背景：越来越多的证据表明，女同性恋和双性恋女性因饮酒和吸烟对健康造成有害影响的风险可能特别高。方法：我们报告了加州妇女健康调查（1998-2000 年）的调查结果。一个跛子。加利福尼亚州妇女年度全州健康监测调查于 1998 年开始纳入评估同性性行为的问题。结果：总体而言，有同性恋经历的女性比仅有异性恋经历的女性更有可能吸烟，并且饮酒量更高。无论是频率还是数量。关注年龄、群体。饮酒模式中性取向差异最大的群体似乎集中在 26-35 岁的女性群体中。我们还发现，最近活跃的双性恋女性比纯粹的异性恋活跃女性的饮酒量更高、风险更高。相比之下，在有同性恋经历的女性中，那些最近完全同性恋活跃的女性并没有表现出一致的证据表明存在饮酒风险模式。讨论：研究结果强调了考虑有同性恋经历的女性在吸烟和功能失调性饮酒风险中的群体内差异的重要性。 (C) 2004 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Background: Mounting evidence suggests that lesbians and bisexual women may be at especially elevated risk for the harmful health effects of alcohol and tobacco use.Methods: We report findings from the California Women's Health Survey (1998-2000). a lame. annual statewide health surveillance survey of California women that in 1998 began to include questions assessing same-gender sexual behavior.Results: Overall, homosexually experienced women are more likely than exclusively heterosexually experienced women to currently-smoke and to evidence higher levels of alcohol consumption. both in frequency and quantity. Focusing on age, cohorts. the greatest sexual orieniation disparity in alcohol use patterns appears clustered among women in the 26-35-year-old group. We also find that recently bisexually, active women report higher and riskier alcohol use than women who are exclusively heterosexually active. By contrast, among homosexually experienced women, those who are recently exclusively homosexually active do not show consistent evidence of at-risk patterns of alcohol consumption.Discussion: Findings underscore the importance of considering within-group differences among homosexually experienced women in risk for tobacco and dysfunctional alcohol use.
