Substance use behaviours among sexual and gender minorities with a history of adverse childhood experiences: a systematic review and narrative-synthesis
Key Points
Adverse childhood experiences are linked to harmful substance use outcomes in sexual and gender minorities.
Findings indicate that multiple layers of marginalization may further complicate these associations.
This systematic review synthesizes existing data on substance use and adverse experiences among sexual and gender minorities.
Understanding these links highlights the complexity of support needed for individuals facing marginalization.
Abstract
