## Abstract

Project Summary
The long-term objective of the proposed study is to determine whether simultaneous alcohol and marijuana
use temporally precedes and increases the risk for high-risk sexual behavior, and whether distal impulsivity
and simultaneous alcohol and marijuana peer norms moderate this temporal association in college students.
The proposed study will utilize daily diary methodology to examine the aims and hypotheses. High-risk sexual
behaviors are associated with a variety of negative outcomes (e.g., unwanted pregnancies) and are incredibly
prevalent in young adult populations, as are rates of alcohol and marijuana use. The proposed study aims to
investigate the relationship between simultaneous alcohol and marijuana use and high-risk sexual behaviors in
100 alcohol and marijuana-using, sexually active college students. To date, no research exists that has
examined the temporal relationship between simultaneous alcohol and marijuana use and high-risk sexual
behaviors in college students. In the proposed study, participants will complete 30 days of daily diaries
reporting on their alcohol use, marijuana use, and high-risk sexual behaviors. This methodology will allow for
accurate elucidation of this temporal relationship. This project can provide critical information for future
interventions aimed at reducing high-risk sexual behaviors in college students.
