本文探讨了青少年在艾滋病预防背景下对性行为和物质使用的态度、信念和抵抗技能的差异。共有553名七年级和八年级的学生完成了一份自我管理的问卷,作为人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)预防项目的基线数据收集。学生对性行为和物质使用的态度差异显着。这个样本中的青少年报告说,与父母讨论物质使用比讨论性更舒服;他们还报告说,对酒精或大麻说“不”比抵制性压力更容易。此外,这些年轻的青少年认为,他们的父母发现他们性活跃比发现他们使用毒品更不高兴。在有过性行为和饮酒经历的学生中,年轻的青少年表示,他们的父母发现他们有性行为比发现他们吸烟、饮酒或吸毒要少得多。艾滋病毒/艾滋病预防工作的影响的研究结果进行了讨论。
This paper explores differences in adolescents' attitudes, beliefs, and resistance skills regarding sexual behaviors and use of substances in the context of AIDS prevention. A total of 553 7th and 8th grade students completed a self-administered questionnaire as baseline data collection for a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention project. Students' attitudes about sexual behavior and substance use differed markedly. Teens in this sample reported feeling significantly more comfortable discussing substance use with their parents than discussing sex; they also reported that it is easier to say "no" to alcohol or marijuana than to resist pressures to have sex. Furthermore, these young adolescents believed that their parents would be less upset to discover that they were sexually active than to find out they were using drugs. Among students who had ever had sex and who had ever used alcohol, young adolescents indicated that their parents would be much less upset to find out they were having sex than to discover they were smoking, drinking alcohol, or using drugs. Implications of the findings for HIV/AIDS prevention efforts are discussed.
