Of these 21, only one study targeted young adults and only one study had smoking prevention as an objective.
The search identified 24 records, of which 21 were included 11 from peer reviewed sources and 10 from the grey literature. All English articles published or written between January 2000 and February 2016 were extracted. The purpose of the scoping review was to assess the current state of smoking prevention and cessation intervention research for LGBTQ + youth and young adults, identify and describe these interventions and their effectiveness, and identify gaps in both practice and research.Ī search for published literature was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, PsychInfo, and LGBT Life, as well as an in-depth search of the grey literature. Smoking prevalence among LGBTQ + youth and young adults is alarmingly high compared to their non-LGBTQ + peers.
