Westhoff, Wayne W.; And Others
Journal of School Health, v66 n3 p102-05 Mar 1996
Sexual behavioral risk factors were studied in 1,090 youth (mean age 14 years) in Moscow (Russia) using the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance survey. Only 26.3% of youth reported being taught about HIV/AIDS infection in school, and just 41.7% indicated discussion of HIV/AIDS with parents or other familial adults. Condoms were used in 41.7% of recent sexual episodes. (Author/DB)
