Risky drinking and sexual risk behaviours among young adults in Ghana: evidence from the La-Nkwantanang Madina municipality
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Young adults tend to indulge in risky behaviours. The study utilizes a 10-item AUDIT scale questions and a structured questionnaire on sexual behaviours among school-going young adults to investigate the effect of risky drinking on risky sexual behaviours in the La-Nkwantanang Madina Municipality. A multi-stage sampling technique was utilized. First cluster sampling was used to select 4 schools, consisting of 3 JHS and 1 SHS. Convenience sampling method was used to select university students in the area who were on vacation. The study found that risky drinking was associated with sexual risk behaviours (AOR: 4.23; 95% CI: 2.03–8.83) hence a major predictor of risky sexual behaviours among young adults in the study area. The study found that males were more likely to engage in risky drinking while females were more likely to engage in sexual risk behaviours. The study recommends that alcohol sensitization programmes and sex education be vigorously pursued.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
