Latino youth suffer disproportionately from unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), but studies of the social context of their sexual behaviors are lacking.
Our qualitative assessment of recruitment venues in a Latino neighborhood had 3 objectives: to identify venues where youth at risk of unintended pregnancy and STIs could be found; to describe different youth "crowds"; and to investigate how and where youth meet their sex partners.
We conducted ethnographic interviews with 62 youth recruited primarily from street sites. Mapping of venues was conducted with Map-Info.
Youth crowds included the Regulars, gang-related crowds, street-economy affiliated crowds, and female crowds. Maps demonstrated the dominance of the venues in the Mission by gang members. Street sites are important venues for meeting sexual partners.
The qualitative assessment produced insights and hypotheses that can contribute to the planning of research, outreach, testing, and interventions with Latino youth.
拉丁裔青少年意外怀孕和性传播感染（STIs）的比例过高，但缺乏对其性行为社会背景的研究。
我们对拉丁裔社区招募场所的定性评估有3个目标：确定可能找到有意外怀孕和性传播感染风险的青少年的场所；描述不同的青少年“群体”；调查青少年如何以及在何处结识性伴侣。
我们对主要从街头场所招募的62名青少年进行了人种志访谈。使用Map-Info对场所进行了绘图。
青少年群体包括常客、与帮派有关的群体、与街头经济有关联的群体和女性群体。地图显示，使命区的场所主要由帮派成员控制。街头场所是结识性伴侣的重要场所。
定性评估产生了一些见解和假设，可为针对拉丁裔青少年的研究、外展、检测和干预计划提供参考。
