Prior research suggests that sexual minority females, particularly bisexuals, report greater rates of substance use than heterosexuals. However, to our knowledge, no study has compared alcohol/drug use between bisexual and heterosexual incarcerated or detained female youth. The current study pools data from three prior treatment studies with incarcerated or detained adolescent girls that self-identify as bisexual or heterosexual (=86). Hierarchical regression models were conducted to determine whether 12-month prevalence of alcohol, cigarettes, marijuana, or other drug use differed between bisexual and heterosexual participants. In contrast to most prior work, no differences were observed. Findings are considered in light of the recruitment setting, which drew a sample with high levels of substance use prevalence.
先前的研究表明，性少数群体女性，尤其是双性恋女性，报告的物质使用发生率高于异性恋者。然而，据我们所知，尚无研究比较过被监禁或被拘留的双性恋和异性恋女性青少年的酒精/药物使用情况。本研究汇总了三项先前针对自我认定为双性恋或异性恋的被监禁或被拘留少女的治疗研究的数据（=86）。进行了分层回归模型分析，以确定双性恋和异性恋参与者在酒精、香烟、大麻或其他药物使用的12个月患病率上是否存在差异。与大多数先前的研究不同，未观察到差异。鉴于招募背景，本研究结果值得考虑，该背景抽取了物质使用患病率较高的样本。
