Although there has been much empirical research documenting current trends in club drug use among gay and bisexual men, little research has addressed the variance among lesbian, bisexual, or heterosexual women. Using data collected through time-space sampling from dance clubs in New York City during 2005 (N=1104), this study explored sexual identity variance among women in the reported use of six club drugs: methamphetamine, cocaine, MDMA, ketamine, GHB, and LSD. Significant differences were found in that younger women were more likely to be active club drug users. Lesbian and bisexual women reported significantly higher lifetime rates of ecstasy, cocaine, methamphetamine, and LSD use compared to heterosexual women. These data suggest a need to better understand the influence of sexual orientation and sexual culture in relation to club drug use and to tailor health promotion efforts to meet the needs of various groups of club drug using women.
尽管已有大量实证研究记录了男同性恋者和双性恋男性使用俱乐部毒品的当前趋势，但针对女同性恋者、双性恋女性或异性恋女性之间的差异开展的研究却很少。本研究利用2005年通过时空抽样从纽约市舞蹈俱乐部收集的数据（N = 1104），探讨了女性在报告使用六种俱乐部毒品（甲基苯丙胺、可卡因、摇头丸、氯胺酮、γ-羟基丁酸酯和麦角酸二乙酰胺）方面的性取向差异。研究发现了显著差异，即年轻女性更有可能是活跃的俱乐部毒品使用者。与异性恋女性相比，女同性恋者和双性恋女性报告的摇头丸、可卡因、甲基苯丙胺和麦角酸二乙酰胺的终身使用率显著更高。这些数据表明，有必要更好地了解性取向和性文化对俱乐部毒品使用的影响，并调整健康促进工作以满足各类使用俱乐部毒品的女性群体的需求。
