Abstract

Purpose: College students who identify as a sexual minority consume alcohol at rates that are equal to, or greater than, their heterosexual peers and sexual minority stress factors (e.g. discrimination, sexual orientation-based violence) are predictors of their alcohol use. Despite research supporting the use of brief motivational interventions (BMIs) to reduce alcohol use among college student populations, there has yet to be a single study to investigate whether BMIs are effective for reducing alcohol use and consequences among sexual minority college students.

Methods: In this article we provide recommendations for ways BMIs for sexual minority college student drinking can be more affirming by incorporating minority stress factors into their programs.

Results: To confirm that no empirical studies examined the efficacy of BMIs, or adapted BMIs to include a focus on minority stress, for reducing alcohol use among sexual minority college students, we first conducted a systematic literature review of BMIs for sexual minority college student drinking using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines.

Conclusion: Next, based on (1) evidence that culturally adapting empirically-support treatments improves outcomes and (2) a conceptual model of minority stress and alcohol use, we recommend ways that BMIs for sexual minority college student drinking could be adapted to include a focus on minority stress experiences. We also recommend ways that existing components of BMIs, particularly alcohol expectancies, coping motives, and normative feedback on peers’ alcohol use, could be modified to better align with the experiences and perceptions of sexual minority college students.

摘要

目的：认定为性少数群体的大学生饮酒的比率等于或高于其异性恋同龄人，而性少数群体的压力因素（例如歧视、基于性取向的暴力）是他们饮酒的预测因素。尽管研究支持使用简短的动机干预 (BMIs) 来减少大学生群体的酒精使用，但还没有一项研究来调查 BMIs 是否有效减少性少数大学生的酒精使用和后果。

方法：在本文中，我们通过将少数族裔压力因素纳入他们的计划，为性少数大学生饮酒的 BMI 方法提供了建议。

结果：为了确认没有实证研究检验 BMI 的功效，或调整 BMI 以包括关注少数族裔压力，以减少性少数大学生的酒精使用，我们首先对 BMI 对性少数大学生饮酒进行了系统的文献回顾使用系统评价和荟萃分析的首选报告项目 (PRISMA) 指南。

结_专注于少数人的压力经历。我们还建议可以修改 BMI 的现有组成部分，特别是酒精预期、应对动机和对同伴饮酒的规范反馈，以更好地与性少数大学生的经历和看法保持一致。
