Abstract

A pilot, convenience sample survey in 2003 revealed increased risk for previous-year use of crystal methamphetamine (odds ratio [OR] = 26.28), ecstasy (OR = 3.29), and ketamine (OR = 8.26) among the 2.5% of 590 students, mostly girls, who self-identified as gay, lesbian, or bisexual. Targeted research and interventions may be warranted.
