Concept
Alcohol use and psychological distress among sexual and gender minority students: Limitations
- The study used a non-probability sampling strategy, which limits the researchers’ ability to generalize findings to broader populations.
- The study also uses a retrospective cross-sectional data collection strategy, which limits inferences on causality.
- Given the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on racial and ethnic minorities and other socially disadvantaged populations, future researchers are urged to investigate the needs of SGM young persons situated at the intersections of multiple marginalized identities amid and beyond the pandemic.
- Students who were assigned female at birth accounted for a larger proportion of a sample compared to those assigned male at birth, which may have increased power to detect effects among assigned females relative to assigned males.
