Young adults are at high risk for acquiring STDs/HIV due primarily to multiple sex partners, unprotected sex, and substance use combined with sexual activity. Contranormative settings--such as the annual spring break vacation--provide ideal conditions for the potentially lethal interaction between alcohol, drugs, and sexual risk-taking. As a steadily growing form of youth travel and characterized by binge drinking, illicit drug use, and unsafe sexual practices, spring break has become a North American institution involving large numbers of travellers. In this study, the theory of interpersonal behaviour was used to explain college students' health-risk behaviours in the context of spring break and pre- and post-spring break surveys were used to examine casual sex and condom use behaviours. Multivariate analyses revealed peer influences, prior experiences with casual sex, alcohol consumption prior to sex, and impulsivity to be significant predictors of casual sex, while impulsivity and condom availability were significant predictors of students' use of condoms during casual sex.
年轻人感染性传播疾病/艾滋病毒的风险很高，主要原因是多性伴、无保护性行为以及物质使用与性活动相结合。反规范环境——比如每年的春假——为酒精、毒品和性冒险之间潜在的致命相互作用提供了理想条件。作为一种不断发展的青年旅行形式，春假的特点是狂饮、使用非法药物和不安全的性行为，已成为涉及大量旅行者的北美习俗。在本研究中，人际行为理论被用于解释大学生在春假背景下的健康风险行为，并通过春假前和春假后的调查来研究随意性行为和避孕套使用行为。多变量分析显示，同伴影响、既往随意性行为经历、性行为前饮酒以及冲动性是随意性行为的重要预测因素，而冲动性和避孕套可得性是学生在随意性行为中使用避孕套的重要预测因素。
