Article Abstract
Comprehensive and inclusive dating abuse prevention is hindered by a lack of research on proximal antecedents of cyber dating abuse (CDA) among lesbian, gay, bi-/pansexual, queer, and other nonheterosexual (LGBQ+) young adults. Guided by sexual minority stress and alcohol-related violence theories, we addressed this gap by examining whether (a) alcohol use preceded and was positively related to CDA perpetration and (b) more frequent LGBQ+-based discrimination strengthened this association. LGBQ+ college students ( = 41; 75.6% women, 22% men, and 2.4% transgender/nonbinary) completed baseline assessments of past-year LGBQ+-specific discrimination (hostility, heterosexist harassment, and incivility) followed by daily assessments of alcohol use and CDA for 60 days. Multilevel modeling revealed that participants were less likely to perpetrate CDA on days when they consumed more alcohol than usual (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = .49, < .001). Individuals who experienced more frequent hostility (aOR = .63, < .001) and incivility (aOR = .88, = .003) were less likely to perpetrate CDA. No other main effects or alcohol × discrimination interactions emerged. Alcohol may not be a proximal antecedent of LGBQ+ college students' CDA. Daily assessments of discrimination and couple-level coping may help clarify the role of LGBQ+-specific discrimination in CDA.

Introduction: Literature has found that LGBTQIA + faculty members experience discrimination both within the classroom and the larger academic environment, including decreased faculty collaboration, student support, and opportunities for promotion and tenure. However, few researchers have examined the experiences of LGBQ faculty within social work programs. Given this paucity in the literature, we examined the perceptions of faculty members in US social work schools regarding inclusive LGBTIA + policies, and how these policies influence the environments for and experiences of LGBQ faculty members.

Hypertension (HTN) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Affecting ∼ 50% of adults in the general population, HTN has recently been found to be more prevalent in individuals who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+). HTN in the LGBTQ+ community is hypothesized to be mediated by excessive levels of identity-dependent psychosocial stress, as posited in the Minority Stress Theory.

Studying the mental health effects of parenthood is challenging due to unequal selection into parenthood. This study used data from the English longitudinal cohort Next Steps (N = 7095) to examine the association between parenthood, psychological distress and life satisfaction at age 32, accounting for observable selection effects. A lifecourse perspective offered insights into early life inequalities that influence fertility decisions and parent's life stage, which, in turn, may shape the extent to which parenthood is a determinant of mental health.

Inclusive school policies and youth advocacy could promote well-being and positive development among youth of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities. Utilizing three waves of data over a 6-month period, we tested a three-level multilevel model on the extent to which youth's advocacy in gender-sexuality alliances (GSAs; school clubs affirming youth identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning or with other expansive sexual orientations or gender identities [LGBTQ+]) and attending schools that more thoroughly implemented LGBTQ+ inclusive policies and practices were associated with youth's self-worth. Participants were 627 youth (87% LGBQ+ youth, 45% transgender or nonbinary youth, 48% youth of color, = 15.

Sexual exploitation represents a significant public health problem. One form of sexual exploitation that warrants urgent attention is technology-facilitated sexual exploitation (TFSE), especially given rapid increases in digital technology and social media usage, particularly among young people. The newly updated Sexual Experiences Survey (SES-V), a measure of sexual exploitation, now includes a module to measure TFSE.
