The purpose of the current study was to assess the role of gender and ethnicity in the relationship between alcohol use and risky sexual behavior.
Sexually active college students (n = 425) reported on alcohol expectancies, perceived risk of HIV, and drinking and sexual behavior in the context of a larger health behavior survey.
Approximately one-third of participants reported binge drinking 3 or more times in the past two weeks. African-American women reported less drinking and less positive alcohol expectancies than other women. Older men engaged more often than younger men in binge drinking and reported more sexual partners in the past year. Younger age and greater perceived risk for HIV were positively associated with condom use for both women and men.
Collectively, these findings suggest that alcohol abuse and HIV prevention efforts among young adults need to consider gender, ethnicity, and age.
本研究旨在评估性别和种族在饮酒与危险性行为关系中的作用。
在一项更大规模的健康行为调查中，性活跃的大学生（n = 425）报告了饮酒预期、感知到的感染艾滋病毒风险以及饮酒和性行为情况。
约三分之一的参与者报告在过去两周内有3次或更多次狂饮。非裔美国女性报告的饮酒量和积极的饮酒预期比其他女性少。年长男性比年轻男性更常狂饮，且在过去一年中报告有更多性伴侣。年轻以及更高的艾滋病毒感染感知风险与男女使用避孕套均呈正相关。
总体而言，这些发现表明，针对年轻人的酒精滥用和艾滋病毒预防工作需要考虑性别、种族和年龄。
