Introduction

Gambling is a recognised public health problem, and population-level advertising restrictions may be an effective way to reduce gambling-related harm. This study fills an important evidence gap by employing a quasi-experiment to estimate the impact of television gambling advertising on gambling behaviour during the 2022 Qatar World Cup. It exploits the variation in gambling advertising between two broadcasters to evaluate its impact on gambling behaviour in a real-world setting.

Methods

Poisson and Logistic panel data regression models using the broadcaster in place of gambling advertising are employed with individual fixed effects and match-level controls. Betting data is from a purposive sample of 365 men aged 18 to 45 who bet on football in England.

Results

Frequency of betting on football was 16 % to 24 % higher during games televised on a channel with gambling advertising compared to one without [IRR: 1.16 – 1.24,p < 0.01]. Furthermore, participants were 22 % to 33 % more likely to place a football bet during games that contained television gambling advertising [OR: 1.22 – 1.33, p < 0.01].

Conclusions

Using a pseudo-randomised quasi-experiment, this study found that television advertising significantly increased both the likelihood and frequency of betting during live football games in the sample studied. This raises concerns about the adequacy of current advertising restrictions in the UK and suggests that a policy which restricts television gambling advertising around live football might be an effective part of a wider public health strategy to tackle gambling-related harms. Future studies should replicate this design, using larger, more representative samples, to inform policy.

赌博是一个公认的公共卫生问题，在人口层面上限制广告可能是减少赌博相关危害的有效方法。本研究通过采用准实验来估计2022年卡塔尔世界杯期间电视赌博广告对赌博行为的影响，填补了一个重要的证据空白。它利用两家广播公司之间的赌博广告差异来评估其对现实世界中赌博行为的影响。方法采用广播公司代替博彩广告的spoisson和Logistic面板数据回归模型，采用单项固定效应和比赛水平控制。博彩数据来自365名年龄在18岁至45岁之间的英国男子，他们在英格兰赌足球。结果在有赌博广告的频道播放比赛时，投注足球的频率比没有广告的频道高16%到24% [IRR: 1.16 - 1.24,p < 0.01]。此外，在包含电视赌博广告的比赛中，参与者下注足球的可能性要高出22%至33% [OR: 1.22 - 1.33, p < 0.01]。通过一项伪随机准实验，本研究发现，在研究的样本中，电视广告显著增加了实况足球比赛期间投注的可能性和频率。这引起了人们对英国当前广告限制是否充分的担忧，并建议限制电视赌博广告围绕直播足球的政策可能是更广泛的公共卫生战略的有效组成部分，以解决与赌博相关的危害。未来的研究应该复制这一设计，使用更大、更有代表性的样本，为政策提供信息。

Introduction

Streaming platforms have changed the way we watch television. Although previous research has established a causal relationship between tobacco exposure on-screen and tobacco use, it’s unclear whether changes in the media environment brought about by streaming have altered this process. We hypothesize that youth and young adult’s intentions to use cigarettes and e-cigarettes in the future will be positively associated with greater exposure to tobacco imagery in streaming television.

Methods

A content analysis identifying the amount of tobacco imagery in 60 popular streaming shows with a new season airing between 2019–2022 and an online survey of 1032 15–24-year-olds were conducted to examine the relationship between exposure to tobacco imagery in streaming television and intentions to use.

Results

Compared to those with low exposure to tobacco imagery, moderate and high exposure was associated with 61% and 176% respectively higher odds of increased intentions to use e-cigarettes, and 104% and 168% respectively higher odds of increased intentions to smoke cigarettes. Significant interactions indicate that the relationship between high exposure and intentions to use e-cigarettes and cigarettes was weaker among those who had used a tobacco or nicotine product in the past 30 days.

Conclusion

The relationship between exposure to tobacco imagery and intentions to use tobacco or nicotine products in the future endures on streaming media. Future research is needed to parse differential influences on initiation versus cessation and better understand what kinds of depictions drive these relationships.

