本研究的目的是确定，在115名墨西哥裔美国人的社区样本中，关系变量与参与者的艾滋病毒风险感知，安全套的使用率以及与关系伴侣的HN相关沟通的关联。对总样本和每个性别分别进行分层多元回归分析，结果显示亲密和承诺与艾滋病毒风险感知，安全套的使用，即使在控制了年龄、性别、文化适应、婚姻状况和关系长度的影响之后，然而，在总样本、仅女性样本和仅男性样本中，显著相关性的模式不同。结果表明，亲密和承诺的密切关系的背景下，应考虑在HN风险降低墨西哥裔美国人的努力的重要因素。
The purpose of this study was to determine, within a community sample of 115 Mexican Americans, the association of relationship variables to participants' HIV risk perception, rise of condoms, and HN-related communication with a relationship partner Hierarchical multiple regression analyses with the total sample and within each gender separately revealed that intimacy and commitment were related to HIV risk perception, condom use, and HIV-related communication even after effects of age, gender, acculturation, marital status, and length of relationship were controlled. The pattern of significant correlates differs, however in the total, women-only, and men-only samples. Results suggest that intimacy and commitment are important elements of the close relationship context that should be considered in HN risk reduction efforts among Mexican Americans.
