Abstract

Little is known about the implications of cannabis legalization on adolescent health behaviors. This study sought to examine the relationship between recreational cannabis legalization and adolescent sexual risk behaviors. Data on 371,487 respondents who have ever had sexual intercourse from 41 states in the 2005 to 2019 Youth Risk Behavior Survey was linked with data on state-level cannabis policies. Difference-in-differences logistic regression models were conducted. Recreational cannabis legalization was associated with a reduced likelihood of respondents having 2+ sexual partners (adjusted OR [aOR] 0.63, 95% CI [0.47, 0.84]), but had no association with condom use (aOR 0.94, 95% CI [0.80, 1.11]). Changing social norms around cannabis is a potential pathway linking cannabis legalization to a reduction in sexual risk behaviors.

娱乐性大麻合法化与青少年性危险行为

人们对大麻合法化对青少年健康行为的影响知之甚少。本研究旨在探讨娱乐性大麻合法化与青少年性危险行为之间的关系。在2005年至2019年的青少年风险行为调查中，来自41个州的371487名曾经发生过性行为的受访者的数据与州级大麻政策的数据有关。采用差异中差异逻辑回归模型。娱乐性大麻合法化与受访者拥有2名以上性伴侣的可能性降低有关(调整比值比[aOR] 0.63, 95% CI[0.47, 0.84])，但与使用安全套无关(aOR = 0.94, 95% CI[0.80, 1.11])。改变大麻的社会规范是将大麻合法化与减少性风险行为联系起来的潜在途径。
