Objective
The objectives of this study were to: 1) describe the prevalence and patterns of substance use in transgender and gender diverse (TGD) youth, 2) identify and evaluate potential correlates of substance use, and 3) report the strengths and limitations of the current literature in recommendation of future steps.
Findings/Key points
Findings suggest TGD youth exhibit a moderate-to-high prevalence of recent substance use, including alcohol (23–31%), binge drinking (11–59%), cigarettes (10–59%), e-cigarettes (17–27%), and marijuana (17–46%). Additionally, results supported that greater victimization experiences, including those related and unrelated to being a gender minority, were associated with increased substance use risk.
