背景：女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋和跨性别个体比异性恋个体有更高的物质使用和物质使用障碍的风险，并且更有可能寻求物质使用治疗，然而性取向和性别认同在研究文献中经常没有报道。这项研究的目的是确定最近的药物使用文献中是否报告了性取向和性别认同，以及这种情况是否随着时间的推移而改变。方法：检索PsycINFO和PubMed数据库2007年和2012年发表的含有“药物滥用”一词的文章，在每个时间段和数据库中随机抽取200篇。文章根据是否存在性取向和性别认同信息进行编码。结果：2007年和2012年PsycINFO和PubMed样本文章中分别有3.0%和4.9%和2.3%和6.5%的样本报告了参与者的性取向，而2007年和2012年PsycINFO和PubMed样本文章中分别有0%和1.0%和2.3%和1.9%的样本报告了非二元性别认同。随着时间的推移，报告率没有差异。结论：性取向和性别认同在药物滥用文献中很少被报道，并且在2007年至2012年期间报告实践没有变化。对未来调查人员报告性取向和性别认同的建议也包括在内。2014爱思唯尔爱尔兰有限公司版权所有。
Background: Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals are at higher risk for substance use and substance use disorders than heterosexual individuals and are more likely to seek substance use treatment, yet sexual orientation and gender identity are frequently not reported in the research literature. The purpose of this study was to identify if sexual orientation and gender identity are being reported in the recent substance use literature, and if this has changed over time.Method: The PsycINFO and PubMed databases were searched for articles released in 2007 and 2012 using the term "substance abuse" and 200 articles were randomly selected from each time period and database. Articles were coded for the presence or absence of sexual orientation and gender identity information.Results: Participants' sexual orientation was reported in 3.0% and 4.9% of the 2007 and 2.3% and 6.5% of the 2012 sample, in PsycINFO and PubMed sample articles, respectively, while non-binary gender identity was reported in 0% and 1.0% of the 2007 sample and 2.3% and 1.9% of the 2012 PsycINFO and PubMed sample articles. There were no differences in rates of reporting over time.Conclusions: Sexual orientation and gender identity are rarely reported in the substance abuse literature, and there has not been a change in reporting practices between 2007 and 2012. Recommendations for future investigators in reporting sexual orientation and gender identity are included. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
