N2  - Substance use patterns of 39 gay, lesbian, or bisexual (GLB) students and a matched control of 156 heterosexual students were followed for 4 years upon college matriculation. Participants were primarily Caucasian (95%), male (62%), and of traditional age (mean age = 18.5). GLB students were more alcohol involved than heterosexual students, but not more drug involved or psychologically distressed (as measured by the Brief Symptom Inventory; BSI). The relationship between BSI scores and alcohol dependence was stronger for GLB students.<p />
