Alcohol use, sexual activity and young people
“The resource pack will be hugely beneficial.”
Course participant, Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead
Young people are up to three times more likely to have unprotected sex when they are drunk. Increasingly, professionals working with young people are becoming aware that young people’s alcohol use has direct links with their sexual activity.
As well as enabling easier interaction on a social level, alcohol use lowers inhibitions and sometimes causes young people to do things they would not do if they had not been drinking. Regret features largely in young people’s description of sexual activity when they have been drinking.
This course aims to look at young people’s alcohol consumption, how alcohol affects risk taking and related sexual activity. It also aims to help professionals formulate strategies to work with young people around these issues.
