为了调查过去30天的非法药物使用是否在针对女同性恋者、男同性恋者、双性恋者和变性人(LGBT或性少数群体)的仇恨犯罪更普遍的社区更常见。我们使用了一项对马萨诸塞州波士顿公立学校青年的基于人口的调查，调查对象包括来自2008年波士顿青年调查地理空间数据库(性别少数群体n=108)的1292名9-12年级学生。2005年至2008年期间涉及攻击或攻击和殴打的LGBT仇恨犯罪的数据是从波士顿警察局获得的，并与年轻人的住址有关。年轻人报告说，超过30天的时间里，他们使用大麻和其他非法药物。计算Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney检验和相应的p值，以评估社区一级LGBT攻击仇恨犯罪率在性少数族裔青年(n=103)中使用物质的差异。在报告目前使用大麻的性少数族裔青年社区中，LGBT攻击仇恨犯罪率为每10万人23.7人，相比之下，报告没有使用大麻的性少数族裔青年的犯罪率为每10万人12.9人(p=0.04)。在异性恋青年中，没有发现LGBT攻击仇恨犯罪与大麻使用之间的关联(p>；0.05)，也没有发现性少数群体大麻使用与整个社区一级的暴力和财产犯罪之间的关联(p>；0.05)，这为结果的特异性提供了证据。我们发现，在LGBT袭击仇恨犯罪发生率较高的社区，性少数族裔青年使用大麻的流行率明显更高。这些结果表明，邻里环境(即LGBT仇恨犯罪)可能有助于大麻使用中的性取向差异。
To investigate whether past-30 day illicit drug use among sexual minority youth was more common in neighborhoods with a greater prevalence of hate crimes targeting lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT, or sexual minority) individuals. We used a population-based survey of public school youth in Boston, Massachusetts, consisting of 1292 9th–12th grade students from the 2008 Boston Youth Survey Geospatial Dataset (sexual minority n = 108). Data on LGBT hate crimes involving assaults or assaults and battery between 2005 and 2008 were obtained from the Boston Police Department and linked to youths’ residential address. Youth reported past-30 day use of marijuana and other illicit drugs. Wilcoxon–Mann–Whitney tests and corresponding p-values were computed to assess differences in substance use by neighborhood-level LGBT assault hate crime rate among sexual minority youth (n = 103). The LGBT assault hate crime rate in the neighborhoods of sexual minority youth who reported current marijuana use was 23.7 per 100,000, compared to 12.9 per 100,000 for sexual minority youth who reported no marijuana use (p = 0.04). No associations between LGBT assault hate crimes and marijuana use among heterosexual youth (p > 0.05) or between sexual minority marijuana use and overall neighborhood-level violent and property crimes (p > 0.05) were detected, providing evidence for result specificity. We found a significantly greater prevalence of marijuana use among sexual minority youth in neighborhoods with a higher prevalence of LGBT assault hate crimes. These results suggest that neighborhood context (i.e., LGBT hate crimes) may contribute to sexual orientation disparities in marijuana use.
