Polyvictimization and Substance Use Among Sexual Minority Cisgender Women.

Violent victimization and substance use are higher among sexual minority cisgender women (SMCW) than heterosexual cisgender women. Unknown, however, is how polyvictimization-experiencing multiple types of violent victimization-affects substance use among SMCW. This study explores the relationship between polyvictimization and substance use among a small sample of SMCW.

Trans* Community Connection, Health, and Wellbeing: A Systematic Review.

Transgender and nonbinary (trans*) people are affected disproportionately by discrimination and violence, contributing to gender minority stress and negative health effects. Transgender community connection (TCC), defined as (i) emotional connectedness (internal sense of belonging) to the trans* community and/or (ii) behavioral participation in the trans* community (observable interaction with other trans* people, in person, online, or through media) may moderate these negative effects on health. This systematic review synthesizes research on links between TCC and health and wellbeing for trans* people.
