Alcohol and tobacco use among lesbian, bisexual and queer identifying women

该项目旨在调查女同性恋、双性恋和同性恋(LBQ)女性的饮酒和吸烟行为，与异性恋女性相比，这些女性的吸烟和饮酒行为要高得多。通过使用创新的纵向定性方法，该项目期望产生关于文化和社会力量的新知识，这些力量塑造了LBQ女性更高的烟酒使用率，并更好地了解其影响。预计该项目将加强健康促进和政策组织的能力，以满足这一人群的酒精管理和戒烟需求。该项目的结果应有助于缓解LBQ妇女经历的健康和社会不平等。

This project aims to examine practices of alcohol and tobacco use among lesbian, bisexual and queer-identifying (LBQ) women, which are considerably higher compared to heterosexual women. By using an innovative, longitudinal qualitative approach, this project expects to generate new knowledge regarding the cultural and social forces that shape higher rates of alcohol and tobacco use among LBQ women, and to better understand their impacts. It is anticipated that the project will enhance the capacity of health promotion and policy organisations to meet the alcohol management and smoking cessation needs of this population. Findings from this project should help to alleviate health and social inequalities experienced by LBQ women.
