Bisexual women report more alcohol use and sexual risk-taking than lesbian or heterosexual women. Few studies have examined the underlying mechanisms associating stress sources (binegativity, childhood trauma) with drinking and sexual risk-taking behaviors among bisexual women. Impulsivity may be one such mechanism. This study tested if impulsivity served as a mechanism between childhood trauma, binegativity, alcohol use, and sexual risk-taking. Participants (N = 225) were cisgender, heavy drinking, bisexual women ages 18-30 who completed an online survey. Results showed a significant indirect effect of binegativity on sexual risk-taking and alcohol use through impulsivity. This suggests that binegativity is associated with impulsivity, which is then associated with alcohol use and sexual risk-taking. Findings did not support a similar pathway for childhood trauma, suggesting binegativity may be a more salient risk factor. Interventions should focus on healthy coping, trauma-informed therapy, executive functioning training, personality-targeted strategies, and structural changes, (e.g. inclusive curricula and anti-discrimination laws).

This brief report aimed to geographically describe binegativity and social distance among Hispanic Puerto Ricans, and to explore social determinants related to binegativity and social distance toward bisexual women and men. The team employed secondary research data based on a quantitative, cross-sectional study. Data from a sociodemographic questionnaire, a binegativity scale, and a social distance scale were extracted. Demographic data of a sample of 177 participants were poststratified and divided into binary categories for analysis. Results showed that half of the sample (54.2%) reported high or very high binegativity. Similarly, half of the sample (50.8%) also reported moderate or high social distance toward bisexual individuals. The study also found that participants under 30 years of age without a religion significantly reported less binegativity. In addition, participants who identify as men, as lesbian/gay, and know a bisexual person significantly reported less social distance. The need for more research is discussed.
