Intersectional Oppression-Based Stress, Drinking to Cope Motives, and Alcohol Use and Hazardous Drinking Among Sexual and Gender Minority Adolescents Who Are Black, Indigenous, and People of Color

This study examined the associations between intersectional oppression-based stress and recent alcohol use and hazardous drinking among sexual and gender minority (SGM; e.g., queer or transgender) adolescents who were Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), also known as queer and transgender BIPOC (QTBIPOC) adolescents, and the mediating role of coping motives (i.e., drinking to cope) on these associations.
