“…Despite these caveats, while focusing on substance use, this study found that Momentum Health Study bisexual participants also featured distinctive sexual behavior, psychosocial, and sociodemographic patterns in comparison to their gay counterparts. These results are particularly important in relation to calls for intervention and education patterns specifically tailored for bisexual men ( Friedman & Dodge, 2016 ; Shelton, 2017 ) and illustrate the benefits of separating bisexual from gay men’s data, rather than conflating them under the rubric of “gay and bisexual men” and/or “Men Who Have Sex with Men.”…”

“…Social Support Scale scores remained significant in all multivariate models. This may be particularly important since previous studies noted bisexual men’s feeling of not belonging to either the general population or the gay community ( Dodge et al, 2012 ; Feinstein & Dyar, 2017; Friedman & Dodge, 2016 ). Furthermore, finding higher Anxiety and Depression Sub-Scale scores, coupled with lower Social Support Scale scores, annual incomes, and educational levels, suggests a possible syndemic effect for bisexual men’s health, as suggested by Friedman and Dodge (2016) .…”

“…It is likely that social stigma particular to bisexual identity, bisexual behavior, and their intersection, coupled with few community opportunities for bisexuality-specific social support, 32 creates conditions for violence to occur, for depression to develop, and for substance use to persist as a form of coping. 11…”

“…Although prior research with this population has provided invaluable insights regarding sexual risk and opportunities for intervention, studies have consistently grouped behaviorally bisexual men (i.e., men who have sex with men and women) together with men who have exclusively same-sex partners. This is problematic, given that sexual risks vary between these subpopulations; for example, condomless vaginal intercourse is a concern for the former, but not the latter, and is very rarely incorporated as an outcome in studies of risk behavior among MSM (2).…”
