Cannabis use is associated with risky sexual behavior (RSB) and sex-related negative health consequences. This investigation examined the role of inhibitory control and episodic memory in predicting RSB and sex-related negative consequences among current cannabis users. Findings indicated that the relationships among cannabis, neurocognition, and sexual-risk varied according to the dimension of neurocognition and the parameter of RSB in question. Specifically, more risk-taking was associated with more RSB. Furthermore, amount of recent cannabis use was associated with more RSB and sex-related negative consequences, but only among those with worse performances on a measure of decision-making and of risk-taking. Contrary to hypotheses, worse episodic memory also significantly predicted higher overall sexual-risk and decreased safe-sex practices. Results indicate that worse neurocognitive performance in the areas of risk-taking, decision-making, and episodic memory may influence the degree to which cannabis users engage in RSB and experience negative health consequences as a result.

大麻的使用与危险的性行为（RSB）和与性相关的负面健康后果有关。本研究考察了抑制控制和情景记忆在预测当前大麻使用者的 RSB 和与性相关的负面后果中的作用。研究结果表明，大麻、神经认知和性风险之间的关系因神经认知的维度和所讨论的 RSB 参数而异。具体来说，更多的冒险行为与更多的 RSB 有关。此外，最近大麻的使用量与更多的 RSB 和与性相关的负面后果有关，但仅在那些在决策和冒险行为测量方面表现较差的人中。与假设相反，情景记忆较差也显著预测更高的总体性风险和减少安全性行为。结果表明，在冒险、决策和情景记忆方面较差的神经认知表现可能会影响大麻使用者从事 RSB 的程度以及由此产生的负面健康后果。（JINS，2012，18，1-7）。
