In one multisite, primary health-care program in 10 large cities in the United States, 3% of participating adolescents engaged in behaviors that increased their risk for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection (i.e., prostitution, injecting-drug use, male homosexual behavior, or behaviors leading to ulcerative sexually transmitted diseases [STDs]); 16% of these adolescents had had more than six sex partners or a nonulcerative STD in the previous year. In the United States, schools are an important setting for education about HIV and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS); however, the potential role of parents in educating their children about this problem has not been well characterized. To determine characteristics of parents who reported discussing (or not discussing) AIDS with their 10-17-year-old children, CDC analyzed data from the 1989 National Health Interview Survey, a national multistage probability survey of U.S. households conducted by CDC's National Center for Health Statistics.
在美国10个大城市开展的一项多地点初级卫生保健项目中，3%参与项目的青少年有增加感染人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）风险的行为（即卖淫、注射吸毒、男性同性恋行为或导致溃疡性性传播疾病的行为）；这些青少年中有16%在过去一年有6个以上性伴侣或患有非溃疡性性传播疾病。在美国，学校是开展HIV和获得性免疫缺陷综合征（AIDS）教育的重要场所；然而，父母在教育子女认识这一问题方面的潜在作用尚未得到充分描述。为了确定报告与10至17岁子女讨论（或未讨论）AIDS的父母的特征，美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）分析了1989年国家健康访谈调查的数据，该调查是由CDC国家卫生统计中心开展的一项针对美国家庭的全国性多阶段概率调查。
