“…In the United States, alcohol is the most commonly used substance among adults between the ages of 18 and 24 (Brown et al, 2016). The risk for experiencing negative sex-related consequences such as contracting HIV/AIDS and other STIs, and unplanned pregnancies within this age cohort are heightened (Cottonham et al, 2018;Painter et al, 2012).…”

The purpose of this study is to explore the factors that youth identify as contributing to alcohol consumption, and more specifically its relation to risky sexual behaviour among youth. We employed an exploratory qualitative method using focus group discussions with 34 young people between the ages of 18-25-years-old in low socio-economic status communities in the Western Cape province of South Africa. Data were analyzed thematically utilizing Braun and Clarke's ( 2006) six-step thematic analysis process. We identified two thematic domains pertaining to alcohol consumption and risky sexual behaviour, namely individual and social factors, each comprising three themes. The individual factors thematic domain comprises intrapersonal influences, employment and educational attainment; while the social factors thematic domain includes interpersonal influences, social influences, and hope for the future. Youth living in low socio-economic status communities were thought to be at greater risk of alcohol misuse and subsequent risky behaviour, given the political and social history of marginalisation, systematic oppression, and social inequality. To address alcohol use and risky sexual behavior among youth, we recommend interventions with adolescents, parents or guardians, and the community. More specifically, interventions aimed at adolescents should focus on the transition to young adulthood. Interventions with parents should focus on their role in modelling and potentially regulating alcohol consumption. Finally, community interventions should centre on drinking behaviors, levels of drinking, what constitutes harmful drinking, and how to identify when treatment and recovery support is likely to be required.

“…A woman consuming excessive amount of alcohol may forget to take the pill or use condom at that day. Previous studies in Britain and United States of America [31,42] have demonstrated that women having drinking habit are usually engaged in risky sexual behaviors that expose to unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted infection. A systematic review by Terplan et al [43] has also indicated that women with substance use disorders including alcohol used contraception less often than non-substance-users.…”

“…The SRS scores for the four subscales in that study demonstrated high internal consistency (α = .78 to .88) and reasonable test–retest reliability ( r = .70 to .90; Turchik & Garske, 2009). SRS scores have demonstrated adequate internal consistency in a sample of Black female college students (α = .74; Cottonham et al, 2018). Cronbach’s alphas for the four subscales in the current study ranged from .75 to .97.…”

Using the lifespan biopsychosocial model of cumulative vulnerability and minority health as a theroretical lens, the present study proposed two models to test the relationships among racial discrimination, cognitive–emotional factors, and risky sexual behaviors in a sample of 302 Black college students in the United States. Our models provided support for some of the hypothesized direct and indirect pathways. As expected, overt racial discrimination and subtle racial discrimination (i.e., racial microaggression) were both positively related to cognitive–emotional factors (i.e., anxiety, depression, hopelessness, and hostility). Racial microaggressions were significantly positively related to risky sexual behaviors, but overt racial discrimination was not. Hostility was the only cognitive–emotional factor that facilitated an indirect, significant effect from racial microaggressions to risky sexual behaviors. Potential implications are discussed for practice, training programs, and future counseling psychology research with Black college students using the lifespan biopsychosocial model of cumulative vulnerability and minority health.
