Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine differences in mental health outcomes of two groups within youth experiencing homelessness (YEH) and who have a substance use disorder (SUD): sexual minority (SM) and heterosexual females. Methods: This study used baseline data from four randomized clinical trials of substance use interventions for YEH with a SUD to examine differences in depression and suicidality between SM and heterosexual female youth. Participants were between 12 and 24 years of age. Meta-analytic methods were used to aggregate data across studies to estimate differences in mental health. Results: Results indicated that female SM-YEH had higher depression symptoms (Hedge's g [g]=0.20; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.01-0.39), higher risk of a history of suicide behavior (risk ratio = 1.63; 95% CI: 1.17-2.27), and a greater number of suicide behaviors (g = 0.31; 95% CI: 0.09-0.54) compared to their heterosexual peers. These effect sizes were not moderated by age. Conclusion: Female SM-YEH had elevated levels of depression and suicidality compared to their heterosexual peers. The findings of this study align with research on mental health disparities between SM and heterosexual youth generally, which underscores the unique struggles and risks associated with identifying as a female SM-YEH with a SUD.

无家可归的女性少数性倾向者与患有药物使用障碍的异性恋青少年在心理健康方面的差异。
目的:本研究旨在探讨无家可归青年(YEH)中患有药物使用障碍(SUD)的两个群体:性少数群体(SM)和异性恋女性在心理健康结果方面的差异。研究方法本研究使用了四项针对患有药物滥用障碍的无家可归青年的药物滥用干预随机临床试验的基线数据,以研究性少数群体和异性恋女性青年在抑郁和自杀方面的差异。参与者年龄在 12-24 岁之间。研究采用了元分析方法来汇总各项研究的数据,以估计心理健康方面的差异。结果显示结果显示,与异性恋同龄人相比,女性 SM-YEH 有更高的抑郁症状(海杰氏 g [g]=0.20; 95% 置信区间 [CI] 0.01-0.39)、更高的自杀行为史风险(风险比 = 1.63; 95% CI: 1.17-2.27)和更多的自杀行为(g = 0.31; 95% CI: 0.09-0.54)。这些效应大小不受年龄的影响。结论与异性恋同龄人相比,女性 SM-YEH 的抑郁和自杀水平较高。本研究的结果与有关 SM 青少年与异性恋青少年之间心理健康差异的研究结果一致,强调了女性 SM-YEH 在被认定为患有 SUD 后所面临的独特困境和风险。

期刊介绍: LGBT Health is the premier peer-reviewed journal dedicated to promoting optimal healthcare for millions of sexual and gender minority persons worldwide by focusing specifically on health while maintaining sufficient breadth to encompass the full range of relevant biopsychosocial and health policy issues. This Journal aims to promote greater awareness of the health concerns particular to each sexual minority population, and to improve availability and delivery of culturally appropriate healthcare services. LGBT Health also encourages further research and increased funding in this critical but currently underserved domain. The Journal provides a much-needed authoritative source and international forum in all areas pertinent to LGBT health and healthcare services. Contributions from all continents are solicited including Asia and Africa which are currently underrepresented in sex research.
