This study aimed to identify the prevalence of health-risk behaviours (alcohol use, tobacco smoking and gambling) and the associations between health-risk behaviours and injuries among youth (15–24 years) and young adults (25–39 years). A multi-stage cluster sampling survey was conducted in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The associations between health-risk behaviours and injuries were analysed using logistic regression and adjusted for potential confounders. Sample weights were applied in all analyses. Six-hundred-and-thirty participants were included. Fifty-three percent of males and 12.3% of females drank in the past three months. Smoking in the past three months was higher among males (38.5%) than females (0.7%). About a quarter of men and a fifth of the women had gambled in the past year. A total of 6.4% of males and 4.8% of females sought medical attention in the past year due to injuries. Compared to those without any of the three health-risk behaviours, the odds ratio for injuries requiring medical attention was 3.81 (95% CI: 1.33 to 10.90, p = 0.013) for those with two health-risk behaviours and 13.8 (95% CI: 4.24 to 45.10, p < 0.001) for those with all three health-risk behaviours. Injury prevention policies may need to incorporate interventions designed to assess multiple health-risk behaviours.

泰国清迈青少年的健康风险行为和伤害：基于人群的调查。

这项研究旨在确定健康风险行为（酗酒，吸烟和赌博）的普遍性，以及青少年（15-24岁）和年轻人（25​​-39岁）健康风险行为与伤害之间的关联。在泰国清迈进行了多阶段的整群抽样调查。使用逻辑回归分析健康风险行为与伤害之间的关联，并针对潜在的混杂因素进行调整。在所有分析中均采用样品重量。六百三十人参加了会议。在过去的三个月中，有53％的男性和12.3％的女性饮酒。在过去三个月中，男性吸烟率（38.5％）高于女性吸烟率（0.7％）。在过去的一年中，大约有四分之一的男性和五分之一的女性赌博。男性占6.4％，男性占4。过去一年中，有8％的女性因受伤而就医。与没有这三种健康风险行为中的任何一种相比，需要医疗救护的受伤几率是3.81（95％CI：1.33至10.90，有两种具有健康风险行为的患者，p = 0.013），具有所有三种具有健康风险行为的患者，其值为13.8（95％CI：4.24至45.10，p <0.001）。伤害预防政策可能需要纳入旨在评估多种健康风险行为的干预措施。
