This is a PDF file of an article that has undergone enhancements after acceptance, such as the addition of a cover page and metadata, and formatting for readability, but it is not yet the definitive version of record. This version will undergo additional copyediting, typesetting and review before it is published in its final form, but we are providing this version to give early visibility of the article.

Pathways from early childhood maltreatment to adolescent dating violence: The role of traumatic stress and substance use among juvenile justice-involved youth.

“…This is similar to the pathway related to maltreatment, traumatic stress (i.e., T2 and T3), and recent alcohol use. Lastly, systematic identification of gender minority youth is warranted given their overrepresentation in the juvenile legal system (Irvine & Canfield, 2018) and providing treatment that is responsive to their needs (gender-affirming care), a truly structural intersectionality approach (Kidd et al, 2022).…”

A Gamified Personalized Normative Feedback App to Reduce Drinking Among Sexual Minority Women: Randomized Controlled Trial and Feasibility Study

“…To date, alcohol interventions developed for sexual minorities have tended to be clinical, intensive, and focused on affirming sexual identities, aiding individuals in understanding sexual minority stress processes, and providing resources to help individuals cope with stigma more adaptively [ 52 , 58 , 59 ]. Although these approaches hold much promise for individuals seeking treatment, other findings suggest that the central and highly visible positions that bars and nightclubs occupy in sexual minority communities may diminish community members’ recognition of their heavy drinking as problematic and motivation to change, thereby deterring or delaying treatment seeking [ 60 - 62 ].…”

Comparing substance use outcomes by sexual identity among women: Differences using propensity score methods

“…Disparities in heavy alcohol use, tobacco use, and other drug use are particularly pronounced among SMW ( Blosnich et al, 2013 ; Hughes et al, 2020 ; Johnson et al, 2016 ; Lee et al, 2009 ; Wheldon et al, 2018 ), and research suggests that these disparities have persisted over time despite social and policy changes supportive of SGM populations ( Drabble et al, 2020 ; McCabe et al, 2021 ). Research on factors that may drive health disparities is important for informing the development of interventions to reduce those disparities ( Blosnich et al, 2013 ; Hughes et al, 2020 ; Kidd et al, 2022 ). However, methodological challenges, particularly in sampling, have impeded progress in research on sexual orientation-related health disparities, including disparities in alcohol, tobacco, and other drug (ATOD) use.…”
