Social Correlates of Social Capital Access Among Gay and Bisexual Men in Japan
Significant health disparities exist between gay and bisexual men (GBM) and the general population in Japan and internationally. Social capital is recognized as a key factor for positive health and well‐being outcomes, including HIV prevention behaviors, among GBM. However, limited research examines how the sexual orientation of alters (i.e., possessors of resources within social capital networks) impacts access to these resources. In this study,…

Sexual literacy and parents’ confidence to discuss sex and relationships with children and adolescents in Australia
Parents play a fundamental role in educating their children, including younger children and teenagers, about sex and relationships. These conversations often involve complex and sensitive topics, which many parents find challenging due to limited knowledge, low confidence, or discomfort. This study investigated whether parents with higher sexual literacy – defined as the ability to seek and assess information to support sexual wellbeing and commu…
Transactional Intimacy and Structural Vulnerability
Very little is known about the practice of compensated dating among LGBTQA + youth in Japan. This is a critical gap in research, as compensated dating (enjo kōsai) is more commonly reported among young people experiencing economic hardship, social exclusion, or housing instability. LGBTQA + youth in Japan are disproportionately affected by structural vulnerabilities, yet their experiences remain underexamined in national data. This study examines…
Sexual Violence and Mental Health Among a National Australian Sample of Bisexual and Pansexual Cisgender Women
This study examines sexual violence and mental health among a national sample of 1,072 bisexual and pansexual cisgender women in Australia. Differences and similarities in demographics, perpetrator characteristics, sexual violence prevalence, and mental health outcomes are explored. Bisexual and pansexual women reported high levels of lifetime (63.3%) and past-year (13.9%) sexual violence, with pansexual women at higher risk. Significant associat…
Navigating Liminality in LGBTQ+ Family, Domestic and Sexual Violence Service Delivery
Researchers exploring lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer and other sexual and gender minority (LGBTQ+) family, domestic and sexual violence (FDSV) work in a climate in which much research, policy and practice has been shaped by heteronormative and cisnormative frameworks. LGBTQ+-focused FDSV researchers are faced with the challenge of trying to center LGBTQ+ people in a field of research that has traditionally denied their experiences of FDSV. …
Sex, Methamphetamine, and a Surge in Syphilis Among Women and Men Who Have Sex With Women
Globally rates of syphilis have been increasing since 1990 and, historically transmission has predominated among gay, bisexual, and men who have sex with men (GBMSM). In the past decade, transmission has increased among women and men who have sex with women (MSW). This led Australia to declare syphilis a communicable disease of national significance in August 2025. In this commentary, we consider the implications of these developments on concepti…

Associations between school-based relationships and sexuality education and young people’s sexual experiences
This study explored the relationship between sexual health indicators and the receipt of, and perceived relevance of, school-based sexuality education. Multiple regression analyses were conducted using data from 4,189 14- to 18-year-olds who participated in a cross-sectional Australian study. Receiving sexuality education was significantly associated with decreased STI risk, decreased experiences of unwanted sex, and better STI knowledge. High pe…
The diverse but common definitions of sex for young people in Australia
Relationships and sexuality education is a key strategy for promoting safe sex and respectful relationships during adolescence. Understanding the ways in which young people define sex is critical to ensuring a shared understanding between sexual health educators and students. Young people aged 14–18 years (N = 6,043) who participated in a large-scale cross-sectional Australian study were asked to indicate whether various sexual practices (e.g. va…

The study explores three research questions in relation to cisgender LGBQ+ respondents: (1) the prevalence of sexual violence among respondents and differences by gender and sexuality; (2) the gender of perpetrators of sexual violence again…
Psychological, social and cultural influences on smoking among lesbian, bisexual and queer women
This article identifies factors contributing to the ongoing socio-cultural relevance of smoking for some LBQ women in Australia. These specific psychological, social and cultural contexts remain salient for LBQ women's smoking and must be factored into smoking cessation campaigns and programme designs for this population. Tailored messaging that emphasises alternative self-care strategies and the benefits of quitting in the context of supportive …
Generative tension and social risk management surrounding sexualised drug use practice among men who have sex with men in highly stigmatised environments
Programmatic responses seeking to mitigate the risks associated with SDU practice among sexual minority men should incorporate established mechanisms of peer networks and virtual spaces into their design to maximise reach and intervention acceptability and effectiveness
Queering vaping
Vaping is a dynamic, contested queer practice, reflecting LBQ women's negotiations of identity, community, and agency within restrictive policy environments. Policy and public health strategies must consider the queer socio-cultural meanings and community practices that shape vaping, to avoid reinforcing stigma and unintended harms to LGBTQ+ communities

