背景虽然异性恋欺凌主要影响性少数青少年，但异性恋青少年也可能成为目标。需要进行研究来了解异性恋欺凌受害者对异性恋青少年行为健康的影响。此外，缺乏研究来检验异性恋青少年中实施异性恋欺凌行为的负面后果。本研究的目的是探讨不同种族的异性恋青少年样本中异性恋欺凌行为的受害和实施与药物使用之间的关联。方法采用随机聚类方法从美国东南部学区获得初高中异性恋学生（N = 2,337；11-19 岁；52.7% 女性；35.9% 黑人或非裔美国人，31.9% 白人）的概率样本。在考虑社会人口统计学的情况下，使用多重逻辑回归模型来测试经历和实施异性恋欺凌与药物使用之间的关系。结果在参与者中，7.1% 报告遭受异性恋欺凌，7.8% 报告实施异性恋欺凌。在那些参与异性恋欺凌行为的人中，29.5% 的人也曾作为受害者经历过。实施异性恋欺凌行为与最近和一生使用酒精、香烟、电子烟、大麻和处方药的可能性更大有关。异性恋欺凌受害仅与最近和一生使用香烟以及一生使用电子烟有关。结论结果表明，异性恋欺凌受害和实施与异性恋青少年的物质使用呈负相关。研究结果强调，不仅需要解决异性恋欺凌等性耻辱问题，还需要解决肇事者之间的问题，以帮助减少所有青少年的药物使用。
BackgroundAlthough heterosexist bullying mainly affects sexual minority adolescents, heterosexual adolescents may also be targets. Research is needed to understand the impact of heterosexist bullying victimization on heterosexual adolescents’ behavioral health. Moreover, there is a dearth of research examining the negative consequences of perpetrating heterosexist bullying among heterosexual adolescents. The purpose of this study was to examine the associations between heterosexist bullying victimization and perpetration and substance use in a racially diverse sample of heterosexual adolescents.MethodsA probability sample of middle and high school heterosexual students (N= 2,337; aged 11–19; 52.7% female; 35.9% Black or African American and 31.9% White) using random cluster methods was obtained from a southeastern US school district. Multiple logistic regression models were used to test the relationships between experiencing and perpetrating heterosexist bullying and substance use while accounting for sociodemographics.ResultsOf the participants, 7.1% reported heterosexist bullying victimization and 7.8% reported perpetration of heterosexist bullying. Of those engaging in heterosexist bullying, 29.5% also experienced it as a victim. Perpetrating heterosexist bullying was associated with greater odds of recent and lifetime alcohol, cigarette, e-cigarette, cannabis, and prescription drug use. Heterosexist bullying victimization was only associated with recent and lifetime cigarette use and lifetime e-cigarette use.ConclusionsThe results demonstrate the negative correlates of heterosexist bullying victimization and perpetration on heterosexual adolescents’ substance use. The findings underscore the need to address sexual stigma, such as heterosexist bullying, among not only adolescents experiencing it but also its perpetrators to help reduce substance use among all adolescents.