流媒体平台已经改变了我们看电视的方式。虽然之前的研究已经建立了在屏幕上接触烟草和吸烟之间的因果关系，但尚不清楚流媒体带来的媒体环境的变化是否改变了这一过程。我们假设，青少年和年轻人未来使用香烟和电子烟的意图将与更多地接触流媒体电视中的烟草图像呈正相关。方法进行内容分析，确定2019-2022年新一季播出的60个热门流媒体节目中的烟草图像数量，并对1032名15 - 24岁的年轻人进行在线调查，以研究流媒体电视中烟草图像的暴露与使用意图之间的关系。结果与烟草图像接触较少的人相比，中度和高度接触的人使用电子烟的意愿增加的几率分别高出61%和176%，吸烟意愿增加的几率分别高出104%和168%。重要的相互作用表明，在过去30天内使用过烟草或尼古丁产品的人群中，高暴露率与使用电子烟和香烟的意图之间的关系较弱。结论在流媒体上，接触烟草图像与未来使用烟草或尼古丁制品的意向之间存在相关性。未来的研究需要分析对开始和停止的不同影响，并更好地理解哪种描述驱动了这些关系。

Background

Persons harmed by problem gambling have an increased risk of suicide and suicidal thoughts. Social and health care services have an important role in recognising and supporting persons harmed by gambling problems and suicidal thoughts.

Methods

We analyse population-based survey data from the Healthy Finland survey of permanent Finnish residents aged 20 years or older (n = 28,154). We study associations between gambling and suicidal thoughts, and use of health care and social services among individuals engaged in gambling and experienced suicidal thoughts in the past year. The analysis uses χ² tests and logistic regression models.

Results

Of persons harmed by problem gambling (PGSI score ≥ 8) 31 % had suicidal thoughts. Among persons harmed by problem gambling and having suicidal thoughts, utilization of health care and social services was more common compared to non-gamblers with suicidal thoughts. Individuals who engaged in gambling and experienced suicidal thoughts in the past year but had not utilized health care services were more often young, male, and excessive alcohol users. On the contrary, those who had used social services, engaged in gambling and had suicidal thoughts were experiencing more often long-term illnesses and severe psychological distress.

Conclusions

Suicidal thoughts are prevalent among persons harmed by problem gambling. Social and health service systems need to better recognise the association between gambling and co-occurrent suicidal thoughts. In addition, services need to be developed to offer effective treatment and support with high levels of integration.

受问题赌博伤害的人有更高的自杀和自杀念头的风险。社会和保健服务在确认和支持受赌博问题和自杀念头伤害的人方面发挥着重要作用。方法：我们分析来自健康芬兰调查的人口调查数据，调查对象为年龄在20岁及以上的芬兰永久居民（n = 28,154）。我们研究赌博与自杀念头之间的联系，以及在过去一年中参与赌博并有过自杀念头的个人使用医疗保健和社会服务的情况。分析采用χ2检验和逻辑回归模型。结果受问题赌博伤害者（PGSI评分≥8）中有自杀念头的占31%。在受到问题赌博伤害并有自杀念头的人中，与有自杀念头的非赌徒相比，利用医疗保健和社会服务更为普遍。在过去一年中从事赌博和有自杀念头但没有利用保健服务的个人往往是年轻人、男性和酗酒者。相反，那些使用过社会服务、从事赌博和有自杀念头的人往往患有长期疾病和严重的心理困扰。结论受问题赌博伤害的人群普遍存在自杀念头。社会和卫生服务系统需要更好地认识到赌博与同时发生的自杀念头之间的联系。此外，需要开发服务，以提供有效的治疗和支持，并实现高水平的整合。

Introduction

This study investigates trends in substance use treatment admissions and overdose patterns across New Jersey counties from 2014 to 2022. Using the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI), we examined how county-level vulnerability differentiates treatment utilization and overdose outcomes.

