Drug-related and sex-related behaviors are of great public health importance. Use of illicit drugs has been shown to influence sexual behavior and present risk factors for disease. Risky sexual behaviors can result in sexually transmitted diseases and unintended pregnancies. This report is intended to provide overall prevalence estimates of drug use and sexual behaviors in adults from a nationally representative sample of the U.S. civilian noninstitutionalized population. A nationwide health promotion and disease prevention agenda for the improved health status of the United States by year 2010 has targeted some of these health risk behaviors.
Several federal surveys track the prevalence of health risk behaviors in the U.S. noninstitutionalized population. Data used for this report were collected in the 1999-2002 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). Prevalence estimates for adult health risk behaviors are shown by selected sociodemographic characteristicsincluding gender, age, race and ethnicity, education, poverty status, and marital status. Health risk behaviors analyzed are cocaine, including crack or freebase, or other street drug use, and sexual behavior.
