Sex-Related HIV Risk Reduction Behavior among Adolescents in DATOS-A.

Joshi, Vandana; Hser, Yih-Ing; Grella, Christine E.; Houlton, Roberta

Journal of Adolescent Research, v16 n6 p642-60 Nov 2001

Examined the effect of drug treatment on reducing HIV-related risky sex behavior among 796 adolescents entering drug treatment programs in four U.S. cities. Found that 54 percent reported reductions in risky sex behavior after treatment. Lack of improvement was associated with conduct-disorder diagnosis, abuse history, unmet physical and emotional needs, and low school commitment. (Author/KB)
