: Researchers have documented associations between discrete conceptualizations of microaggressions (e.g., sexual identity, gender identity, and racial identity microaggressions) and alcohol use among sexual and gender minoritized people of color (SGM-POC). However, little is known about the association between intersectional microaggressions and alcohol use among SGM-POC. Moreover, protective factors such as community connectedness have been examined via similar discrete conceptualizations instead of examining SGM-POC community connectedness with other SGM-POC individuals. : The purpose of this study was to explore the association between intersectional microaggressions and alcohol use among SGM-POC and test whether different types of community connectedness moderated this association. : Cross-sectional data were collected from a sample of 267 SGM-POC individuals. Four moderation analyses were done to analyze whether different types of community connectedness (sexual identity, racial identity, gender identity, and SGM-POC identity community connectedness) were moderators of the association of intersectional microaggressions and alcohol use. : Intersectional microaggressions were significantly positively correlated with alcohol use. Furthermore, SGM-POC community connectedness moderated this association such that the association was stronger for individuals with higher levels of SGM-POC community connectedness, but not lower levels of SGM-POC community connectedness. : These findings showcase the importance of assessing for intersectional microaggressions as a risk factor for alcohol use. Similarly, the findings suggest that SGM-POC community connectedness may be a protective factor against alcohol use for SGM-POC.
研究人员记录了离散概念化的微侵犯（例如，性身份、性别认同和种族身份微侵犯）与少数性取向和性别认同的有色人种（SGM-POC）的酒精使用之间的关联。然而，人们对 SGM-POC 中交叉微侵犯与酒精使用之间的关联知之甚少。此外，已经通过类似的离散概念化来检查保护因素，例如社区联系，而不是检查 SGM-POC 与其他 SGM-POC 个体的社区联系。
本研究的目的是探讨 SGM-POC 中交叉微侵犯与酒精使用之间的关联，并检验不同类型的社区联系（性身份、种族身份、性别认同和 SGM-POC 身份社区联系）是否调节了这种关联。
横截面数据是从 267 名 SGM-POC 个体的样本中收集的。进行了四项调节分析，以分析不同类型的社区联系（性身份、种族身份、性别认同和 SGM-POC 身份社区联系）是否调节了交叉微侵犯与酒精使用之间的关联。
交叉微侵犯与酒精使用呈显著正相关。此外，SGM-POC 社区联系调节了这种关联，即对于 SGM-POC 社区联系水平较高的个体，这种关联更强，但对于 SGM-POC 社区联系水平较低的个体则不然。
这些发现展示了评估交叉微侵犯作为酒精使用风险因素的重要性。同样，研究结果表明，SGM-POC 社区联系可能是 SGM-POC 预防酒精使用的保护因素。
