To examine differences between heterosexual and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and questioning students' nonmedical use of prescription drugs (NMUPD).
First-year university students between October 2009 and October 2013 who self-identified as heterosexual, lesbian, gay, bisexual, or questioning.
Students completed questionnaires on demographic variables and NMUPD. Any NMUPD was examined, as were stimulants, anxiolytics, and painkillers. Hierarchical regression was used to examine differential NMUPD based on sexual orientation, gender, and race.
For any NMUPD and painkillers, bisexual and questioning students reported higher rates of nonmedical use than heterosexual students and gay men. When compared with heterosexual females, lesbian, bisexual, and questioning females reported higher any NMUPD and nonmedical painkiller use. For stimulants and anxiolytics, bisexual students reported the highest nonmedical use, followed by gay and lesbian students.
There may be particular risk for NMUPD associated with membership in marginalized groups in terms of both sexual orientation and gender.
研究异性恋学生与女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋及性取向存疑学生在非医疗目的使用处方药（NMUPD）方面的差异。
2009年10月至2013年10月期间自我认定为异性恋、女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋或性取向存疑的大学一年级学生。
学生完成关于人口统计学变量和非医疗目的使用处方药情况的问卷调查。对任何非医疗目的使用处方药的情况进行了调查，包括兴奋剂、抗焦虑药和止痛药。采用分层回归分析基于性取向、性别和种族的非医疗目的使用处方药的差异。
在任何非医疗目的使用处方药和使用止痛药方面，双性恋及性取向存疑的学生报告的非医疗使用率高于异性恋学生和男同性恋学生。与异性恋女性相比，女同性恋、双性恋及性取向存疑的女性报告的任何非医疗目的使用处方药和非医疗使用止痛药的比例更高。在使用兴奋剂和抗焦虑药方面，双性恋学生报告的非医疗使用率最高，其次是男同性恋和女同性恋学生。
就性取向和性别而言，处于边缘群体的学生在非医疗目的使用处方药方面可能存在特殊风险。
