亚裔性少数群体(SMs)是一个研究不足的群体。与异性恋者相比,亚裔性少数群体出现药物使用问题的风险更高,但专门针对亚裔性少数群体的研究却很少。本研究比较了美国亚裔 SM 和成年人中按种族/族裔和性身份划分的药物使用流行率。研究分析了 2015-2020 年全国药物使用与健康调查的参与者数据,该调查是一项针对非住院成年人的全国代表性横断面调查。在控制人口统计学特征的前提下,我们使用逻辑回归模型估算了以下人群使用药物的几率:1)按性身份划分的亚裔成年人(人数=11,079);2)按种族/族裔和性少数群体身份划分的所有成年人(人数=223,971)。在亚裔中,与异性恋者相比,同性恋者在上个月使用大麻的几率更高。双性恋亚裔过去一年滥用处方阿片类药物和过去一年酗酒(AUD)的几率更高。与白人异性恋者相比,亚裔双性恋者上月酗酒和使用可卡因的几率较低,但上月使用大麻、上年滥用阿片类药物、大麻使用障碍和处方阿片类药物滥用的几率较低。需要进行更多的研究来了解这些差异,并解决性别认同在亚洲人药物使用中的作用问题。
Prevalence of Substance Use Among Asian Sexual Minority Individuals in the United States, 2015-2020.
Asian sexual minorities (SMs) are an under-researched population. SMs are at higher risk for substance use problems than heterosexuals, but little research exists specifically on Asians who are SM. This study compared the prevalence of substance use among Asian SMs and among adults by race/ethnicity and sexual identity in the US. Data were analyzed from participants in the 2015-2020 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, a nationally representative cross-sectional survey of non-institutionalized adults. Controlling for demographic characteristics, logistic regression models were used to estimate odds of substance use 1) among Asian adults by sexual identity (N = 11,079) and 2) all adults by race/ethnicity and sexual minority status (N = 223,971). Among Asians, compared to heterosexuals, identifying as gay/lesbian was associated with higher odds of past-month use of marijuana. Bisexual Asians were at higher odds of engaging in past-year prescription opioid misuse and having past-year alcohol use disorder (AUD). Compared to White heterosexuals, Asian SMs were at lower odds for past-month binge drinking and cocaine use, but not for past-month marijuana use and past-year AUD, marijuana use disorder, and prescription opioid misuse. More research is needed to understand these disparities and address sexual identity's role in substance use among Asians.
