背景资料：我们使用来自全国代表性样本的数据来比较被确定为主要是异性恋的成年女性与那些被确定为完全（仅）异性恋的成年女性之间的物质使用结果。方法：我们分析了2001年全国女性健康和生活经历研究第5波中主要是异性恋女性和仅异性恋女性的数据结果：大多数异性恋女性比只有异性恋女性更有可能报告除终生治疗外的所有酒精相关结局。终生和去年吸食大麻和可卡因的几率显示出更大的差异，大多数异性恋女性报告终生吸食可卡因的可能性是只有异性恋女性的近四倍，报告去年吸食的可能性是五倍。我们建议研究人员使用包括更微妙的反应选项的性身份测量，并且卫生保健提供者了解存在，大量，以及与大多数异性恋妇女的药物使用模式有关的风险/保护因素。
Background: We used data from a nationally representative sample to compare substance use outcomes among adult women who identified as mostly heterosexual with those who identified as exclusively (only) heterosexual.Method: We analyzed data from mostly heterosexual women and only heterosexual women in Wave 5 (2001) of the National Study of Health and Life Experiences of Women (weighted n = 1085).Results: Mostly heterosexual women were significantly more likely than only heterosexual women to report every alcohol-related outcome included in our analyses except lifetime treatment. Odds of lifetime and past-year marijuana and cocaine use showed larger differences, with mostly heterosexual women nearly four times as likely as only heterosexual women to report lifetime cocaine use and five times as likely to report past-year use.Conclusions: We recommend that researchers use measures of sexual identity that include more nuanced response options, and that health care providers learn about the existence, large numbers, and risk/protective factors associated with substance use patterns of mostly heterosexual women.
