目的：收集270名14-18岁被拘留的男性青少年的资料，以确定曾经加入过帮派与一系列性行为之间的关系。方法：参与者使用音频计算机辅助自访(A-CASI)程序回答调查问题，评估人口统计学、家庭因素、帮派成员史和性行为。结果：控制人口统计学、社会经济状况和家庭因素的多因素Logistic回归分析表明，与报告没有参与帮派的同龄人相比，报告曾加入帮派的青少年，发生性行为的可能性是男性的5.7倍，让女孩怀孕的可能性是女性的3.2倍，性交过程中酗酒或吸毒的可能性是男性的近4倍，与酒精或其他药物的伴侣发生性行为的可能性是男性的4倍，或者同时与多个伴侣发生性行为的可能性是男性的4倍。结论：研究结果表明，在被拘留的高危人群中，加入过帮派可以区分与性传播相关的危险行为水平。
Objective: Data were collected from 270 detained male adolescents ( aged 14 - 18 years) to determine the association between ever having been in a gang and a range of sexual behaviours such as sexual activity, male condom use, sex with multiple partners, and drug use during sex.Methods: Participants answered survey questions using audio computer assisted self interviewing (A-CASI) procedures, which assessed demographic, family factors, history of gang membership, and sexual behaviours.Results: Multiple logistic regression analyses, controlling for demographic, socioeconomic status, and family factors, indicated that adolescents who reported having been in a gang, relative to their peers reporting no gang involvement, were 5.7 times more likely to have had sex, 3.2 times more likely to have got a girl pregnant, and almost four times more likely to have been "high'' on alcohol or other drugs during sexual intercourse, have had sex with a partner who was "high'' on alcohol or other drugs, or have had sex with multiple partners concurrently.Conclusions: Findings suggest that having been in a gang can discriminate between levels of STI associated risk behaviours among an otherwise high risk population detained adolescent males.
