阿拉伯茶(一种具有安非他明性质的常绿植物)和酒精在埃塞俄比亚的年轻人中广泛消费。然而，他们与危险的性行为的关系并没有得到很好的描述。这项研究是为了描述埃塞俄比亚青年的危险性行为(无保护措施的性行为和早期性活动)的程度及其与阿拉伯茶和饮酒的关系。对20,434名15至24岁的在校和校外青年进行了全国随机抽样，并就他们的性行为和药物使用情况进行了采访。超过20%的校外青年在面谈前的12个月期间有过无保护措施的性行为，而在校青年的这一比例为1.4%。每天摄入阿拉伯茶也与无保护措施的性行为有关：调整后的OR(95%CI)=2.26(1.92，2.67)。酒精摄入量与无保护措施的性行为之间存在显著的线性关联，每天饮酒的人与不饮酒的人相比，患病几率增加了三倍。OR(95%CI)=3.05(2.38，3.91)。使用除阿拉伯茶以外的物质与无保护措施的性行为无关，但与开始性行为有关：adj。OR(95%CI)=2.54(1.84，3.51)。相当大比例的校外青年从事危险的性行为。使用阿拉伯茶、酒精和其他物质与埃塞俄比亚青年的危险性行为有显著和独立的联系。
Khat (an evergreen plant with amphetamine-like properties) and alcohol are widely consumed among the youth of Ethiopia. However, their relationship to risky sexual behaviour is not well described. This study was conducted to describe the magnitude of risky sexual behaviour (unprotected sex and early initiation of sexual activity) and its association with Khat and alcohol consumption in Ethiopian youths. A probabilistic national sample of 20,434 in-school and out-of-school youths aged between 15 and 24 years of age was selected and interviewed regarding their sexual behavior and substance use. Over 20% of out-of-school youth had unprotected sex during the 12-month period prior to interview compared to 1.4% of in-school youth. Daily Khat intake was also associated with unprotected sex: adjusted OR (95% CI) = 2.26 (1.92, 2.67). There was a significant and linear association between alcohol intake and unprotected sex, with those using alcohol daily having a three fold increased odds compared to those not using it: adj. OR (95% CI) = 3.05 (2.38, 3.91). Use of substances other than Khat was not associated with unprotected sex, but was associated with initiation of sexual activity: adj. OR (95% CI) = 2.54 (1.84, 3.51). A substantial proportion of out-of-school youth engage in risky sex. The use of Khat and alcohol and other substances is significantly and independently associated with risky sexual behaviour among Ethiopian youths.