Materials and Methods

We created a novel, longitudinal data set using data from multiple public sources. Data were obtained and analyzed for all 21 New Jersey counties. Outcome measures included substance use treatment admissions, opioid-specific treatment admissions, overdose deaths, and naloxone administration. Using the SVI, counties were categorized as either high (n = 10) or low (n = 11) social vulnerability. Data analyses were conducted using joinpoint analysis to identify trends over time and variation by social vulnerability status.

Results

Significant trends were identified regardless of social vulnerability status for all outcome measures, appearing as upward trends in initial segments and flat or declining trends in latter segments. High vulnerability (compared to low vulnerability) counties demonstrated greater Annual Percentage Change (APC) magnitudes for all outcome measures in the initial segment, similar APCs in the latter segment, and had higher baseline rates and peak rates.

Conclusions

Findings demonstrate that county-level social vulnerability status is associated with substance use treatment admissions and overdose patterns. Specifically, high vulnerability counties exhibit consistently higher rates of substance use treatment admissions, naloxone administrations, and overdose deaths. This pattern highlights a need for expanded substance use services along the continuum of care for vulnerable areas and the viability of SVI status as a useful and simple tool for targeting service expansion efforts.

本研究调查了2014年至2022年新泽西州各县药物使用治疗入院和过量模式的趋势。使用社会脆弱性指数（SVI），我们研究了县级脆弱性如何区分治疗利用和过量结果。材料和方法我们使用来自多个公共来源的数据创建了一个新颖的纵向数据集。获得并分析了新泽西州所有21个县的数据。结果测量包括药物使用治疗入院、阿片类药物特异性治疗入院、过量死亡和纳洛酮给药。使用SVI，县被划分为高（n = 10）或低（n = 11）社会脆弱性。数据分析采用连接点分析，以确定随时间变化的趋势和社会脆弱性状况的变化。结果无论社会脆弱性状况如何，在所有结果测量中都发现了显著的趋势，在初始阶段呈上升趋势，在后期阶段呈持平或下降趋势。高脆弱性县（与低脆弱性县相比）在初始阶段的所有结果测量中显示出更大的年百分比变化（APC）幅度，在后一阶段的APC相似，并且具有更高的基线率和峰值率。结论县级社会脆弱性状况与药物使用治疗入院和过量用药模式相关。具体来说，高脆弱性县一贯表现出较高的药物使用治疗入院率、纳洛酮用药率和过量死亡率。这一模式突出表明，需要在对脆弱地区的连续护理过程中扩大药物使用服务，并突出表明，将特殊受害人地位作为针对扩大服务努力的有用和简单的工具是可行的。

Introduction

Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) are most often used with e-liquids having fruit, and menthol or mint flavor, with tobacco flavor being least prevalent. This study evaluated the effect of a tobacco, fruit, and menthol e-liquid flavor on ENDS abuse liability.

Methods

Fifty-two regular ENDS users participated in a double-blinded, randomized, crossover-design study. Study conditions were ENDS (KangerTech CUPTI) with tobacco, menthol, or fruit flavor e-liquids with 1.2 % (all flavors) or 0 % (fruit only) freebase nicotine concentration. On separate days participants used the study products for 10 prescribed puffs and 1 h of ad libitum use. Plasma nicotine concentration, puff topography, and subjective effects were measured.

Results

Following ad libitum use, tobacco flavor ENDS were associated with significantly lower plasma nicotine levels than other nicotine-containing ENDS. Significantly fewer puffs were taken from the tobacco flavor ENDS than other products, and the 0% nicotine fruit flavor ENDS was associated with greater puff duration and puff volumes than other products. Tobacco flavor was rated significantly lower than other flavors on product liking (e.g., “tastes good” or “pleasant”), while only the 0% nicotine fruit flavor ENDS was associated with significantly greater withdrawal symptoms (e.g., ENDS craving, or urge to use an ENDS) compared to the other flavors.

Conclusions

Tobacco flavor ENDS were rated lower on liking, and associated with less nicotine exposure and fewer puffs taken, but comparably attenuated withdrawal symptoms to other flavor ENDS, while the non-nicotine fruit flavor did not affect withdrawal symptoms.

