Sexuality and gender diverse (LGBTQ+) people are a priority for cancer control due to differing experience of risk factors for cancer and participation in cancer screening services compared to cisgender and heterosexual people. Alcohol use among LGBTQ+ people is typically higher compared to the general population, but awareness of alcohol-related cancer risk in the LGBTQ+ community is unclear and other alcohol-related behaviours/beliefs (e.g., perceived health risks) have also been under-researched in this community.
This technical report details a study conducted in collaboration with ACON and Cancer Institute NSW to examine a range of alcohol-related behaviours and beliefs among LGBTQ+ adults in NSW, including alcohol use patterns, perceived health risks of alcohol use, awareness of alcohol-related cancer risk, and alcohol-related help-seeking behaviours.
