Alcohol consumption has been linked to a variety of sexual risk behaviors. However, much research addresses this connection among college students, ignoring other social contexts in which this association may be prevalent, such as club settings.
As such, this study assessed patterns of drinking and sexual activity among young adults who frequent nightclubs.
Using time-space sampling, we surveyed 308 young adults (ages 18-29) in New York City clubs.
Participants reported binge drinking on 52% of drinking days. Roughly, 62% reported recent sex under the influence, and 29% of them reported being less safe in sexual situations as a result of their drinking. Men reported more days of drinking and binge drinking than women, and were more likely to report recent sex under the influence. Younger participants were more likely to report being less safe sexually while intoxicated. Recent binge drinking was associated with sex after drinking.
These data suggest the need for targeted intervention and prevention efforts at nightclubs.
饮酒与各种性行为风险因素有关。然而，许多研究都集中在大学生群体中探讨这种联系，而忽略了在其他社交环境中这种关联可能更为普遍的情况，如夜店环境。
因此，本研究评估了常去夜店的年轻成年人的饮酒和性行为模式。
采用时空抽样法，我们对纽约市夜店中的 308 名年龄在 18-29 岁的年轻人进行了调查。
参与者报告称在 52%的饮酒日有狂饮行为。大约 62%的人报告称最近在醉酒状态下发生过性行为，其中 29%的人表示由于饮酒，他们在性行为中感到更不安全。男性报告的饮酒日和狂饮日多于女性，并且更有可能报告最近在醉酒状态下发生性行为。年龄较小的参与者在醉酒时发生性行为感到更不安全的可能性更大。最近的狂饮与饮酒后的性行为有关。
这些数据表明，夜店需要有针对性的干预和预防措施。
