“…[8][9][10][11] Therefore, research isolating factors impacting condom use is critical. [12][13][14] Whether alcohol and drug use influences condom use remains an equivocal research question. [15][16][17][18][19][20][21] Moreover, only two studies to date investigated whether alcohol and drug use influences condom use errors and problems (CUEP).…”

Abstract. Objective: To assess the relationship between the frequency of being drunk and high during sex, and condom use errors and problems (CUEP) among a sample of high-risk young Black males recruited from the United States. Methods: Data were collected in clinics treating sexually transmissible infections in three cities in the southern United States. Males 15-23 years of age (n = 697) who identified as African-American and reported recent (past 2 months) condom use were eligible. Measures of alcohol and drug use, as well as condom use behaviours were assessed by audio-computer assisted self-interview. Eighteen CUEP were included in this assessment. Results: Sixteen bivariate correlations were obtained. The magnitude of the coefficients was small, ranging from 0.01 to 0.13. Only three were significant. These were positive associations between the frequency of being drunk and the frequency of unprotected vaginal sex, as well as the frequency of the 18-item measure of CUEP. A significant correlation was also found between the frequency of being high during sex and the frequency of unprotected vaginal sex. Adjustments for age did not change the findings. Conclusions: Interventions designed to promote safer sex behaviours among young Black males attending sexually transmissible infection clinics are no more likely to benefit patients through the inclusion of messages and training attempting to dissuade the use of alcohol and drugs before or during sex.Additional keywords: alcohol use, drug use, sexual behaviour, sexually transmitted infections, young men.

“…The first was to determine patterns of sexual partnering across an 11-year period (ages 16 -26 years). Sexual partnering was measured as the accumulated number of partners and was assessed at ages 16,19,23, and 26 years. We focused on the ages of 16 -26 years because late adolescence and emerging adulthood are times when sexual partner changes peak for most people.…”

“…This means that there is little available information on patterns of sexual partnering over more than a 2-year period, and there has been no investigation of the predictors of sexual partnering growth trajectories. The accumulation of different sexual partners is an important behavior because of its links with other sexual risk-taking behavior [19 -22] as well as its potential to increase exposure to physical health problems such as sexually transmitted infections [23,24], and to influence social, emotional, and economic problems [20,25,26].…”

Adolescents had accumulated a higher number of sexual partners by age 16 years when they looked older, drank alcohol more frequently, and were more involved with dating in early to middle adolescence. Also male gender was associated with accumulation of sexual partners more rapidly between ages 16 and 26 years, and there was little indication that the accumulation of different sexual partners had begun to slow by age 26 for the average participant.

“…However, a central construct grounded in Social Cognitive Theory, among others, and supported by empirical evidence has been adolescents' attitudes and beliefs about sex and issues related to sex (see DiClemente and Crosby for an extensive review) [7]. Negative beliefs and feelings, such as the level of shame and stigma associated with contracting an STD, influence adolescents' STD/HIV protective behaviors.…”
