As bisexual women demonstrate heightened risk for hazardous alcohol\u2010 and sex\u2010related behaviors, the present study examined a sequential pathway, whereby the relation between impulsivity and sexual risk\u2010taking is mediated through sex\u2010related alcohol expectancies and alcohol use.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Data were collected from 225 self\u2010identified cisgender, bisexual women between the ages of 18 and 30 years (<jats:italic>M<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200922.77, SD\u2009=\u20093.45), who participated in an online survey.

Thus, greater impulsivity was related to greater sexual risk\u2010taking through heightened sex\u2010related alcohol expectancies and elevated alcohol use.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion and Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Findings from this study highlight mechanisms associated with risky drinking and sexual behaviors among this at\u2010risk population.

Findings from the current study identify impulsivity and sex\u2010related alcohol expectancies as independent and integrative predictors of such risky behaviors. Incorporation of these constructs may aid in the development of more efficacious clinical methods aimed at bettering health outcomes among bisexual
