abstract="PURPOSE: To examine disparities in mental health and high-risk alcohol use among high school students by sexual orientation, and the impact of having access to an adult with whom to talk. DESIGN AND METHODS: Cross-sectional survey, from the 2015 Kentucky Youth Risk Behavior Survey. Logistic regression estimated the relationship between being &quot;non-heterosexual&quot; on mental health (e.g, suicidal ideation/attempt) and alcohol behaviors (e.g, binge drinking), controlling for demographics and &quot;having an adult to talk to.&quot; FINDINGS: Non-heterosexual students were more likely to report all adverse outcomes and risk was lower among students who report &quot;having an adult to talk to.&quot; PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Psychiatric nurses need to assess sexual minority youth for access to positive adult relationships.<br><br>© 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
