Research shows that the LGBTQI+ community experiences health inequalities and disproportionate harms around substance use (alcohol, drugs, smoking).

This resource is a brief guide for any substance use organisation or service on how to ensure that you are as LGBTQI+ inclusive as possible.

This guidance and the tips for LGBTQI+ inclusive substance use services has been produced with reference to research that has underpinned the work of the Glasgow LGBTQI Substance Use Partnership, as well as feedback from the LGBTQI+ community garnered from the 2021 LGBTQI Substance Use Community Champions project.
