最近的研究表明，无家可归的前寄养青少年行为健康结果不佳的比例很高，包括艾滋病毒危险行为的风险增加。在当前的研究中，使用行为健康问卷从洛杉矶收容中心的 184 名青少年收集了数据，以探讨寄养经历的具体方面与参与艾滋病毒危险行为之间的关系。结果表明，在离开寄养机构之前首次无家可归经历的青少年比在离开寄养机构之后首次无家可归经历的青少年更有可能进行性吸毒和性交换。针对艾滋病毒风险行为的干预服务应考虑寄养安置中可能增加这些行为风险的方面，例如长期安置或在退出寄养之前经历无家可归，以及可能降低这些行为风险的方面，例如在年龄较大时退出安置。
Recent research shows high rates of poor behavioral health outcomes among homeless former foster youth, including increased risk for HIV-risk behaviors. In the current study, data were collected from 184 youth at drop-in centers in Los Angeles using behavioral health questionnaires to explore the relationships between specific aspects of foster care experiences and engagement in HIV-risk behaviors. Results indicated that youth whose first homelessness experience occurred before leaving foster care were significantly more likely to engage in drug use with sex and exchange sex than those whose first homelessness experience occurred after leaving foster care. Intervention services targeting HIV-risk behaviors should consider the aspects of foster care placements that may increase the risk of these behaviors, such as long periods of placement or experiencing homelessness before exiting foster care, as well as those that may decrease the risk of these behaviors, such as exiting placement at an older age.
