“…Studies support the relationship between alcohol and early sexual debut [13], multiple partners [14, 15], inconsistent condom use, or lack of protection during intercourse [16, 17] unwanted pregnancies, and sexual violence, including sexual abuse, forced sex, and rape [18, 19]. Recent research has shown that alcohol plays a role in condom use when gender and partner type are considered [20].…”

This paper summarizes the main results of the survey component of a mixed methods study of alcohol and sexual risk in a general population of young men 18–29 residing in low income communities in the Greater Mumbai area. The survey included demographic variables, and scales and indices measuring work related stress, social influence, exposure to alcohol in childhood, and currently, hyper masculinity, exposure to media and pornography, risk related leisure time activities and alcohol and alcohol/sex expectancies. Measures of alcohol use included frequency/amount/contextual use of six different types of alcohol, a general estimate of frequency and amount (AUDIT), and an estimate of total ml. alcohol consumed in the past 30 days, based on estimates of alcohol content in all types of alcohol consumed, by unit of consumption (glass, peg, bottle) etc. Sexual outcome measures included types and number of partners ever and in past year with and without alcohol, and a critical event with most recent partner (with or without alcohol) and culturally specific indicators of sexual health related to sexual risk taking. A cluster sampling protocol and the use of a screener produced a sample of 1239 men, 1071 thirty day drinkers and 161 nondrinkers. Logistic regression analysis (binary and multinomial) showed relationships between predictor variables and alcohol consumption and alcohol and sexual risk indicators as well as two of the sexual health indicators associated with extramarital sex. Risk behaviors are associated with higher levels of alcohol consumption in this low risk general population of married and unmarried men. Implications for intervention include: (a) reducing or eliminating home drinking, to reduce early childhood exposure; (b) including alcohol in sexual risk and HIV prevention programs; (c) improving couples (married or unmarried) communication to reduce men’s search for sexual alternatives, and (d) treating garmi as an indicator of sexual risk taking rather than STIs.

“…This may be most pronounced in situations in which the adolescent committed prior sexual assaults together with one or more peers or within a gang context or in which the adolescent has previously attempted to gain social approval through sexual aggression. Large crosssectional studies of adolescents in the general population (Borowsky, Hogan, & Ireland, 1997) and incarcerated gang members (Morris, Anderson, & Knox, 2002) indicated that current membership in antisocial gangs and knowing a person who offended sexually, respectively, increased self-reported sexual violence perpetration up to 3 times.…”

“…Two large cross-sectional investigations of adolescent nonforensic individuals (Borowsky et al, 1997) and adolescent gang members incarcerated for nonsexual offending (Morris et al, 2002) both suggested that being a victim of sexual abuse increased self-reported sexual violence perpetration up to 3 times. Some authors of professional assessment guidelines suggest that those adolescents who are victims of child sexual abuse could also be at greater risk for reoffending sexually (Perry & Orchard, 1992;Rich, 2001;Steen & Monnette, 1989;Wenet & Clark, 1986).…”

The assessment of criminal recidivism risk among adolescents who have offended sexually is a complex task with significant implications for the adolescent and the community. We reviewed the empirical and professional literature on factors associated with criminal recidivism in adolescents who have offended sexually. Supported, promising, possible, and unlikely risk factors are presented and findings are contrasted against the extensive data available for adults who offend sexually and adolescent criminality in general. Limitations with the existing literature are noted, such as shortage of validated risk factors for qualitative aspects of reoffending and research specifically with females and ethnic minorities. Recent attempts to combine evidence-based risk factors with case-specific clinical considerations into structured professional or empirically guided judgment formats are presented. We conclude with suggesting practical strategies for the assessment and communication of recidivism risk.

“…The simultaneous rise in both alcohol consumption and HIV infection in India, coupled with a global literature that illustrates associations among drinking, sexuality and sexual risk exposure argue strongly for more research on the topic in India. Much recent literature including many of the articles in this issue of AIDS and Behavior show strong statistical evidence of the association between alcohol consumption and sexual risk taking across a variety of situations, age groups and countries [4–6] in the areas of early sexual debut [4–10], multiple partners [11, 12], inconsistent condom use, or lack of protection during intercourse [13–16] unwanted pregnancies [15], and sexual violence, including sexual abuse, forced sex, and rape [17]. However, this literature is limited in its ability to reveal the pathways that connect drinking to intentional or unintentional unprotected sex and other sexual risks including forced sex.…”

The Use of Qualitative Comparative Analysis for Critical Event Research in Alcohol and HIV in Mumbai, India

et al. 2010

In this paper we use Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) in critical event analysis to identify under what conditions alcohol is necessary in contributing to unprotected sex. The paper is based on a set of in-depth interviews with 84 men aged 18 = 29 from three typical low income communities in Mumbai who reported using alcohol and having sex with at least one nonspousal partner once or more in the 30 days prior to the interview. The interviews included narratives of critical events defined as recent (past 30-60 day) events involving sexual behavior with or without alcohol. The paper identifies themes related to alcohol, sexuality and condom use, uses QCA to identify and explain configurations leading to protected and unprotected sex, and explains the differences. The analysis shows that alcohol alone is not sufficient to explain any cases involving unprotected sex but alcohol in combination with partner type and contextual factors does explain unprotected sex for subsets of married and unmarried men.
