Same, Opposite and Both-Sex Attracted Adolescents’ Mental Health, Safe-Sex Practices and Substance Use
Journal of gay & lesbian mental health(2021)
摘要
This study examined mental health, substance use, and sexual health across sexual attraction groups. 428 adolescents recruited from school-based health centers completed self-report measures. 72% were only opposite-sex attracted, 19% both-sex attracted, 3% same-sex attracted, 4% not sure. Reported partners did not always align with reported attraction. Compared to opposite-sex attracted youth, 1) both-sex attracted youth had significantly higher rates of marijuana use (OR=1.75, p=.04), depressive symptoms (OR=2.62, p=.001) and inconsistent condom use (OR=1.71, p=.05); 2) the "not sure" group had higher anxiety symptoms (OR=4, p=.01). This study highlights the importance of considering sexual attraction in providing quality care to young people.
