目的和参与者：作者将大学双性恋女性与异性恋女性的饮酒行为、动机和问题进行了比较（N=2,788；n=86 双性恋女性）。方法：数据来自 2003 年学生生活调查，这是在中西部一所大型大学进行的一项基于人群的随机调查。作者探讨了这样一个假设，即双性恋女性比异性恋女性更有可能报告与压力和应对性别认同耻辱有关的饮酒动机。结果：他们发现双性恋女性的饮酒量明显低于异性恋女性。两组在饮酒动机和问题上几乎没有差异。双性恋女性报告的与饮酒相关的问题数量相当，但与异性恋女性相比，她们更有可能在饮酒后考虑自杀。结论：需要更多的研究来理解这一发现：尽管双性恋女性的饮酒水平较低，但他们报告的饮酒问题数量相当。大学健康教育者和医疗保健提供者需要了解与双性恋女性自杀风险升高相关的研究结果。
Objective and Participants: The authors compared the drinking behaviors, motivations, and problems of collegiate bisexual women with those of heterosexual women (N=2,788; n=86 bisexual women). Methods: Data came from the 2003 Student Life Survey, a random population-based survey at a large midwestern university. The authors explored the hypothesis that bisexual women would be more likely than heterosexual women to report drinking motivations related to stress and coping as a result of sexual identity stigma. Results: They found that bisexual women drank significantly less than did heterosexual women. There were few differences between the 2 groups in drinking motivations and problems. Bisexual women reported a comparable number of problems related to their drinking but were significantly more likely to report contemplating suicide after drinking than were heterosexual women. Conclusions: More research is needed to understand the finding that despite lower levels of alcohol consumption, bisexual women reported a comparable number of drinking problems. College health educators and health care providers need to be aware of findings related to heightened suicidal risk among bisexual women.
