To assess whether adolescent marijuana exposure represents a modifiable predictor of risk of sexually transmitted infections as adults, we used nationally representative, longitudinal data from Waves I (1994-1995, adolescence) and III (2001-2002, adulthood) of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (N = 10,738) to examine racial and gender differences in associations between adolescent marijuana use, current use, and peer use and adulthood multiple partnerships, self-reported sexually transmitted infections, and biologically confirmed sexually transmitted infections. The risk of sexually transmitted infections as adults was predicted by adolescent marijuana use in all groups except Black women and by peer marijuana use among Black men. Adolescents who use or have friends who use marijuana constitute priority populations for sexually transmitted infection prevention.
为了评估青少年吸食大麻是否代表可改变的成人期性传播感染风险预测因子，我们使用了全国代表性的青少年健康纵向研究（National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health，NLAHS）第一波（1994-1995 年，青春期）和第三波（2001-2002 年，成年期）的纵向数据，来检验青少年大麻使用、当前使用和同伴使用与成年期多重伴侣关系、自我报告的性传播感染以及生物学证实的性传播感染之间关联的种族和性别差异。青少年吸食大麻在除了黑人女性以外的所有群体中，以及黑人男性的同伴吸食大麻与成年期性传播感染风险相关，而青少年使用大麻或有使用大麻的朋友与性传播感染预防的重点人群相关。