电子尼古丁输送系统（ENDS）最常用于含有水果、薄荷或薄荷味的电子液体，烟草味最不普遍。本研究评估了烟草、水果和薄荷醇电子液体香料对ENDS滥用的影响。方法采用双盲、随机、交叉设计的方法，对52名经常使用ENDS的患者进行研究。研究条件是ENDS (KangerTech CUPTI)，含有烟草、薄荷醇或水果味电子液体，尼古丁浓度为1.2%（所有口味）或0%（仅水果）。在不同的日子里，参与者使用研究产品进行10次规定的抽吸和1小时的自由使用。测量血浆尼古丁浓度、雾化地形和主观效应。结果随意使用后，烟草香精ENDS与其他含尼古丁ENDS相比，血浆尼古丁水平显著降低。与其他产品相比，烟草味ENDS的吞吐量明显减少，0%尼古丁水果味ENDS的吞吐时间和吞吐量都比其他产品长。与其他口味相比，烟草口味在产品喜好上的评分明显低于其他口味（例如，“味道好”或“令人愉快”），而与其他口味相比，只有0%尼古丁的水果味ENDS与更大的戒断症状（例如，对ENDS的渴望或使用ENDS的冲动）相关。结论烟草香精对尼古丁的喜爱程度较低，尼古丁暴露较少，吸烟量较少，但与其他香精相比，其对戒断症状的影响较小，而不含尼古丁的水果香精对戒断症状没有影响。

Background

Over the past decade, Canada has legalized recreational cannabis, and the rising popularity of social media has coincided with the emergence of problematic social media use (PSMU) as a potential behavioural addiction. This study aims to describe social media use and identify factors associated with PSMU among adult recreational cannabis users in Québec, Canada.

Methods

This cross-sectional study includes 1406 participants who used both social media and cannabis. Data was collected using validated instruments measuring PSMU (BSMAS), online fear of missing out (On-FoMO), risk for problematic cannabis use (CAST), mental health variables (GAD-7, PHQ-8), and sociodemographic characteristics. A regression model was used to identify factors associated with PSMU.

Results

Approximately 27.9 % of participants exhibited PSMU. Increased odds of PSMU were associated with a younger age (18–20 years), male sex at birth, and higher CAST, PHQ-8, and On-FoMO scores. Use of Telegram, TikTok, Twitter (X) and Facebook Dating was associated with increased odds of PSMU, whereas use of Snapchat and Threads was associated with reduced odds.

Conclusions

在过去的十年里，加拿大已经将娱乐性大麻合法化，社交媒体的日益普及恰逢社交媒体使用问题（PSMU）作为潜在行为成瘾的出现。本研究旨在描述社交媒体的使用情况，并确定与加拿大quacimbec成年休闲大麻使用者中PSMU相关的因素。方法这项横断面研究包括1406名既使用社交媒体又使用大麻的参与者。使用经过验证的仪器收集数据，测量PSMU （BSMAS）、在线错失恐惧（On-FoMO）、问题大麻使用风险（CAST）、心理健康变量（GAD-7、PHQ-8）和社会人口特征。采用回归模型确定与PSMU相关的因素。结果约27.9%的参与者表现为PSMU。PSMU的几率增加与年龄较小（18-20岁）、出生性别为男性、CAST、PHQ-8和On-FoMO得分较高有关。使用Telegram、TikTok、Twitter (X)和Facebook Dating会增加患PSMU的几率，而使用Snapchat和Threads则会降低患PSMU的几率。这项研究是首次对成年大麻使用者的PSMU进行研究。其中，PSMU的患病率高于一般人群的估计。PSMU的几率因社交媒体平台而异。这些发现表明，有必要制定有针对性的公共卫生战略，解决社交媒体和大麻使用问题。

