Substance Use Trends: Includes data on past-month and past-year alcohol, nicotine, marijuana, and illicit drug use, as well as prescription pain reliever misuse.
Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Estimates: Examines drug and alcohol dependence rates among LGB adults, comparing young adults (18-25) with older adults (26+).
Mental Health & Suicidal Thoughts: Highlights rates of mental illness, serious mental illness (SMI), and suicidal ideation, planning, and attempts within the LGB population.
Treatment & Recovery Statistics: Reports on the percentage of LGB adults receiving mental health or substance use disorder treatment and those who identify as being in recovery.
Comparison by Sexual Identity: Analyzes differences in substance use, mental health, and treatment access between LGB and straight adults.
Key Findings:
Higher Substance Use Among LGB Adults: LGB adults reported higher rates of binge drinking, marijuana use, and illicit drug use compared to straight adults.
Disparities in Mental Health: LGB young adults (18-25) had the highest rates of serious mental illness and suicide risk, with bisexual individuals reporting greater vulnerability to substance misuse and suicidal behaviors.
Limited Treatment Access: A significant portion of LGB adults with substance use disorders and mental health conditions did not receive treatment.
