This study examined the associations between three types of discrimination (sexual orientation, race, and gender) and substance use disorders in a large national sample. The results indicated that more than two-thirds of LGB adults reported at least one type of discrimination in their lifetimes. The odds of past-year substance use disorders were nearly four times greater among LGB adults who reported all three types of discrimination than those who did not report discrimination.
