在本文中，我们在关键事件分析中使用定性比较分析（QCA）来确定在什么条件下酒精是导致无保护性行为的必要因素。这篇论文是基于对孟买三个典型低收入社区的84名年龄在18 = 29岁的男性进行的一系列深入访谈，这些男性报告在采访前30天内饮酒并与至少一名非配偶伴侣发生过一次或多次性行为。访谈包括关键事件的叙述，定义为最近（过去30-60天）涉及饮酒或不饮酒的性行为的事件。本文确定了与酒精、性行为和避孕套使用相关的主题，使用QCA来识别和解释导致保护性行为和无保护性行为的配置，并解释了差异。分析表明，酒精本身不足以解释涉及无保护性行为的任何病例，但酒精与伴侣类型和环境因素相结合，确实解释了已婚和未婚男子亚群的无保护性行为。
In this paper we use Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) in critical event analysis to identify under what conditions alcohol is necessary in contributing to unprotected sex. The paper is based on a set of in-depth interviews with 84 men aged 18 = 29 from three typical low income communities in Mumbai who reported using alcohol and having sex with at least one nonspousal partner once or more in the 30 days prior to the interview. The interviews included narratives of critical events defined as recent (past 30–60 day) events involving sexual behavior with or without alcohol. The paper identifies themes related to alcohol, sexuality and condom use, uses QCA to identify and explain configurations leading to protected and unprotected sex, and explains the differences. The analysis shows that alcohol alone is not sufficient to explain any cases involving unprotected sex but alcohol in combination with partner type and contextual factors does explain unprotected sex for subsets of married and unmarried men.
