Widening the Net: Engaging Sexual and Gender Minority Youth in Addiction Treatment
Recorded: Thursday, March 31, 2022 - Sunday, April 3, 2022
On-Demand Session
Overview
This 1-hour, on-demand session from the ASAM 53rd Annual Conference describes how to create a care environment that is affirming to sexual and gender minority youth, emphasizing the importance of the physical space, the language chosen, the forms distributed, and the staff training provided.
Sexual and gender minority (SGM) youth are at increased risk of substance use and misuse compared to their heterosexual and cisgender peers. The purpose of this session is to explore best practices for providing substance use care that is affirming and sensitive to the needs of SGM youth. Additionally, this session offers a review of the interrelation between substance use and high risk sexual behavior in youth. Participants will come away from this session with greater comfort engaging SGM youth in substance use treatment, integrating substance use treatment and gender-affirming care, and implementing harm reduction strategies specific to the needs of SGM youth, including STI screening, initiation and monitoring of PrEP, and office-based counseling.
The target audience for this Intermediate level session includes physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, other clinicians, researchers, residents, fellows, students, and counselors.
This session addresses the following ACGME Competencies: Patient Care and Procedural Skills, Medical Knowledge, Practice-based Learning and Improvement, Interpersonal and Communication Skills, Professionalism, System Based Practice.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion, learners will be able to:
- Describe the disproportionate effects of substance use on sexual and gender minority youth and factors that may contribute to this disparity, including minority stress and effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Discuss the relationship between substance use and high risk sexual behaviors and apply harm reduction strategies for youth engaging in high risk sexual behavior, including STI screening, PrEP initiation and office based counseling.

My name is Megana Dwarakanath, and I am a current second year fellow at UPMC in adolescent medicine. I completed my MD at Rutgers NJMS, residency in New Mexico at UNM, and received an M.Ed at HGSE through the Zuckerman Fellowship. I have been interested in SUD since medical school and particularly its intersection with social justice issues, though my first experience managing patients on suboxone was in my residency clinic--a unique medical home for young people who have left the juvenile justice system. That experience--caring for patients longitudinally, addressing their comprehensive needs, and witnessing them succeed was instrumental in inspiring me to continue this work long term.
