PURPOSE
The attitudes of substance abuse counselors can have significant effects on their client's recovery. This study examined the attitudes and knowledge of substance abuse counselors regarding lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered (LGBT) clients.
METHODS
242 substance abuse counselors in Iowa completed mail-in questionnaires.
RESULTS
The counselors reported very little formal education regarding the needs of these clients, and nearly half had negative or ambivalent attitudes. Respondents had the greatest negativity regarding transgendered clients and reported knowing the least about this group. Counselors frequently lacked knowledge about the legal issues of these clients, the concepts of domestic partnership and internalized homophobia, and family issues.
IMPLICATIONS
Substance abuse counselors require more education about LGBT clients.
目的
药物滥用咨询师的态度会对其客户的康复产生重大影响。本研究调查了药物滥用咨询师对女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋和跨性别（LGBT）客户的态度和知识。
方法
爱荷华州的242名药物滥用咨询师完成了邮寄问卷。
结果
咨询师报告称，针对这些客户的需求接受的正规教育很少，近一半的人持负面或矛盾态度。受访者对跨性别客户的负面看法最多，且表示对该群体了解最少。咨询师经常缺乏关于这些客户的法律问题、家庭伴侣关系概念和内化恐同症以及家庭问题的知识。
启示
药物滥用咨询师需要接受更多关于LGBT客户的教育。
