“…they found that gay men should be a priority target population for alcohol-related prevention programs, especially among lower age groups. Petersson et al 67 explored the use of "club drugs" (i.e., MDMa, cocaine, ketamine, "crystal meth") among a sample of swedish gay men. Use of these substances was particularly prevalent among younger subjects from metropolitan areas, and among men diagnosed with hiV or other sexually-transmitted infections.…”

INTRODUCTION: In the past five years, researchers have increasingly turned to the study of mental health outcomes in LGBt populations. the present paper summarizes recent literature on the relationship between minority stress experienced by sexual minorities and mental health. eViDeNce acQUisitiON: PsyciNFO, PubMed, and the eBscO Psychology and Behavioral science collection were searched for papers concerning minority stress and mental health disparities in LGBt populations, published between 1 January 2014 and 30 June 2018. all collected papers were screened using the following criteria: study involving >50 individuals; written in english; focusing on clinical outcomes of depression, suicidality, and substance use in relation to experienced minority stress. eViDeNce sYNthesis: sixty-two papers were included in this review. Findings are reported under three main headings: studies primarily focused on depression, studies concerning suicidality and suicide attempts, and papers analyzing the correlation between substance use and minority stress in LGBt populations. the included studies supported the minority stress model as a framework to better explain disparities in mental health outcomes in sexual minority populations. higher rates of depression, suicidality, and substance use are reported in LGBt populations, as are the related minority stressors analyzed. cONcLUsiONs: sexual minorities still face numerous mental health disparities. research indicates that the levels of minority stressors positively predict mental health outcomes. Specific policies designed to support the civil rights of sexual minorities may help to overcome such inequalities.

“…Per dags dato kan pasienter i Norge henvises til terapeuter innen psykiatri og rus eller informeres om tilbud hos organisasjoner som for eksempel Helseutvalget eller HivNorge. Helsemyndighetene bør utarbeide retningslinjer for hvordan man best kan hjelpe pasienter som opplever bruk av chemsex som et problem, spesielt med tanke på skadereduksjon (20). Rusmiddelbruk er stigmatisert, og rusmidlene som inngikk i vår definisjon av chemsex, er ulovlige.…”

“…Exacerbating their HIV risk, sexual minority men use substances—including marijuana and other illegal drugs—at higher rates than heterosexual men ( Medley et al, 2016 ; Schuler et al, 2019 ). A substantial body of literature illustrates a consistent link between the use of illegal drugs (e.g., cocaine, methamphetamine, ketamine, gamma hydroxybutyrate – GHB, mephedrone, or Methylenedioxymethamphetamine – MDMA/ecstasy) and an increased risk of engaging in sexual HIV transmission risk ( Kurka et al, 2015 ; Petersson et al, 2016 ). Studies utilizing both aggregate and event-level data indicate that sexual minority men who use illegal drugs (excluding marijuana in most studies) are more likely to engage in CAS with casual partners ( Card et al, 2017 ; Daskalopoulou et al, 2014 ; Rendina et al, 2015 ).…”