Predictors of burnout and resilience in individuals offering peer support within the LGBTQ+ community
LGBTQ+ individuals often turn to each other for support in coping with mental health issues. This peer-support is often needed because dedicated LGBTQ+ organisations are under-resourced and in great demand, and often LGBTQ+ people avoid mainstream health services. This study examined factors that predict burnout (i.e. emotional exhaustion and cynicism) and resilience (i.e. capacity to bounce back from stressful events) among LGBTQ+ peer support p…
Delineating the Distribution and Impact of Homelessness Among a Large Sample of LGBTQ + People in Australia
Introduction LGBTQ+ adults in Australia experience disproportionately high rates of homelessness, a major source of morbidity in this population. Despite this, research into the social distribution and structural drivers of homelessness among LGBTQ+ people remains limited. Methods We analyzed data from a nationwide survey of 6045 LGBTQ+ adults in Australia. Using logistic regression models adjusted for age and income, we examined the prevalence a…
Defying Distance
Introduction LGBTIQ+ people experiencing family violence in regional areas of Australia have historically had few service options, with most support being offered face to face in metropolitan centres. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, telehealth has helped to transform both how people access health services and how health services are delivered. Through necessity, video-facilitated remote appointments have been adopted at unprecedented le…
Practitioners’ Tight and Loose Strategies to Engage Users of Intimate-Partner Violence in Services for Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Queer (GBTQ) Men
Solidarity with IPV Perpetrators as a Challenge to Help-Seeking for LGBTQ + Victim-Survivors of Intimate Partner Violence
Purpose Existing research highlights how relationship ideologies and schemas can complicate help-seeking for victim-survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV). However, this perspective is largely absent in studies focusing on LGBTQ + victim-survivors. Available evidence indicates that similar schemas are relevant to LGBTQ + victim-survivors, particularly those that engender a sense of solidarity and relational loyalty with individuals who shar…

Experiences of Intimate-Partner Violence and Violence from a Family Member During Covid-19 Among LGBTQ Adults in Australia
Purpose The COVID-19 pandemic has presented unique challenges and concerns regarding the potential exacerbation of violence against lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and gender diverse and queer people from intimate partners and family members. The impacts of the pandemic may have been disproportionately felt by LGBTQ communities who already experienced high rates of intimate-partner violence and violence from family members entering the pandemic. Me…
LGBTQ Victim-Survivors' Experiences and Negotiations of Service Worker and Service System Discrimination
Purpose This study examined the experiences of LGBTQ victim-survivors who sought out support from domestic violence services in Australia. While the literature on intimate partner violence (IPV) is increasingly focused on improving LGBTQ inclusivity and cultural safety within both service and policy contexts, the experiences of LGBTQ victim-survivors themselves are often absent from these discussions. Consequently, little is understood about how …
Trans and Gender‐Diverse peoples’ experiences of crisis helpline services
Crisis helplines are typically easily accessible and deliver interventions in a timely manner, regardless of geographical location. The efficacy and user experiences of these services are the subject of considerable interest within the field, but the experiences of trans and gender-diverse individuals remain unexplored despite high rates of mental ill health being documented in this population. A total of 134 trans and gender-diverse Australians …
Affirmation, Friendship, and Volunteerism
Introduction Lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer or asexual (LGBTQA+) young people are at heightened risk of suicidality and psychological distress. Interventions in various forms are required to address this issue, which should be informed by the strengths, capacity and insight of LGBTQA+ young people. Methods An online survey was promoted to LGBTQA+ young people (aged 14–21) via targeted social media advertising and community organisation diss…
All the dykes I know drink beer
This article explores the relationship between gender, sexuality and alcohol consumption among lesbian, bisexual, and queer (LBQ) women in Australia. On average, LBQ women consume alcohol at a higher rate than heterosexual women, yet the use of alcohol and its gendered meanings in this population remain under-explored. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 42 cisgender women, 10 transgender women, and 8 non-binary people who identify as le…
Demographic predictors of experiences of homelessness among lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, gender-diverse and queer-identifying (LGBTIQ) young people in Australia
Homelessness among young lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, gender-diverse and queer-identifying (LGBTQ+) persons is highly prevalent and constitutes a structural risk to health and future life chances. However, the distribution of homelessness burden is among different LGBTQ+ subgroups is poorly understood. An Australia-wide cross-sectional online survey was conducted involving 6,481 LGBTQ+ participants aged 14–21 years during 2019. Single-predictor…
Alcohol and Tobacco Use Among Lesbian, Bisexual, and Queer Identifying Women
Background: Lesbian, bisexual, and queer (LBQ) women exhibit high rates of alcohol and tobacco use, yet there is limited qualitative research examining why. Previous research has focused on minority stress explanations, linking alcohol and tobacco use to experiences of discrimination. However, other work considers the social contexts and cultural practices associated with alcohol and tobacco consumption. This confirms the need for more in-depth u…

