Prior research suggests that sexual minority females, particularly bisexuals,
report greater rates of substance use than heterosexuals. However, to our
knowledge, no study has compared alcohol/drug use between bisexual and
heterosexual incarcerated or detained female youth. The current study pools data
from three prior treatment studies with incarcerated or detained adolescent girls
that self-identify as bisexual or heterosexual (N=86). Hierarchical regression
models were conducted to determine whether 12-month prevalence of alcohol,
cigarettes, marijuana, or other drug use differed between bisexual and
heterosexual participants. In contrast to most prior work, no differences were
observed. Findings are considered in light of the recruitment setting, which drew
a sample with high levels of substance use prevalence.
