Atlantic Canadian High School Students and Alcohol-Related Harms: Are There Differences Across Sex, Sexual Orientation and Psychosocial Indicators?
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Alcohol is responsible for the greatest burden of acute harms in youth aged 15-24, with one fifth reporting at least one form of harm (physical, social, legal) in the past 12 months. This study sought to determine which factors impact Atlantic Canadian high school students’ experiences with alcohol-related harms, placing an emphasis on sexual orientation, using data from the 2012 Atlantic Student Drug Use Survey. Using unadjusted logistic regression, we determined that mostly heterosexual females were 1.39 (95% CI 1.04-1.86), and bisexual females were 1.52 (95% CI 1.001-2.32) times more likely to experience any harm than heterosexual females. These associations disappeared after adjustment for a set of covariates. Other factors that significantly increased the odds of experiencing any alcohol-related harms in both males and females included cannabis use, low parental connectedness and high sensation seeking tendencies. Our study findings have the potential to inform future harm reduction policies and strategies.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
