在这项大规模的研究中，我们调查了青少年的性行为和饮酒风格之间的关系。性风险的三个方面包括：早期活动、无保护的性行为和与多个伴侣发生性关系。对不同的饮酒方式进行了区分，即饮酒和与醉酒有关的饮酒。学校健康促进研究的横断面学校调查数据是在2002-2003年间在芬兰收集的。全国样本包括八年级和九年级的青少年(n=100790)。平均年龄分别为14.8岁和15.8岁。采用Logistic回归分析方法，对青少年饮酒行为与性行为的关系进行了研究。性交的可能性随着饮酒频率的增加而增加。特别是，与醉酒有关的频繁饮酒增加了青少年发生性行为的可能性。对于经常饮酒直到醉酒的青少年来说，进行无保护措施的性行为和/或有多个性伴侣的可能性是许多倍。尤其是对女孩来说，每周与醉酒有关的饮酒与多个伴侣有关。绝大多数有性经验的未成年青少年饮酒，其中许多人喝得酩酊大醉。因此，在青春期早期将酒精教育和性教育(包括避孕咨询)结合起来可能是有效的。
In this large-scale study, we examined the relationship between an adolescent's sexual behavior and drinking style. Three aspects of sexual risk-taking were included: early activity, unprotected sexual intercourse and having sex with multiple partners. A distinction was made between different drinking styles, i.e. alcohol drinking and drunkenness-related drinking. Cross-sectional school survey data from the School Health Promotion Study was collected in Finland in 2002-2003. The national sample consisted of adolescents from the eighth and ninth grades (n = 100 790). The mean ages were 14.8 and 15.8 years. Using logistic regression analysis, we investigated the association between sexual behavior and drinking style among teenagers. The likelihood of engaging in sexual intercourse increased with the frequency of alcohol use. In particular, frequent drunkenness-related drinking increased the probability that the teenager had experienced sexual intercourse. The likelihood of engaging in unprotected sex and/or having multiple sexual partners was many-fold for adolescents drinking frequently until they were in a state of drunkenness. Particularly for girls, weekly drunkenness-related drinking was associated with multiple partners. The vast majority of sexually experienced under-aged adolescents drink alcohol, many of them until they are drunk. Thus, it could be effective to combine both alcohol education and sex education, including contraceptive counseling, in early adolescence.
