Alcohol-related sexual consequences are common in college students. A newly developed 41-item Alcohol-Related Sexual Consequences Scale has recently been evaluated in at-risk young adults in the U.S. The current study aims to validate the Scale in Swedish college students.
The occurrence of alcohol-related sexual consequences was assessed by birth gender, relationship status, gender identity/sexual orientation, and age. Negative binomial regression was used to assess convergent and divergent validity.
On average, 5.4 ( 5.1) alcohol-related sexual consequences were experienced past three months. Greater scores were reported in singles, LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning), and younger students. All sex-related covariates showed robust associations with alcohol-related sexual consequences while most alcohol-related covariates were not associated (e.g., convergent validity). All alcohol-related covariates showed robust associations with alcohol consequences while most sex-related covariates were not associated (e.g., divergent validity). In the full model predicting alcohol-related sexual consequences, being a woman, single, and younger were identified as independent predictors.
This newly developed scale assessing alcohol-related sexual consequences could be used in both epidemiological studies and intervention studies targeting at-risk students.
在大学生中，与酒精相关的性行为后果很常见。一种新开发的 41 项酒精相关性行为后果量表最近在美国对高危青年进行了评估。本研究旨在验证该量表在瑞典大学生中的适用性。
通过出生性别、关系状况、性别认同/性取向和年龄评估与酒精相关的性行为后果的发生。使用负二项式回归评估聚合和发散效度。
平均而言，过去三个月内经历了 5.4（5.1）次与酒精相关的性行为后果。单身、LGBTQ（女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别、酷儿/疑问）和年轻学生报告的分数更高。所有与性相关的协变量与与酒精相关的性行为后果均显示出显著关联，而大多数与酒精相关的协变量则无关联（例如，聚合效度）。所有与酒精相关的协变量与酒精后果均显示出显著关联，而大多数与性相关的协变量则无关联（例如，发散效度）。在预测与酒精相关的性行为后果的全模型中，女性、单身和年轻被确定为独立预测因素。
这种新开发的评估与酒精相关的性行为后果的量表可用于针对高危学生的流行病学研究和干预研究。