A common feature of contemporary sports-betting apps is ‘instant cash-out’, which allows users to settle a bet early in exchange for a discounted immediate payout. Despite high prevalence and links with gambling-related harm, relatively little is known about how personality traits associated with gambling, such as impulsivity, predict instant cash-out usage. To address this question, we recruited 145 general-population adult participants (69 men, 66 women, 10 non-binary or undisclosed; M_age = 36.3, SD = 10.7; participants resided in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, the UK, or the USA) to complete five self-report questionnaires related to impulsivity, as well as the Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI), and a validated cognitive task measuring individual differences in cash-out frequency. We then assessed how cash-out frequency in the behavioral task was associated with both self-reported impulsivity and PGSI. We found that cash-out frequency was negatively correlated both with PGSI scores and with a number of impulsivity-related traits including Dysfunctional Impulsivity, Lack of Premeditation, Positive Urgency, Sensation Seeking, and Fun Seeking. An exploratory factor analysis revealed that higher scores on a latent ‘Dysfunctional Impulsivity’ factor were negatively associated with cash-out frequency overall, whereas higher scores on an ‘Inhibition and Inflexibility’ factor predicted higher cash-out frequency specifically for bets with a low win probability. Taken together, results suggest that instant cash-out may primarily appeal to less impulsive people and those with lower PGSI scores. This raises the possibility that instant cash-out may specifically facilitate increased gambling behaviors among people with less prior experience of gambling.

当代体育博彩应用程序的一个共同特点是“即时兑现”，允许用户提前结算赌注，以换取折扣的即时支付。尽管赌博非常普遍，而且与赌博相关的危害也有联系，但人们对与赌博相关的性格特征（如冲动性）如何预测即时取款行为的了解相对较少。为了解决这个问题，我们招募了145名普通成人参与者（69名男性，66名女性，10名非二元或未公开；Mage = 36.3, SD = 10.7；参与者居住在澳大利亚，加拿大，爱尔兰，新西兰，英国或美国）完成五份与冲动性相关的自我报告问卷，以及问题赌博严重程度指数（PGSI），以及一项有效的认知任务，测量兑现频率的个体差异。然后，我们评估了行为任务中的兑现频率与自我报告的冲动性和PGSI之间的关系。我们发现，套现频率与PGSI分数以及与冲动性相关的一些特征呈负相关，包括功能失调冲动性、缺乏预先考虑、积极的紧迫性、寻求感觉和寻求乐趣。一项探索性因素分析显示，总体而言，潜在的“功能失调冲动性”因素得分越高，套现频率就越高，而“抑制和不灵活性”因素得分越高，特别是对于低赢概率的投注，套现频率就越高。综上所述，研究结果表明，即时套现可能主要吸引那些不那么冲动的人和那些PGSI得分较低的人。这增加了一种可能性，即即时提现可能会特别促进赌博经验较少的人增加赌博行为。

Orienting bias towards electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) cues 取向偏向电子尼古丁传递系统（ENDS）线索

IF 2.8 Q1 Psychology

Addictive Behaviors Reports

Pub Date : 2026-06-01 Epub Date: 2025-12-10 DOI: 10.1016/j.abrep.2025.100649

Sojung Youn, Brian A. Anderson

Background

Abnormal attentional biases for tobacco cues have been observed in the dot-probe task. With a recent increase in electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) use, researchers have investigated the effect of ENDS use on early and later stages of attentional bias. Studies have provided support for later-stage attentional biases among ENDS users but not an orienting bias, which may be difficult to detect with smaller sample sizes, and due to low reliability. The present study tested orienting bias among young adult ENDS users and nonusers to ENDS-related images using a modified dot-probe task.

Method

A total of 224 participants were assigned to an ENDS user group (n = 110) or a control group (n = 114) following their history of ENDS use. A modified version of the dot-probe task was used where a rotated target letter (“T”) appeared shortly after image (ENDS-related and neutral) offset, requiring a directional response.

Results

The ENDS group exhibited a significantly larger ENDS-related orienting bias compared to the control group in response time and accuracy. A habituation effect was also observed, with the ENDS-related attentional bias being restricted for the first epoch of trials. Consistent with previous studies, the ENDS-related attentional bias exhibited low internal reliability.

