Objective
We used propensity score (PS) weighting methods to address two methodological questions: (1) Do disparities between sexual minority women (SMW) and heterosexual women persist when differences in risk and protective factors are similarly distributed between groups, and (2) Does accounting for SMW-specific resiliency factors impact differences between non-probability samples of SMW?
Findings/Key points
Sexual minority women (SMW) evidence more substance use than heterosexual women. Disparities in substance use were generally evident across nonprobability samples. Propensity score methods reduced disparities in some, but not all, comparisons.
Design/methods
Four samples from studies with different sampling methods
