【摘要】由于心理困扰和危险性行为的因素，*成长中的成年人（Emergingadults）的性冒险的发生率增加。本研究调查了具有低度、中度和高度心理困扰的成长中的成年人的性行为（例如，安全套使用不一致和过去一年的性传播感染病史）有何不同。参与者是251,254名在美国大学就读并参加了国家大学健康评估（NCHA）的成长中的成年人。研究结果表明，心理困扰、安全套使用不一致和过去的性传播感染病史之间存在剂量反应关系，因此更大的心理困扰与安全套使用不一致和/或过去一年的性传播感染 (STI)病史之间存在关联。

[Abstract] Emerging adults experience increased morbidity as a result of psychological distress and risky sexual behavior. This study examines how sexual behaviors (e.g., condo muse inconsistency and past year STI history) differ among emerging adults with low, moderate, and high psychological distress. Participants are 251,254 emerging adults attending colleges and universities in the United States who participated in the National College Health Assessment (NCHA). Findings suggest a dose-response relationship between psychological distress, condom use inconsistency, and past STI history, such that an association between greater psychological distress and condom use inconsistency and/or past year history of sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

[Key words] Psychological distress; condom use; college students; emerging adults; sexual health
