Differences in impulsivity and sexual risk behavior among inner-city crack/cocaine users and heroin users

Lejuez, C.W., Bornovalova, Marina A., Daughters, Stacey B., Curtin, John J.·2005·Drug and Alcohol Dependence

Abstract

The current study utilized a sample of 123 inner-city drug users in residential treatment, comparing sexual risk behavior (SRB) across primary users of (a) heroin and not crack/cocaine, (b) crack/cocaine and not heroin, and (c) both heroin and crack/cocaine. Additional analyses also examined impulsivity as a mediator of drug choice and SRB. Results indicated that SRB was higher in primary crack/cocaine users than in primary heroin users, with those using both drugs evidencing intermediate levels of SRB. Beyond differences in SRB, a similar pattern across drugs was found for impulsivity. Finally, impulsivity mediated the relationship between drug choice and SRB. Although further research is necessary to establish causal relationships, these results support a relationship between SBR and crack/cocaine, and suggest that disinhibition processes including impulsivity may underlie this relationship.

  • BART balloon pumping is positively associated with risky sexual behavior, smoking, and a composite of substance use, sexual behavior, delinquency, and health domains.

    “Previous studies found that balloon pumping on the BART was positively associated with risky sexual behavior (Lejuez et al. 2005), smoking (Lejuez et al. 2003), and a composite of substance use, sexual behavior, delinquency, and health domains (Lejuez et al. 2007).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
