The goals of this study were to examine the relationship between age at first drink and age at first sex among an emergency department sample of Black, Hispanic, and White adolescents (N = 1,1110) and to assess two sexual behavior-related consequences of underage drinking. The authors used multivariable linear regression to analyze data from a self-reported survey. Age at first sex decreased linearly with decreasing age at first drink (p < .001) for all adolescents in the sample. In analyses stratified by race, significant positive trends between age at first drink and age at first sex were observed for all race and ethnic subgroups, although the relationship between age at first drink and age at first sex was not as strong for Black males and females as their White counterparts, respectively. Compared to White males, Black males were less likely to report having had sex without using a condom or birth control after drinking in the past month and during their lifetimes.
本研究的目的是在一个由黑人、西班牙裔和白人青少年组成的急诊科样本（N = 1110）中，考察首次饮酒年龄与首次性行为年龄之间的关系，并评估未成年饮酒与性行为相关的两种后果。作者使用多变量线性回归分析来自一份自填式调查问卷的数据。对于样本中的所有青少年，首次性行为年龄随着首次饮酒年龄的降低而呈线性下降（p < .001）。在按种族分层的分析中，所有种族和族裔亚组的首次饮酒年龄与首次性行为年龄之间均观察到显著的正相关趋势，尽管黑人男性和女性的首次饮酒年龄与首次性行为年龄之间的关系分别不如白人男性和女性那样强烈。与白人男性相比，黑人男性在过去一个月以及一生中饮酒后报告未使用避孕套或节育措施进行性行为的可能性更低。
