Many studies have shown that LGBTQ+ women and nonbinary people are at higher risk than cisgender heterosexual women of experiencing harm from alcohol.

Glasgow Caledonian Research Centre are conducting an online survey to learn about what types of messages and resources might be helpful for LGBTQ+ women and nonbinary people who want to reduce the amount they drink or become more curious about when, why, and where they drink.