LGBTQ Mental Health Peer Support
Background Gender and sexual minority adults have significant unmet mental health care needs and are often faced with barriers to accessing appropriate services. In this context, LGBTQ individuals often turn to each other for mental health support. Methods In a sample of 326 LGBTQ adults ( M age = 37.64) who were providing mental health support to their LGBTQ peers, we examined the nature of LGBTQ peer support, including who provides peer support…
On the Structural Conditions Shaping Implementation of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ)-Inclusive Practices Within Intimate Partner Services in Australia
Purpose IPV constitutes a serious health concern for LGBTQ populations within Australia, yet inclusive service provision remains sparsely and unevenly accessible to victim-survivors. While poor availability and accessibility of inclusive services is widely recognized as an issue facing LGBTQ victim-survivors, few researchers have examined the structural or systemic basis of this problem. The current piece seeks to explore the structural condition…
Preferences for Types of Inclusive Family Violence Services Among LGBTQ People in Australia
Purpose LGBTQ people are less likely to seek support and face significant barriers in accessing affirmative family violence support services. Efforts to improve family violence service access must be grounded in the preferences of LGBTQ people themselves. Method Data from a large nationwide Australian survey of the health and wellbeing of LGBTQ adults were analysed. 4,148 participants expressed a preference for family violence service provision. …

Self-Perceived Reasons for Suicide Attempts in Sexual and Gender Minorities in Canada
The aim of this study was to examine the self-perceived reasons of suicide attempts among sexual and gender minorities (SGM). We surveyed SGM living in Canada (n = 2778) and respondents who had attempted suicide answered open-ended questions about their perceived reason(s) of their first/only attempt (FOA) and last attempt (LA) (for those who attempted multiple times). Responses were double-coded and categorized as discrete findings. A quarter (2…
Psychological distress mediates the link between bullying and truancy in Australian LGBQ+ adolescents with experiences of homelessness
Homelessness is a high prevalence experience among lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer (LGBQ+) youth, and potentiates both significant morbidity and future homelessness. While educational attainment is cited as a structural solution to homelessness, limited research exists on homeless LGBQ+ youths' schooling experiences. A nationwide, cross-sectional survey involving 4,370 cisgender LGBQ+ participants aged 14–21 was conducted to address this gap. R…
Perceptions and Cultural Practices of Vaping Among Lesbian, Bisexual, and Queer Women in Australia
Background The rising prevalence of vaping poses new challenges and opportunities for health policy and public health interventions. Given that, historically, smoking has been more prevalent among lesbian, bisexual, and queer (LBQ) women than other women, this study explores LBQ women’s perceptions and experiences of vaping. Methods Sixty LBQ women and some non-binary people (aged 18–72) participated in in-depth qualitative interviews between May…
Evidence to Act
Purpose There are inadequate resources available to support lesbian, gay, bi + , trans and gender diverse, intersex and queer (LGBTIQ) people experiencing family violence in Australia. Government funding agencies and mainstream family violence service providers regularly state that there is insufficient evidence to justify investment in more inclusive services. This article explores practitioner perceptions of such claims. Method 21 practitioners…

This study investigated how peer navigation might contribute to a socially supportive, health enabling environment in Victoria, Australia. We used semi-structured interviews with 30 program staff, management, peer workers and clinician stakeholders. Our analyses considered the interplay between the program, users, HIV-related stigma and discrimination and the hea…
Exploring the adoption and expression of subcultural identities among gay, bisexual, and queer-identifying men in Australia
Gay, bisexual, and queer-identifying (GBQ) communities tend to comprise various subcultural identity groups based around shared practices and intersectional identities, but little research has sought to qualitatively understand how these identities are situated within communities and enacted in everyday life. Further understanding subcultural identities is important as they reflect the diversity of GBQ men and potential health risks/differences b…

Hi-fun among men who have sex with men in Bangkok
The use of specific drugs (e.g. methamphetamine, GHB/GBL and other stimulants) to enhance sex among men who have sex with men (MSM), is the focus of global public health concern because of links to social harms, poor mental and sexual health. Often called ‘chemsex’ in Western settings or ‘ hi-fun ’ in Southeast Asia, this type of sexualised drug use is increasingly visible in Thailand where the unique sociocultural and legislative environments sh…
Family Violence Within LGBTQ Communities in Australia
Background While prior research has documented intimate partner violence (IPV) and family of origin violence (FOV) experienced by LGBTQ communities at rates at least comparable to heterosexual and/or cisgender populations, little knowledge exists of how this experience occurs within intersections of these communities and who is most at risk. Methods This study utilised data from a from a large nationwide Australian survey of the health and wellbe…

Characterizing Socioecological Markers of Differentiated HIV Risk Among Men Who Have Sex with Men in Indonesia
HIV prevention programs typically focus on changing individuals' risk behaviors, often without considering the socioecological factors that can moderate this risk. We characterized HIV risk among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Indonesia (n = 1314) using latent class analysis and used multinomial logistic regression to identify latent class relationships with demographics, social/sexual networks, and community-level socioecological indicators …
An object-oriented analysis of social apps, syringes and ARTs within gay Taiwanese men’s chemsex practices
Critical drug studies explore the discursive and material dimensions of sexualised drug use to overcome individualised and often pathologising notions such as risk, safety, responsibility and pleasure. This article uses an object-oriented approach-following the use and flow of social apps, syringes and antiretroviral therapy (ART)-to analyse gay and bisexual Taiwanese men's drug practices. Interview data from fourteen men are used to articulate h…
