          Abstract

          El uso de drogas -alcohol incluido- como facilitadoras del asalto sexual y las conductas sexuales de riesgo son dos fenómenos relevantes desde una perspectiva sociosanitaria. El objetivo de la presente investigación es comparar las actitudes hacia estas variables en una muestra de 164 jóvenes en condiciones de intoxicación etílica frente a sobriedad. La muestra está compuesta por 82 varones y 82 mujeres. Su media de edad era 27.50 ± 63.72. Contestaron un cuestionario en el que se recogen datos sociodemográficos, información del consumo de drogas y la Escala de Conductas Sexuales; además, se emplearon varios etilómetros Digital Zaphir Deluxe para determinar la alcoholemia. Se trata de un estudio cuasiexperimental realizado sobre un diseño intraindividual. El muestreo es no probabilístico de tipo "bola de nieve". Los resultados muestran unas actitudes más positivas y una mayor intencionalidad hacia el empleo de drogas como facilitadoras del asalto sexual y hacia las conductas sexuales de riesgo de los sujetos que se encuentran bajo el efecto del alcohol en contextos recreativos, independientemente del sexo de la muestra. Se destaca, por un lado, la importancia de investigar sobre el uso de drogas como facilitadoras del asalto sexual (tema ampliamente ignorado en España) y se profundiza en cómo el consumo de drogas afecta al uso de métodos anticonceptivos, y por otro, la necesidad de incluir información en los programas preventivos sobre cómo el consumo de alcohol (y otras drogas) está relacionado con la actividad sexual.

          Drug use (alcohol included) as a sexual-assault facilitator and risky sexual behavior are two important issues from a social and health perspective. This study aims to compare the attitudes towards these variables in a sample of 164 young people in conditions of intoxication vs sobriety. The sample consisted of 82 men and 82 women. Their mean age was 27.50 (SD = 3.72). Participants answered a sociodemographic questionnaire, a drug information questionnaire, and the Sexual Behaviors Scale. and moreover, Several Zaphir Deluxe Digital breathalyzers were also used to monitor alcohol level. This is a quasiexperimental study conducted using a within-subject design. Non-probabilistic snowball sampling was used. The results showed more positive attitudes and greater intentions towards the use of drugs as facilitators of sexual assault and risky sexual behaviors in those who are under the influence of alcohol in recreational contexts, regardless of the sex of the sample. These results showed, on the one hand, the importance of studies into the use of drug facilitated sexual assault -a largely ignored issue in Spain- and to determine how drug use affects the use of contraceptive methods. On the other hand, the results show the need to include information in preventive programs about the way alcohol (and other drugs) use is related to sexual activity.

          Binge drinking and associated health risk behaviors among high school students.

          Underage drinking contributes to the 3 leading causes of death (unintentional injury, homicide, and suicide) among persons aged 12 to 20 years. Most adverse health effects from underage drinking stem from acute intoxication resulting from binge drinking. Although binge drinking, typically defined as consuming > or = 5 drinks on an occasion, is a common pattern of alcohol consumption among youth, few population-based studies have focused specifically on the characteristics of underage binge drinkers and their associated health risk behaviors. We analyzed data on current drinking, binge drinking, and other health risk behaviors from the 2003 National Youth Risk Behavior Survey. Prevalence estimates and 95% confidence intervals were calculated by using SAS and SUDAAN statistical software. Logistic regression was used to examine the associations between different patterns of alcohol consumption and health risk behaviors. Overall, 44.9% of high school students reported drinking alcohol during the past 30 days (28.8% binge drank and 16.1% drank alcohol but did not binge drink). Although girls reported more current drinking with no binge drinking, binge-drinking rates were similar among boys and girls. Binge-drinking rates increased with age and school grade. Students who binge drank were more likely than both nondrinkers and current drinkers who did not binge to report poor school performance and involvement in other health risk behaviors such as riding with a driver who had been drinking, being currently sexually active, smoking cigarettes or cigars, being a victim of dating violence, attempting suicide, and using illicit drugs. A strong dose-response relationship was found between the frequency of binge drinking and the prevalence of other health risk behaviors. Binge drinking is the most common pattern of alcohol consumption among high school youth who drink alcohol and is strongly associated with a wide range of other health risk behaviors. Effective intervention strategies (eg, enforcement of the minimum legal drinking age, screening and brief intervention, and increasing alcohol taxes) should be implemented to prevent underage alcohol consumption and adverse health and social consequences resulting from this behavior.

            Alcohol use and risky sexual behavior among college students and youth: evaluating the evidence.

            To evaluate the empirical associations between alcohol use and risky sex at two levels of analysis. Global associations test whether individuals who engage in one behavior are more likely to engage in the other, whereas event-specific associations test whether the likelihood of engaging in one behavior on a given occasion varies as a function of engaging in the other on that same occasion. Studies examining the association between drinking and risky sex in samples of college students and youth were reviewed. Those published in the past 10 years and using event-level methodology or random sampling were emphasized. Findings were generally consistent across levels of analysis, but differed across types of risky behaviors. Drinking was strongly related to the decision to have sex and to indiscriminate forms of risky sex (e.g., having multiple or casual sex partners), but was inconsistently related to protective behaviors (e.g., condom use). Moreover, the links among alcohol use, the decision to have sex and indiscriminate behaviors were found in both between-persons and within-persons analyses, suggesting that these relationships cannot be adequately explained by stable individual differences between people who do and do not drink. Analysis of event characteristics showed that drinking was more strongly associated with decreased protective behaviors among younger individuals, on first intercourse experiences and for events that occurred on average longer ago. Future efforts aimed at reducing alcohol use in potentially sexual situations may decrease some forms of risky sex, but are less likely to affect protective behaviors directly.
