This cross-sectional study explored associations among (a) age of sexual debut; (b) drug abuse; and (c) sexual risk behaviors among an urban community-based sample of 158 predominantly immigrant, Latina adults. Time in the USA and having a mother who used drugs during the participants' childhood or adolescence were significantly related to age of sexual debut. In turn, younger ages of sexual debut were associated with drug abuse and more sexual risk behaviors (greater number of sexual partners, more frequent alcohol and drug use before or during sex, greater levels of intoxication from alcohol or drugs during sex). Implications for HIV/AIDS and drug abuse clinical services and future research with US Latina populations are discussed.
这项横断面研究探讨了(a)首次性行为的年龄;(b)药物滥用;以及(c)在一个以城市社区为基础的样本中,158名主要为移民的拉丁裔成年人的性风险行为之间的关联。在美国的居住时间以及参与者在童年或青少年时期有一位吸毒的母亲与首次性行为的年龄显著相关。反过来,较早的首次性行为年龄与药物滥用以及更多的性风险行为相关(性伴侣数量更多、在性行为前或性行为期间更频繁地饮酒和吸毒、性行为期间因酒精或药物导致的更高程度的醉酒)。文中讨论了对美国拉丁裔人群的艾滋病毒/艾滋病和药物滥用临床服务以及未来研究的启示。