Conclusions

A significant but short-lived orienting bias towards ENDS-related cues in ENDS users was observed. Similar to other substances of abuse, ENDS use affects early-stage attentional processes. Our findings also suggest ways to more robustly measure such early-stage attentional biases in ENDS users.

背景在点探测任务中观察到烟草线索的异常注意偏倚。随着电子尼古丁传递系统（ENDS）使用的增加，研究人员调查了电子尼古丁传递系统使用对早期和后期注意偏差的影响。研究已经为终端用户的后期注意偏差提供了支持，但没有为定向偏差提供支持，定向偏差在样本量较小且可靠性较低的情况下可能难以检测。本研究使用改进的点探测任务测试了年轻成年终端用户和非终端用户对终端相关图像的定向偏差。方法根据受试者使用ENDS的历史，将224名受试者分为ENDS用户组（n = 110）和对照组（n = 114）。使用了一个改进版本的点探测任务，其中旋转的目标字母（“T”）在图像（与ends相关的和中性的）偏移后不久出现，需要定向响应。结果与对照组相比，ENDS组在反应时间和准确性方面表现出更大的与ENDS相关的定向偏倚。习惯效应也被观察到，在试验的第一个阶段，与end相关的注意偏倚受到限制。与以往的研究一致，与end相关的注意偏倚表现出较低的内部信度。结论：在终端使用者中观察到对终端相关线索的显著但短暂的定向偏倚。与其他滥用物质类似，使用ENDS会影响早期的注意力过程。我们的研究结果还提出了更有效地测量终端用户早期注意偏差的方法。

Introduction

Tobacco and alcohol use are linked to health disparities. In recent years, food insecurity, an indicator of disparities, has increased in Great Britain. This study examined the associations between food insecurity and tobacco or alcohol use.

Methods

Data were drawn from a representative cross-sectional study of people aged ≥16 years in Great Britain (N = 4,056), conducted in January‒February 2025. Food insecurity was measured with the 6-item Household Food Security Scale, divided into high/marginal, low, or very low food security. Logistic regression models with food insecurity (combining low and very low food insecurity) as the outcome and adjusted for age, gender, nation of residence, socioeconomic position, financial hardship and smoking or alcohol consumption (measured using AUDIT-C score), were used to derive odds ratios (OR_adj).

Results

Overall, 7.9 % (95 % CI: 6.9, 8.9) reported low and 9.6 % (8.6, 10.7) very low food security. Smoking was associated with food insecurity (OR_adj = 1.75; 95 % CI: 1.32, 2.31). People who abstained from alcohol were more likely to be food insecure compared with those who drank at increasing (AUDIT-C 5: OR_adj = 0.62; 0.41, 0.93) or higher risks of harm (AUDIT-C 8: OR_adj = 0.63; 0.40, 0.97); however, this relationship was moderated by psychological distress.

Conclusion

Food insecurity was associated with higher smoking prevalence. Among people experiencing distress, those abstaining from alcohol and at risk of dependence appeared more likely to experience food insecurity than those drinking at other levels. These findings suggest the need for interventions that offer support for smoking, alcohol and which address underlying stressors of food insecurity.

