南非黑人青年感染艾滋病毒的比例不成比例，危险的性行为增加了青年感染艾滋病毒的风险。美国的研究强调了背景对性风险的几个影响，但这些过程还没有在南非的背景下进行审查。在一个便利的南非黑人照顾者及其10-14岁青年(M年龄=11.7，SD=1.4；52.5%女性)的便利样本中，我们在社区层面的过程中，包括社区质量和母亲的社会支持，考察了父母养育和青年性风险之间的关系。使用结构方程模型对假设进行评估。结果显示，更好的社区质量和更多的社会支持预示着积极的育儿方式，而这反过来又预示着更少的青春性风险。社区质量通过教养方式对青少年性行为风险有显著的间接影响。在这个研究不足的样本中，结果突出了社区环境在育儿和青年性风险中的重要性。艾滋病毒预防--干预措施应受到这些背景因素的影响。(C)2017年青少年服务专业人员基金会。爱思唯尔有限公司出版。保留所有权利。
Black South African youth are disproportionately affected by HIV, and risky sexual behaviors increase youths' vulnerability to infection. U.S.-based research has highlighted several contextual influences on sexual risk, but these processes have not been examined in a South African context. In a convenience sample of Black South African caregivers and their 10-14-year-old youth (M-age = 11.7, SD = 1.4; 52.5% female), we examined the relation between parenting and youth sexual risk within the context of community-level processes, including neighborhood quality and maternal social support. Hypotheses were evaluated using structural equation modeling. Results revealed that better neighborhood quality and more social support predicted positive parenting, which in turn predicted less youth sexual risk. There was a significant indirect effect from neighborhood quality to youth sexual risk via parenting. Results highlight the importance of the community context in parenting and youth sexual risk in this understudied sample. HIV prevention-interventions should be informed by these contextual factors.
