Abstract

Sexual minority women (SMW) engage in higher rates of substance use treatment than their heterosexual counterparts, yet little is known about how treatment can target the unique needs of SMW. This systematic review identified twelve articles that focused on testing or developing substance use interventions for SMW. Adaptations to meet the needs of SMW focused on sexual orientation, gender, minority stress, and mental health. Only four interventions were empirically evaluated. Behavioral interventions had the greatest empirical support, and results were mixed for the inclusion of partners in treatment. Future research should empirically evaluate proposed identity-focused substance use interventions for SMW.

摘要

性少数族裔妇女（SMW）的吸毒治疗率高于异性恋女性，但对于治疗如何针对SMW的独特需求知之甚少。该系统评价确定了12篇文章，重点讨论了SMW的药物滥用干预措施的测试或开发。满足SMW需求的适应措施集中在性取向，性别，少数群体压力和心理健康上。根据经验仅评估了四种干预措施。行为干预具有最大的经验支持，对于将合作伙伴纳入治疗的结果参差不齐。未来的研究应凭经验评估提议的针对SMW的以身份为中心的物质使用干预措施。
