An ecological momentary assessment study of predictors for alcohol outcomes in transgender and gender diverse youth.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

This study examined how gender minority stressors and resilience experienced by transgender and gender diverse (TGD) youth relate to daily and momentary occurrences of alcohol use risk processes (e.g., alcohol craving, drinking motives, and distress), alcohol use, and alcohol-related harms. The feasibility of ecological momentary assessment (EMA) was evaluated.

Methods

Forty TGD youth (mean 22.42 years [SD = 3.03]; range 18-29) completed a baseline interview followed by 21 days of EMA. Daily morning surveys assessed stressors and resilience, alcohol risk processes, use and harms experienced "yesterday" and twice-daily random surveys assessed most of these experiences in the "past 30 min" or "right now."

Results

Using multilevel models, at the daily
