AB PURPOSE: Concern about HIV in adolescents and young adults has led a
number of investigators to examine the link between drinking and risky
behavior, including failure to use condoms. Most of the studies that
conclude that this link exists have used global measures of both
variables and have not investigated drinking and use of condoms on the
same occasion. If drinking leads to low condom use, both behaviors must
occur together and the failure to find that they do weakens the
hypothesis that they are causally related. METHODS: Data from three
separate studies on different adolescent and young adult populations are
reported. In each study the relationship between drinking behavior and
condom use at last intercourse was examined. RESULTS: Drinking was not
related to lower condom use in any of the populations studied.
CONCLUSIONS: This negative result implies that the dis-inhibiting effect
of alcohol is not a major factor in the failure of young adults to use
condoms.
