本研究探讨了几种类型的精神功能（神经精神，情感和认知功能）和物质使用与艾滋病毒的危险行为之间的894个被监禁的女孩和男孩。在美国南部一个州，被还押到青少年管教所的青少年完成了一项关于虐待史、情感和行为困难以及人口统计学的结构化访谈。经历过忧郁情绪的青少年更有可能从事使他们处于艾滋病毒感染风险中的行为。此外，较高的酒精使用水平预测了艾滋病毒风险行为。艾滋病毒预防工作需要解决青少年犯罪中的情绪困扰和物质使用问题，以减少艾滋病毒风险行为。对治疗和未来研究的意义进行了讨论。
This study examined several types of psychiatric functioning (neuropsychiatric, emotional, and cognitive functioning) and substance use in relation to HIV risk behavior among 894 incarcerated girls and boys. Youth remanded to juvenile correctional facilities in a southern US state completed a structured interview regarding abuse history, emotional and behavioral difficulties, and demographics. Adolescents who experienced sullen affect were significantly more likely to engage in behaviors that put them at risk for HIV infection. Moreover, higher levels of alcohol use predicted HIV risk behavior. HIV prevention efforts need to address emotional distress as well as substance use among delinquent adolescents to reduce HIV risk behavior. Implications for treatment and future research are discussed.
