This study aimed to measure the frequency of high-quality and transparent sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) data collection and reporting in highly cited current alcohol use research, using the extant literature to identify community-informed priorities for the measurement of these variables. A single search to identify alcohol use literature was conducted on PubMed with results restricted to primary research articles published between 2015 and 2022. The 200 most highly cited studies from each year were identified and their titles and abstracts reviewed against inclusion criteria after deduplication. After full-text review, study characteristics and data indicating quality of SOGI reporting were extracted. The fidelity of the results was verified with a random sample before analyses. The final sample comprised 580 records. Few studies reported gender identity ( = 194; 33.4%) and, of these, 7.2% reported the associated gender identity measure. A two-stage approach to measure gender was adopted in 3 studies, one study used an open-ended question with a free-text response option, and 13 studies recorded nonbinary gender identities (reported by 0.9% of the whole sample). Nineteen (3.3%) studies reported sexual orientation and more than half of these provided the sexual orientation measure. Eight of the 20 studies that reported sexual orientation and/or gender identity measures were classified as sexual and gender minority specialist research. Culturally competent SOGI reporting is lacking in highly cited current alcohol research. SOGI measures should be disclosed in future research and should provide free-text response options.
本研究旨在衡量高引用的当前酒精使用研究中高质量和透明的性取向和性别认同 (SOGI) 数据收集和报告的频率，利用现有文献确定社区告知的测量这些变量的优先事项。在 PubMed 上进行了一次单独的搜索，以确定酒精使用文献，结果仅限于 2015 年至 2022 年期间发表的主要研究文章。每年确定最具引用量的 200 篇研究，并在去重后根据纳入标准审查其标题和摘要。在全文审查后，提取了研究特征和表示 SOGI 报告质量的数据。在分析之前，使用随机样本验证了结果的保真度。最终样本包括 580 条记录。很少有研究报告性别认同（= 194；33.4%），其中 7.2%报告了相关的性别认同衡量标准。有 3 项研究采用了两步法来衡量性别，一项研究使用了带有自由文本回复选项的开放式问题，13 项研究记录了非二进制性别认同（占整个样本的 0.9%）。19 项（3.3%）研究报告了性取向，其中一半以上提供了性取向衡量标准。在报告性取向和/或性别认同衡量标准的 20 项研究中，有 8 项被归类为性和性别少数群体专业研究。在高引用的当前酒精研究中，缺乏文化能力的 SOGI 报告。未来的研究应披露 SOGI 措施，并应提供自由文本回复选项。
