Boyer, Cherrie B.; Tschann, Jeanne M.; Shafer, Mary-Ann
Journal of Adolescent Research, v14 n4 p448-65 Oct 1999
Examined risk factors associated with acquisition of sexually transmitted diseases (STD) among adolescents. Found that demographic factors were associated with being sexually experienced, but few demographics were associated with specific STD-related risk behaviors. Knowledge was not associated with any risk behaviors. Use of alcohol and drugs was associated with being sexually experienced and with sexual risk. (Author/KB)
