Alcohol use at the intersection of sexual orientation and gender identity in a representative sample of youth in Colorado

CONCLUSIONS AND SCIENTIFIC SIGNIFICANCE: This is the first study to examine relationships between intersecting identities of sexual orientation and gender identity and alcohol use among youth. Risky alcohol use among transgender youth may be attributed to experiences of depression, dating violence, and sexual violence impacting these populations. Interventions should focus on reducing transgender youth exposure to violence.PMID:34873759 | DOI:10.1111/ajad.13243
