Belonging to a school Gender and Sexuality Alliance (GSA) is associated with lower substance use among LGBTQ+ youth. However, it is unknown whether GSA participation facilitates access to resources for substance use concerns. Using longitudinal data from 38 Massachusetts high schools, we compared sources of support for substance use concerns listed by GSA members (n = 361) and nonmembers (n = 1539). Subsequently, we tested whether GSA membership was associated with comfort, confidence and awareness regarding substance use resources in school and the community. Finally, we assessed whether specific GSA activities and discussions (e.g. social support) were associated with these outcomes. Among students with recent substance use, GSA membership was associated with greater comfort, confidence and awareness regarding school-based substance use resources in the spring semester, adjusted for fall semester levels and non-GSA club involvement. Furthermore, students in GSAs where members reported more advocacy and social support activities reported higher levels of comfort, confidence and awareness regarding community-based substance use resources. These results indicate that among students using alcohol or nicotine products, GSA members may be more receptive to school-based substance use prevention efforts. Furthermore, GSA-based social support and activism experiences may promote access to community-based substance use resources.

性别-性联盟成员和活动:与学生对毒品使用资源的舒适度,信心和意识相关联。

属于学校的性别与性行为联盟(GSA)与LGBTQ +青年中较低的物质使用量相关。但是,尚不清楚GSA的参与是否能促进对物质使用问题的资源获取。使用来自马萨诸塞州38所中学的纵向数据,我们比较了GSA成员(n = 361)和非成员(n = 1539)列出的对物质使用关注的支持来源。随后,我们测试了GSA成员资格是否与学校和社区中对毒品使用资源的舒适感,自信心和意识有关。最后,我们评估了GSA的具体活动和讨论(例如社会支持)是否与这些结果相关联。在最近吸毒的学生中,GSA会员资格与更大的舒适感相关,对春季学期校本物质使用资源的信心和意识,并根据秋季学期水平和非GSA俱乐部参与程度进行了调整。此外,在GSA中,成员报告了更多的倡导和社会支持活动的学生报告了对基于社区的毒品使用资源的更高程度的舒适感,信心和意识。这些结果表明,在使用酒精或尼古丁产品的学生中,GSA成员可能更愿意接受基于学校的药物滥用预防工作。此外,基于GSA的社会支持和行动经验可以促进获取基于社区的毒品使用资源。GSA中的成员报告了更多的倡导和社会支持活动的学生报告了对基于社区的毒品使用资源的更高程度的舒适感,信心和意识。这些结果表明,在使用酒精或尼古丁产品的学生中,GSA成员可能更愿意接受基于学校的药物滥用预防工作。此外,基于GSA的社会支持和行动经验可以促进获取基于社区的毒品使用资源。GSA中的成员报告了更多的倡导和社会支持活动的学生报告了对基于社区的毒品使用资源的更高程度的舒适感,信心和意识。这些结果表明,在使用酒精或尼古丁产品的学生中,GSA成员可能更愿意接受基于学校的药物滥用预防工作。此外,基于GSA的社会支持和行动经验可以促进获取基于社区的毒品使用资源。
