“…According to the results of this study, the probability of CSP was high with drinking This result corresponds with the report that risky sexual behavior, such as premarital sex in 18-27-year-old singles is related to smoking [24]. Particularly in the case of premarital sex, the odds of being a ''current smoker'' increased by 4.6-fold [25].…”

This study assessed the risky sexual behavior of a group of adult men and women with sexual experience within the past 1 year who, while in a relationship with a stable partner, reported having sex with another person. The data were collected in 2003 using a nationally representative, multi-stage stratified probability sample (n = 1,271) of women and men in South Korea. Via hierarchical regression models, we assessed the gendered effects of socioeconomic characteristics, health behavior, sex behavior, and safe sex attitude factors. According to the results, for groups with concurrent sexual partnership experience, if the subject was a single person with smoking and drinking who had engaged in sex resulting in unwanted pregnancy, and anal sex initiated before the age of 17, the likelihood of engaging in concurrent sexual partnerships was statistically significant. Furthermore, our gender-elaborated analysis demonstrated that the majority of sexual risk was borne by women. When the partners of concurrent sexual partnerships are categorized by type, the key characteristic of a casual relationship or relationship with female sex workers is one-night-stand sex, accompanied by drinking. This study found that, for groups with concurrent sexual partnerships experience, there is a statistical association between health risky variables and risky sexual behavior. We should attempt to intervene in these concurrent sexual partnerships groups for the effective management of sexually transmitted infections.

“…Even when consumed or used in small amounts, alcohol/drugs can decrease the individual's ability to make a decision, and psychomotor coordination may be compromised (Buffum, 1988). Consequently, adolescents may engage in sexual risk behaviors as a result of being under the influence of these substances (Kaiser & Hays, 2005). According to the results of this study, overall attitudes toward condom use were positively correlated with actual condom use among Thai adolescents.…”

“…Regarding the association between alcohol/drug use and condom use behavior, Kaiser and Hays (2005) reported that prior alcohol/drug use was related to the initiation of sexual risk behaviors among adolescents. In addition, Gebhardt, Kuyper, and Greunsven (2003) reported that adolescents' attitudes toward condom use were associated with actual condom use during their sexual exposure.…”

This study examined the relationships among attitudes toward condom use, personal characteristics, condom use self-efficacy, and actual condom use among Thai adolescents. Predictors of condom use were also investigated. Bandura's self-efficacy model for safer sexual behavior provided the theoretical framework for this descriptive correlational design. The sample consisted of 270 Thai vocational students aged 18 to 21 years. Multiple regressions were used to estimate the correlates between the independent study variables and condom use among Thai adolescents. Additionally, two open-ended questions regarding attitudes toward premarital sex among males and females in Thai culture were asked. The results showed that self-reported history of alcohol/drug use, attitudes toward condom use, and condom use self-efficacy were related to actual condom use. Results that emerged from the open-ended questions suggested sexual double standards among Thais. This study contributes to strengthening Thai health policy and expanding nursing knowledge about condom use and prevention of sexually transmitted diseases.

“…The rate of pregnant adolescents smoking cigarettes during pregnancy varies according to geographic location, time period, and age of participants. For example, one study reported that 27 % of adolescent pregnant females between the ages of 15 and 18 smoked during pregnancy [11], whereas, another study reported that 45 % of mothers under the age of 20 reported smoking during pregnancy compared to 15 % of mothers between the ages of 30 and 44 [25].…”

Objective The purpose of this study was to examine the association between prenatal smoking and small for gestational age (SGA) infants among adolescent women in West Virginia, taking into account sociodemographic and health-related factors. Methods Secondary data analysis was conducted using the 2005-2010 West Virginia Pregnancy Risk Assessment and Monitoring Systems weighted dataset. The study population using complete case analysis procedure consisted of 886 adolescent women ages 19 and younger who delivered a live singleton infant in West Virginia. Results The prevalence of smoking among adolescents during the last 3 months of pregnancy was 67 %. Nearly a quarter (22.0 %) of the adolescents gave birth to SGA infants. Results from the logistic regression analysis showed that after controlling for sociodemographic and health-related variables, adolescents who smoked during the last 3 months of pregnancy were more likely to have SGA infants than those who did not smoke during the last 3 months of pregnancy (OR = 1.86, 95 % CI 1.06-3.27, P = 0.0307). Conclusion This study highlights the importance of recognizing that prenatal smoking is an issue among West Virginia adolescents and the need for evidence-based, culturally, and developmentally appropriate interventions for this Appalachian population.
