 AB    Analyses of data from a random sample of 1,259 sexually active
       adolescents revealed that substance use was associated with increased
       sexual risk taking on 2 occasions of intercourse (1st intercourse ever
       and 1st intercourse with most recent partner), even after controlling
       for demographic experiential, and dispositional confounders.
       Within-persons analyses yielded similar results, indicating that
       adolescents who used substances, on 1 of the 2 occasions, reported
       higher levels of risk taking on the occasion when substances were used
       than on the no-substance use occasion. However, substance use was both
       more common and more strongly linked to risk taking among White than
       Black adolescents, suggesting that White adolescents are a greater risk
       of negative consequences related to substance use proximal to
       intercourse.