烟草和酒精的使用与健康差距有关。近年来，作为不平等指标的食品不安全状况在英国有所加剧。这项研究调查了食品不安全与吸烟或饮酒之间的关系。方法数据来自于2025年1 - 2月在英国进行的一项具有代表性的横断面研究，研究对象为年龄≥16岁的人群（N = 4056）。粮食不安全是用6项家庭粮食安全量表来衡量的，分为高/边际、低或极低粮食安全。以粮食不安全（结合低粮食不安全和极低粮食不安全）为结果，并根据年龄、性别、居住国、社会经济地位、经济困难和吸烟或饮酒（使用AUDIT-C评分测量）进行调整的Logistic回归模型用于得出优势比（ORadj）。结果总体而言，7.9% （95% CI: 6.9, 8.9）的人报告粮食安全水平较低，9.6%（8.6,10.7）的人报告粮食安全水平非常低。吸烟与食品不安全相关（ORadj = 1.75; 95% CI: 1.32, 2.31）。与饮酒的人相比，不饮酒的人更有可能出现粮食不安全（audit - c5: ORadj = 0.62; 0.41, 0.93）或更高的危害风险（audit - c8: ORadj = 0.63; 0.40, 0.97）；然而，这种关系被心理困扰所缓和。结论食品不安全与高吸烟率相关。在经历痛苦的人群中，那些戒酒并有依赖风险的人似乎比其他级别饮酒的人更有可能经历粮食不安全。这些发现表明，需要采取干预措施，为吸烟和酗酒提供支持，并解决粮食不安全的潜在压力因素。

Purpose

Bisexual people experience bisexual-specific stressors (e.g., anti-bisexual discrimination, internalized binegativity) that impact health outcomes. Still, little research has explored relationships between bisexual-specific stressors and substance use. Additionally, distress tolerance is negatively associated with substance use in non-sexual-minority samples, but only one study has examined distress tolerance in sexual minorities, and none have examined its relations to substance use in bisexual samples. This study examined the indirect relationship between anti-bisexual discrimination and substance use through internalized binegativity, sexual orientation concealment, and distress tolerance.

Methods

Bisexual adults aged 18–70 (M = 35, N = 97) were recruited locally and nationally, and reported experiences of anti-bisexual discrimination, internalized binegativity, sexual orientation concealment, distress tolerance, and substance use (i.e., 90-day marijuana and cocaine use, 30-day number of daily standard drinks, 30-day binge drinking).

Results

Anti-bisexual discrimination was significantly related to cocaine use indirectly through sexual orientation concealment and directly associated with internalized binegativity and sexual orientation concealment. There were also significant indirect effects for the relationship between anti-bisexual discrimination and cocaine use through internalized binegativity and for the relationship between anti-bisexual discrimination and alcohol use through internalized binegativity. Neither anti-bisexual discrimination nor internalized binegativity, sexual orientation concealment, or distress tolerance were significantly, directly associated with alcohol use, binge drinking, or marijuana use.

Conclusion

As the first study to examine the role of distress tolerance in the relationship between bisexual-specific minority stressors and substance use, the findings provide a novel contribution to the exploration of bisexual-specific health disparities and highlight a need for targeted clinical interventions.

目的双性恋者会经历双性恋特有的压力源（例如，对双性恋的歧视、内化的消极情绪），这些压力源会影响健康结果。然而，很少有研究探索双性恋特定压力源与药物使用之间的关系。此外，在非性少数样本中，痛苦耐受性与物质使用呈负相关，但只有一项研究调查了性少数群体的痛苦耐受性，而没有一项研究调查了双性恋样本中痛苦耐受性与物质使用的关系。本研究通过内化负性、性取向隐瞒性和痛苦耐受性来考察反双性恋歧视与物质使用之间的间接关系。方法招募18-70岁的成年双性恋者（M = 35, N = 97），报告其反双性恋歧视、内化双性恋消极、性取向隐藏性、痛苦耐受力和物质使用（即90天大麻和可卡因使用、30天每日标准饮酒量、30天酗酒）经历。结果反双性恋歧视与可卡因使用存在间接性取向隐瞒相关，与内化消极性和性取向隐瞒直接相关。反双性恋歧视与可卡因使用之间的关系通过内化的消极作用，以及反双性恋歧视与酒精使用之间的关系通过内化的消极作用，也存在显著的间接影响。对双性恋的歧视、内化的消极、性取向隐蔽性或痛苦容忍与酒精使用、酗酒或大麻使用都没有显著的直接关系。结论该研究首次探讨了双性恋特定少数群体应激源与物质使用之间的关系，为探索双性恋特定健康差异提供了新的贡献，并强调了有针对性的临床干预的必要性。
