Abstrakt: Background: Sexual and gender minority (SGM) people are more likely than their cisgender, heterosexual counterparts to report negative alcohol-related outcomes. Although the association between individual- and interpersonal-level minority stressors and negative alcohol-related outcomes among SGM people is well-established, structural-level minority stressors are understudied. This systematic review examined structural-level stigma and alcohol-related outcomes among SGM people to inform future research, interventions, and policy.
Methods: We used five electronic databases to search for studies published between January 2010 and May 2022 that examined associations between structural stigma and alcohol use among SGM adults in the United States. Peer-reviewed, quantitative studies available in English were included. We conducted quality appraisal using the Joanna Briggs Institute checklist.
Results: The final sample included 11 studies. Overall, there was moderate to strong support for a positive association between structural stigma and negative alcohol-related outcomes among SGM people, with differences by gender, sexual identity, race, and ethnicity. All studies used cross-sectional designs, and nearly half utilized non-probability samples. Transgender and nonbinary people, SGM people of color, and sexual identity subgroups beyond gay, lesbian, and heterosexual were underrepresented. Structural stigma was most commonly measured as a state-level index. Alcohol measures were heterogeneous. Multilevel stigma and resiliency factors were understudied.
Conclusions: Addressing structural stigma is critical in reducing negative alcohol-related outcomes and inequities among SGM people. Research is needed that includes probability samples, longitudinal designs, and samples that reflect the diversity of SGM people. Future studies should examine the influence of multilevel stigma and resiliency factors on alcohol-related outcomes.
