“…In another study, high-risk African American adolescents expected more sexual enhancement from marijuana relative to alcohol use and stronger marijuana enhancement expectancies were associated with more frequent use in sexual situations (Kingree & Thompson, 2007). These findings were supported and extended in yet another study among high-risk adolescents, whereby stronger sex-related marijuana enhancement expectancies predicted greater frequency marijuana use in sexual situations, and event-level analyses revealed that marijuana use predicted lack of condom use (Hendershot, Magnan, & Bryan, 2010). Thus, marijuana and alcohol use typologies may be associated with unique sexual risk outcomes according to sex-related expectancies.…”

“…Thus, marijuana and alcohol use typologies may be associated with unique sexual risk outcomes according to sex-related expectancies. In particular, use of alcohol for social enhancement may be associated with a greater number of partners (Cooper, 2002;Khan et al, 2012;Seth et al, 2011) and use of marijuana for sexual enhancement may be associated with lack of condom use (Hendershot et al, 2010;Kingree, Braithwaite, & Woodring, 2000).…”

African American female adolescents have a disproportionate risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and other adverse sexual health outcomes. Both alcohol and marijuana use have been shown to predict sexual risk among young African American women. However, no studies have attempted to differentiate alcohol and marijuana typologies use as predictors of sexual risk outcomes exclusively among adolescents who use these substances. This study compared recent alcohol and/or marijuana use as predictors of sexual risk outcomes over 18 months among 182 African American female adolescents. African American females (14-20 years) completed interviews at baseline, 6-, 12-, and 18-months. At each assessment, pregnancy testing was conducted and self-collected vaginal swab specimens were assayed for Trichomonas vaginalis, Chlamydia trachomatis, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae using DNA amplification. Logistic subject-specific random-intercept models compared sexual risk outcomes during follow-up among adolescents who reported recent use of alcohol only (AO), marijuana only (MO) or both substances (A + M) at the baseline assessment. Relative to baseline AO use, baseline MO use predicted condom non-use at last sex. Relative to AO use, A + M use predicted pregnancy. Relative to MO use, A + M use predicted pregnancy and acquisition of T. vaginalis and any STI. The results suggest that African American female adolescents who use A + M may represent a priority population for STI, HIV, and pregnancy prevention efforts.

“…50,51 Moreover, a critical intervention point may be attitudes, self-efficacy, and expectancies about future behavior, as recent studies have suggested that cognitive processes mediate marijuana use and risky sexual behavior among adolescent offenders. 52 The study findings suggest that it would be advisable to extend these interventions to address methamphetamine use, given its association with high-risk sexual behaviors in this sample. Additionally, the disproportionate number of juvenile offenders who are ethnic minorities requires a sensitivity to and awareness of the need for programs that take into account the role of culture and ethnicity on assessment, intervention, and treatment in juvenile justice settings.…”

Juvenile detention settings provide an important venue for addressing the health-related needs of adolescent populations, who often have high rates of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and concomitant drug use. This study examines factors associated with methamphetamine use and risky sexual behaviors among 539 incarcerated female adolescents between ages 12-18 years with an STD diagnosis. Data were obtained from interviews with detainees receiving STD case management services within a California juvenile detention facility in January 2006-June 2007. High-risk behaviors characterized the sample, such as low use of condoms consistently (43.3%), prior STD infection (25%), pregnancy history (26%), arrest charge for prostitution or drug use (23%), and a history of prostitution (18%). Half of the sample reported weekly alcohol or drug use; most commonly used drugs were marijuana (37%), alcohol (21%), and methamphetamine (16%). In multivariate analysis, African Americans had a lower odds of methamphetamine use (odds ratio [OR]=.163) compared with whites. Detainees who reported inconsistent condom use had over twice the odds of methamphetamine use (OR=2.7) compared with consistent condom users. In addition, those who reported alcohol use had twice the odds of methamphetamine use (2.0). There was a significant interaction between Latina ethnicity and having an arrest charge for drugs or prostitution; Latinas who had this charge had over 11 times the odds of using methamphetamine compared with those with other arrest charges (OR=11.28). A better understanding of the relationship between drug use and sexual risk behaviors of STD-positive incarcerated female adolescents can inform the development of appropriate corrections and community-based interventions serving this segment of high-risk adolescents.

“…Similarly, substance use is often initiated during adolescence and peaks during emerging adulthood (Arnett, 2000(Arnett, , 2005Stone et al, 2012; Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration [SAMHSA], 2011). Alcohol and other drug use have been associated with SRBs in samples of young people at both the global level, perhaps refl ecting problem behavior theory (Donovan, 1996;Jessor, 1982) in which risk behaviors tend to cluster, and the event level (Bonar et al, in press;Brown and Vanable, 2007;Bryan et al, 2007Bryan et al, , 2012Ellickson et al, 2005;Hendershot et al, 2010;Kiene et al, 2009;Nkansah-Amankra et al, 2011), likely refl ecting contextual infl uences and acute intoxication that may affect decision making related to SRBs.…”

ABSTRACT. Objective:The purpose of this study was to evaluate associations between prescription drug misuse (PDM) and sexual risk behaviors (SRBs) among adolescents and emerging adults. Method: In a hospital emergency department, 2,127 sexually active 14-to 20-yearolds (61% female) reported on past-year alcohol use severity (using the Alcohol Use Disorders Identifi cation Test-consumption [AUDIT-C]), cannabis use, PDM (n = 422), and SRBs (inconsistent condom use, multiple partners, intercourse following alcohol/other drug use). Results: Bivariately, AUDIT-C score, cannabis use, and PDM of stimulants, opioids, and sedatives were positively associated with each SRB. Because many participants reported PDM for multiple drug classes (i.e., sedatives, stimulants, opioids), participants were categorized as (a) no PDM (n = 1,705), (b) PDM of one class (n = 251), (c) PDM of two classes (n = 90), or (d) PDM of three classes (n = 81). Three hierarchical logistic regression models evaluated the associations of number of classes of PDM with SRBs separately, after accounting for demographics (age, gender, race), AUDIT-C score, and cannabis use. Adding PDM statistically improved each model beyond what was accounted for by demographics, alcohol, and cannabis use. For inconsistent condom use and substance use before sex, PDM of one, two, or three classes was signifi cantly associated with increased odds of these SRBs. PDM of two or three classes was associated with increased odds of reporting multiple partners. Conclusions: Findings suggest that PDM, especially poly-PDM, may be a pertinent risk factor for SRBs among youth. Event-based research could further evaluate how PDM, as well as other substance use, is related to SRBs at the event level in order to inform interventions. (J. Stud.
