Association of transphobic discrimination and alcohol misuse among transgender adults: Results from the U.S. Transgender Survey.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Alcohol misuse remains a leading preventable risk factor for morbidity and mortality in the United States. Evidence suggests that alcohol misuse is more prevalent among transgender populations. This study examined the association between transphobic discrimination and alcohol use/misuse among a large sample of transgender people.

Methods

Using the 2015 U.S. Transgender Survey (N = 27,715), logistic regression models were conducted to estimate the adjusted odds ratios (AOR) and 95 % confidence intervals (CI) of current alcohol use, past-month binge drinking (≥1 occasion of consuming ≥5 alcoholic beverages within the past month), and past-month frequent binge drinking (≥5 occasions of binge drinking within the past month) among transgender people.
