The current study is aimed to evaluate college student residence as a unique risk factor for a range of negative health behaviors.
We examined data from 63,555 students (66% females) from 157 campuses who completed the National College Health Assessment Survey in Spring 2011.
Participants answered questions about the frequency of recent use of alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, and illicit drugs, as well as sexual risk behavior in the last 30 days. Sexual risk behaviors were operationalized as having unprotected vaginal sex (yes/no) and the number of sexual partners.
Logistic regression analyses revealed that living off-campus is a unique predictor of alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, and illicit drug use, as well as engaging in unprotected sex and a greater number of sexual partners (all ps <. 01).
Students living off-campus exhibit more substance use and sexual risk behaviors than students living on-campus, independent of gender, age, or race.
本研究旨在评估大学生校外居住情况作为一系列负面健康行为的独特风险因素。
我们分析了来自157所校园的63555名学生(66%为女性)的数据,这些学生在2011年春季完成了全国大学生健康评估调查。
参与者回答了关于近期饮酒、吸烟、吸食大麻和非法药物使用频率的问题,以及过去30天内的性风险行为。性风险行为被定义为有无保护的阴道性行为(是/否)以及性伴侣数量。
逻辑回归分析显示,校外居住是饮酒、吸烟、吸食大麻和非法药物使用的独特预测因素,也是无保护性行为和性伴侣数量较多的独特预测因素(所有p值<.01)。
校外居住的学生比校内居住的学生表现出更多的物质使用和性风险行为,与性别、年龄或种族无关。
