Risk Comparison among Youth Who Report Sex with Same-Sex versus Both-Sex Partners
Moon, Martha W.; Fornili, Katherine; O'Briant, Amanda L.
Youth & Society, v38 n3 p267-284 2007
This article examines risk behavior among youth attending support groups for sexual minority youth in Richmond, Virginia, using a structured survey, with particular attention to partner selection and its relationship to risk. Within this generally high-risk group, youth reporting sex partners of both sexes had significantly higher risk profiles, including histories of drug use, suicide attempts, sexual victimization, and having run away from or been removed from the home, than those reporting only same-sex partners. (Contains 4 tables.)
