Relationship of alcohol use and risky sexual behavior: A review and analysis of findings
Abstract
In this review article, three methodologic approaches that have been used to examine the association between adolescents' alcohol use and their involvement in risky sex are discussed: global correlation studies, situational covariation studies, and event analyses. The strengths and limitations of each of these research methods are discussed. An extensive review of the most rigorous studies, which used event analysis to examine the alcohol-risky sex link, reveals positive results for first-time sexual events but equivocal findings for other types of sexual relationships. It is argued that differences in the types of sexual relationships studied have been confounded, limiting our ability to evaluate the extent to which alcohol has a causal influence on adolescents' condom use. It is suggested that future investigations consider the nature of the sexual relationship, and go beyond studying the length or status of the relationship to explore how variation in relationship dimensions such as trust and intimacy affect adolescents' sexual behavior.

“the nature of the relationship, its length and partners' experiences of trust and intimacy (Halpern-Felsher et al., 1996) and patterns of substance misuse (such as binge-drinking and marijuana use; Guo et al., 2002) may be more important in sexual risk behaviour than simply use of substances.”

“Although alcohol is widely assumed to cause such behaviors, a number of plausible alternative models exist that might account for their relationship (Cooper, 1992; Halpern-Felsher et al., 1996), only some of which posit a causal effect for alcohol.”

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.
