Abstract

Objectives: To determine the impact of fraternity and sorority membership on condom use during sex. Methods: Utilizing data from The American College Health Association (ACHA) National College Health Assessment from 2016-2018, we estimated a linear probability, logistic, and instrumental variable model to determine the relationship between fraternity and sorority membership and the frequency of condom use during sex. Results: Compared to non-fraternity members, fraternity members experience an increase in sex without a condom for both oral sex (13.5%, 95% ci= 0.048, 0.221) and anal sex (28.5%, 95% ci= 0.174, 0.396). Compared to non-sorority members, sorority members are more likely to engage in oral sex without a condom. This result is not robust to single sorority members. Conclusions: Fraternity membership increases the probability of risky oral and anal sex. Policy Implications: The reduced use of condoms has implications on sexual health including an increased risk of contracting or spreading sexually transmitted infections.

摘要

目标：确定兄弟会和姐妹会成员身份对性行为中安全套使用的影响。方法：利用 2016 年至 2018 年美国大学健康协会 (ACHA) 全国大学健康评估的数据，我们估计了线性概率、逻辑斯蒂和工具变量模型，以确定兄弟会和姐妹会成员身份与期间安全套使用频率之间的关系。性别。结果：与非兄弟会成员相比，兄弟会成员在口交 (13.5%, 95% ci= 0.048, 0.221) 和肛交 (28.5%, 95% ci= 0.174, 0.396) 方面的不戴安全套性行为有所增加。与非联谊会成员相比，联谊会成员更有可能在不使用安全套的情况下进行口交。这个结果对于单身联谊会成员来说并不稳健。结论：兄弟会成员资格增加了危险口交和肛交的可能性。政策影响：减少使用安全套会对性健康产生影响，包括增加感染或传播性传播感染的风险。
