Summary: | Collegiate recovery communities (CRCs) provide recovery support to students as they navigate their college experience. Because lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals use and abuse substances at higher rates than their heterosexual peers, engaging this population in CRC services could be vital for sustained recovery and degree completion. The current research surveyed CRC advisors/directors across the United States to examine how they attract and engage sexual minority students. Results indicate that LGBT students are engaging in CRCs but targeted recruitment and population-specific programming are limited. Suggestions for further research are discussed. |
