旨在确定寄养青少年的个人特征，这些青少年更有可能不参加或退出为期 8 个月的生活技能艾滋病毒预防计划。对 320 名寄养青少年（15-18 岁）进行了结构化访谈。逻辑回归和生存分析（Cox 比例风险回归）确定了人口统计、艾滋病毒性危险行为、药物使用、心理健康问题和其他个人层面的风险因素对不参与和辍学的影响。年龄较大和不使用安全套进行阴道性交是不参与的重要预测因素。年龄较大和吸食大麻显着增加了退出该计划的风险。艾滋病毒感染风险较高的寄养青少年更有可能永远不会参与并退出该计划。为了改善初始和持续的参与，寄养青少年的艾滋病毒预防工作应根据个人层面的艾滋病毒风险行为进行调整，并纳入早期和持续的参与和保留策略。
To identify individual-level characteristics of foster care adolescents who are more likely to not participate in, and drop out of, a life-skills HIV prevention program delivered over 8 months. Structured interviews were conducted with 320 foster care adolescents (15–18 years). Logistic regression and survival analyses (Cox Proportional Hazards Regression) determined the influence of demographics, HIV sexual risk behaviors, substance use, mental health problems, and other individual-level risk factors on nonparticipation and dropout. Older age and having vaginal intercourse without a condom were significant predictors of nonparticipation. Older age and marijuana use significantly increased the hazard of dropping out of the program. Foster care adolescents at increased risk for HIV infection were more likely to never participate in and drop out of the program. To improve initial and ongoing participation, HIV prevention efforts for adolescents in foster care should be tailored to individual-level HIV risk behaviors and incorporate early and ongoing engagement and retention strategies.
