We use data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth to estimate changes in binge drinking, marijuana use, and cigarette smoking surrounding young adults' first experiences of cohabitation and marriage. Both marriage and cohabitation are accompanied by decreases in some risk behaviors, but reductions surrounding marriage are larger and most consistent, particularly for men. Binge drinking and marijuana use respond to these events, especially marriage, but smoking does not.
我们利用全国青年纵向调查的数据,来估计围绕年轻人首次同居和结婚经历的酗酒、吸食大麻和吸烟行为的变化。婚姻和同居都会伴随着某些风险行为的减少,但婚姻带来的行为减少幅度更大且最为一致,尤其是对男性而言。酗酒和吸食大麻行为会对这些事件,尤其是婚姻做出反应,但吸烟行为则不然。
