利用895，218名10-18岁学生的校本样本，我们研究了有和没有同性恋-异性恋联盟（GSA）的学校中学生的学校功能，物质使用和心理健康的差异。此外，我们还研究了GSA的存在是否与有色人种学生和LGBTQ学生的这些结果相关。总的来说，在GSA学校的学生被发现报告更好的学校运作，更低的物质使用和更好的心理健康。对于有色人种的学生来说，GSA的存在与心理健康和物质使用之间的联系并不像非西班牙裔白色学生那样强烈。此外，对于LGBTQ学生来说，GSA的存在与学校运作之间的关联并不像非LGBTQ学生那样强烈。今后有必要进行研究，以确定全球服务协定的作用，特别是对边缘化青年的作用。
Utilizing a school-based sample of 895,218 students aged 10-18 years old, we examine differences in students' school functioning, substance use, and mental health in schools with and without Gay-Straight Alliances (GSAs). In addition, we examine whether GSA presence is associated with these outcomes for students of color and LGBTQ students. Overall, students in schools with GSAs were found to report better school functioning, lower substance use, and better mental health. For students of color, the association between the presence of a GSA and mental health and substance use was not as strong as it was for non-Hispanic white students. Further, for LGBTQ students, the association between the presence of a GSA and school functioning was not as strong as it was for non-LGBTQ students. Future research is necessary to ascertain the function of GSAs, especially for marginalized youth.
