目的。研究年轻人样本中饮酒与性活动之间的关系。设计。数据是作为 1990 年多阶段地区家庭概率样本调查的一部分收集的。设置。家庭访谈由经验丰富的访谈员进行。 主题。总共联系了 1006 名居住在美国本土的 18 至 30 岁人士。收集了有关饮酒和性行为的详细信息。为了尽量减少受访者不愿意回答有关性行为的问题，这些问题包含在自填问卷中。结果。在人口层面，每次喝五杯或更多酒的男性在过去一年中拥有多个性伴侣的可能性更大：在过去一年至少一次喝五杯或更多酒的受访者中使用安全套的可能性较小。在多变量分析中，新伴侣活动中的饮酒量与新伴侣使用安全套无关。当消除其他人口和心理社会因素的影响时，最严重饮酒事件期间消耗的饮料数量是女性发生性行为的重要预测因素，但对于男性则不然。结论。对于年轻人来说，性行为中饮酒并不一定会直接导致对安全性行为的判断失误。酒精只是在确定特定性接触风险方面发挥重要作用的众多因素之一。
Purpose. To examine the relationship between alcohol use and sexual activity in a sample of young adults.Design. Data were collected as part of a 1990 survey of a multistage area household probability sample.Setting. In-home interviews were conducted by experienced interviewers.Subjects. In total, 1006 persons from 18 to 30 years of age living in the contiguous United States were contacted.Measures. Detailed information was collected on alcohol use and sexual behavior. To minimize the reluctance of respondents to answer queries on sexual behavior, those questions were contained in a self-administered questionnaire.Results. At the population level, having had multiple sexual partners in the past year was more likely among men who consumed five or more drinks per sitting: Condom use was less likely among respondents who had consumed five or more drinks on at least one occasion in the past year. In multivariate analyses, the amount of alcohol consumed at the new partner event was not associated with condom use with a new partner. When the effects of other demographic and psychosocial factors were removed, the number of drinks consumed during the heaviest drinking event was a significant predictor of engaging in sex for women but not for men.Conclusion. lit young adults, alcohol use with sex does not necessarily lead directly to lapses in judgment about safe sexual practices. Alcohol is but one of a number of factors that play an important role in determining the riskiness of a particular sexual encounter.
