This proposal focuses on two aspects of the relationship between substance use and sexual behavior among teenagers and young adults. The first involves evaluating the extent to which the relationship between the use of such substances as marijuana, cocaine, and alcohol and various aspects of sexual behavior are causal. That is, does the use, of marijuana, cocaine and alcohol cause young people to initiate sexual intercourse at an earlier age, to be more likely to engage in sexual intercourse in the past month or past year, to be less likely to use condoms or other methods of birth control, to have had more sexual partners. or to have experienced an unplanned pregnancy? The second involves an investigation of the effects of state and local policies that attempt to reduce substance use on the outcomes just mentioned and on the incidence of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), including acquired Immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Examples of these policy variables are the prices of cocaine and marijuana (which depend on resources allocated to criminal justice), penalties imposed on users of these substances for possession, public spending for drug prevention, the price of alcohol (which depends on the rate at which it is taxed), and statutes pertaining to alcohol sales, advertising, and server liability. Five one individual-level panels, one individual-level survey of different teenagers pooled over five years, and two time series of state or city cross sections will be employed: the original National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY), the young adult sample of the NLSY, the new NLSY97, National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 (NELS88), the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health), the Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS), and two data series from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Sexually Transmitted Disease Surveillance Reporting System. Some specific questions to be addressed include: What are the effects of marijuana, cocaine, and alcohol use on a variety of indicators of sexual behavior and risky sex when these effects are obtained by multivariate statistical procedures such as instrumental variables and fixed effects that account for reverse causality and unmeasured variables'? How do these effects differ by gender, race, and age (teenagers versus young adults)? What are the effects of illegal drug and alcohol regulatory variables on sexual behavior, risky sex, and incidence rates of AIDS, chlamydia, and gonorrhea?

该提案重点介绍了关系的两个方面 青少年和年轻人的物质使用和性行为。第一个 涉及评估使用之间关系的程度 大麻，可卡因和酒精等物质以及 性行为是因果关系。也就是说，使用大麻，可卡因和 酒精会导致年轻人在更早的年龄开始性交 在过去一个月或过去的一年中，更有可能进行性交 为了不太可能使用避孕套或其他节育方法， 更多的性伴侣。还是经历了计划外怀孕？第二个 涉及调查国家和地方政策的影响 尝试减少刚才提到的结果的物质使用 性传播疾病（STD）的发病率，包括已获得的 免疫缺陷综合征（AIDS）。这些策略变量的示例是 可卡因和大麻的价格（取决于分配的资源 刑事司法），对这些物质的用户施加的处罚 拥有，公共预防药物的支出，酒精价格（这 取决于征税的税率）以及与酒精有关的法规 销售，广告和服务器责任。五个个人级面板，一个 对五年来汇集的不同青少年的个人级调查，两个 将采用州或城市跨部门的时间序列：原始 国家纵向青年纵向调查（NLSY），年轻的成人样本 NLSY，新的NLSY97，1988年的国家教育纵向研究（NELS88）， 青少年健康纵向研究（Add Health），年轻人 风险行为调查（YRB）和疾病中心的两个数据系列 控制与预防（CDC）性传播疾病监测 报告系统。要解决的一些具体问题包括：什么是 大麻，可卡因和饮酒对各种指标的影响 通过多变量获得这些影响时的性行为和风险性行为 统计程序，例如工具变量和固定效果 解释反向因果关系和未满足的变量？这些影响如何 因性别，种族和年龄（青少年与年轻人）不同吗？什么是 非法药物和酒精调节变量对性行为的影响， 有风险的性行为以及艾滋病，衣原体和淋病的发生率？
