Young people's perceptions of substance use norms and attitudes in the LGBT community.

CONCLUSION: Young people's perceptions of substance use within the LGBT community are not associated with community participation/connectedness or personal substance use. Implications for public health: Further research is needed to better understand what factors lead to elevated levels of substance use in SMYP. This may assist in the development of adequate public health responses. Targeting problematic beliefs may have little impact on substance use in SMYP.
