BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: It is unknown whether impulsivity is associated with risky sexual behavior in dually diagnosed clients.
Impulsivity in 51 sexually-active, dually diagnosed clients was assessed by the Barrett Impulsivity Scale, Delayed Discounting Questionnaire, and Wisconsin Card-Sorting Task, and a path analysis of relationship to self-reported risk behaviors was conducted.
Recent cocaine use was correlated with risky sexual behaviors and a preference for immediate over larger, delayed rewards trended towards a correlation.
The association between impulsivity and risky sexual behavior among substance users appears to extend to the dually diagnosed. Implications for HIV prevention are discussed.
背景/目的:双重诊断患者的冲动是否与危险性行为相关尚不清楚。
通过 Barrett 冲动量表、延迟折扣问卷和威斯康星卡片分类任务评估了 51 名活跃的双重诊断患者的冲动性,并对自我报告的风险行为的关系进行了路径分析。
近期可卡因的使用与危险性行为相关,对即时奖励而非更大、延迟奖励的偏好呈相关性趋势。
冲动与物质使用者的危险性行为之间的关联似乎也适用于双重诊断患者。讨论了对 HIV 预防的影响。
