Risky business: advanced epidemiological and social network analysis of young people’s risky alcohol consumption, drug use and sexual behaviour.

越来越多的澳大利亚年轻人从事高风险的酗酒和吸毒以及性行为，并经历可预防的健康后果，如伤害、暴力和性传播感染。尽管越来越多的关注，我们缺乏了解为什么年轻人会冒险，哪些群体风险最大，以及不同的药物，背景和环境如何发挥作用。使用独特的数据集和新颖的分析策略，我将产生新的知识，为公共卫生应对提供信息。

Increasing numbers of young Australians engage in high-risk alcohol and drug use and sexual behaviour, and experience preventable health outcomes such as injuries, violence and sexually transmitted infections. Despite growing concern, we lack understanding about why young adults take risks, which groups are most at risk, and how different drugs, contexts and settings contribute. Using unique datasets and novel analytical strategies I will generate new knowledge to inform public health responses.
