Diamond and Alley (2022) explain that social safety refers to our human needs for "reliable social connection, inclusion, and protection."
Frost et al. (2023) compiled evidence and explained how prejudiced events, which demonstrate a lack of social safety, lead to toxic, measurable stress described by the minority stress model. Chronic stress causes adverse health outcomes, so substance use becomes a logical, if maladaptive, way to calm anxiety, numb pain, and escape hostile environments.
