Planned versus unplanned alcohol and cannabis use: Motivational and contextual correlates among sexual minority women and gender diverse individuals.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Unplanned alcohol use has been theorized to contribute to experiencing more consequences at the daily level, and several risk factors have been identified in the general population. However, it remaines unclear whether these risk factors apply to sexual and gender minorities (SGM); if unique risk factors for substance use among SGM (e.g., microaggressions) are associated with elevated risk for unplanned alcohol or cannabis use; and if risk factors for unplanned drinking also apply to unplanned cannabis use.

Methods

We aimed to address these gaps by examining differences between planned and unplanned alcohol and cannabis use in motives, contexts of use, and SGM-specific factors at the daily level among 380 sexual minority women and gender diverse individuals assign
