Among sexual minority women, alcohol more prevalent in suicides
Abstract
An examination of national data on alcohol‐related suicides has found a greater prevalence of alcohol involvement among lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) women than among heterosexual women. The research team was surprised to discover, however, that the same disparity based on sexual orientation did not exist among men.
