Analysis of data collected from 1725 9th graders from 25 rural high schools revealed that students reporting same-sex attraction or uncertainty about their attraction status also reported significantly lower GPAs, lower school belonging, and higher marijuana and alcohol use. Regression analyses confirmed that beyond the effects of GPA and biological sex, sexual minority attraction status was negatively associated with school belonging. Further, while higher school belonging significantly decreased the odds of alcohol and marijuana use, sexual attraction status did not significantly contribute to the model. Post-hoc analyses indicated that sexual minority students systematically reported that they perceived less privacy in completing the survey, lending support to the notion that these adolescents may feel less trusting of their school environments. These findings are discussed in light of the need for interventions to address the developmental challenges of sexual minority students.
对来自25所农村高中的1725名九年级学生收集的数据进行分析后发现，报告有同性吸引或对自身吸引状态不确定的学生，其平均绩点也显著较低，对学校的归属感较低，且大麻和酒精的使用频率较高。回归分析证实，除了平均绩点和生理性别因素的影响外，性少数群体的吸引状态与学校归属感呈负相关。此外，虽然较高的学校归属感显著降低了使用酒精和大麻的几率，但性吸引状态对该模型没有显著贡献。事后分析表明，性少数群体学生系统性地报告称，他们在完成调查时感觉隐私较少，这支持了这些青少年可能对学校环境缺乏信任的观点。鉴于需要采取干预措施来应对性少数群体学生的发展挑战，对这些发现进行了讨论。
