Illicit drug use and associated health risk behaviors among sexual minority youth
Objective
This study examined the links between lifetime illicit drug use (e.g., cocaine, hallucinogens, ecstasy, heroin) and proximal health risk behaviors among adolescents and investigated sexual identity as a moderator.
Methods
We analyzed data from the Center for Disease Control’s 2021 Youth Risk Behavior Survey (N = 17,232), a biennial, cross-sectional survey of a nationally representative sample of youth enrolled in grades 9 through 12 in the United States. Bivariate tabulations of weighted data were used to estimate the prevalence of health risk behaviors among lifetime illicit drug users and sexual minority youth who identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual, questioning, or another sexual identity (LGBQ+). Structural equation modeling was used to examine their associations. Wald testing was employed to test for effect modification.
Results
Illicit drug use was associated with a broad range of health risk behaviors among adolescents (e.g., cigarette and marijuana use, drinking and driving, use of alcohol and drugs before sex, and having multiple sex partners). There was a significant interaction between lifetime illicit drug use and sexual identity such that LGBQ+ youth who have ever engaged in illicit drug use had the greatest odds of health risk behaviors.
Conclusions
Adolescents with a history of ever using illicit drugs are likely to engage in a wide array of health risk behaviors. Screening and offering counseling on these health risk behaviors may play a crucial role in ensuring that the sequela of drug use among adolescents is minimized, especially for LGBQ+ youth.
期刊介绍:
Addictive Behaviors is an international peer-reviewed journal publishing high quality human research on addictive behaviors and disorders since 1975. The journal accepts submissions of full-length papers and short communications on substance-related addictions such as the abuse of alcohol, drugs and nicotine, and behavioral addictions involving gambling and technology. We primarily publish behavioral and psychosocial research but our articles span the fields of psychology, sociology, psychiatry, epidemiology, social policy, medicine, pharmacology and neuroscience. While theoretical orientations are diverse, the emphasis of the journal is primarily empirical. That is, sound experimental design combined with valid, reliable assessment and evaluation procedures are a requisite for acceptance. However, innovative and empirically oriented case studies that might encourage new lines of inquiry are accepted as well. Studies that clearly contribute to current knowledge of etiology, prevention, social policy or treatment are given priority. Scholarly commentaries on topical issues, systematic reviews, and mini reviews are encouraged. We especially welcome multimedia papers that incorporate video or audio components to better display methodology or findings.
Studies can also be submitted to Addictive Behaviors? companion title, the open access journal Addictive Behaviors Reports, which has a particular interest in ''non-traditional'', innovative and empirically-oriented research such as negative/null data papers, replication studies, case reports on novel treatments, and cross-cultural research.
