BACKGROUND
The transition to parenthood is a significant life event that has implications for health behaviors and health. Few studies have examined alcohol use and smoking by parenthood status (nonparent vs. parent) among women who identify as lesbian.
METHODS
This study used data from two longitudinal studies, the Chicago Health and Life Experiences of Women Study (n = 135) and the U.S. National Longitudinal Lesbian Family Study (n = 116), to compare problem drinking and cigarette smoking trajectories among lesbian-identified women by parenthood status. We used mixed models to investigate differences in problem drinking and cigarette smoking in three waves of data in each study.
RESULTS
Lesbian parents reported significantly less problem drinking, but not cigarette smoking, than nonparent lesbian women. When considering the interaction between parental status and time, problem drinking was significantly higher among nonparents than parents at each time interval.
CONCLUSIONS
Parenthood was associated with positive changes in drinking among lesbian women; however, more research is needed to understand how to support smoking cessation among parenting lesbian women.
背景
为人父母是人生中的重大事件，会对健康行为和健康产生影响。很少有研究调查过自认为是女同性恋者的女性的父母身份（非父母与父母）与饮酒和吸烟之间的关系。
方法
本研究使用了两项纵向研究的数据，即芝加哥女性健康和生活经历研究（n=135）和美国全国女同性恋家庭纵向研究（n=116），比较了父母身份不同的女同性恋者在饮酒问题和吸烟轨迹方面的差异。我们使用混合模型在每个研究的三波数据中调查了饮酒问题和吸烟的差异。
结果
与非父母女同性恋者相比，女同性恋父母报告的饮酒问题明显较少，但吸烟情况并非如此。当考虑到父母身份和时间之间的相互作用时，在每个时间间隔，非父母的饮酒问题明显高于父母。
结论
为人父母与女同性恋者饮酒习惯的积极变化有关；然而，需要进一步研究如何支持育儿女同性恋者戒烟。
