Incarcerated adolescents report greater sexual risk than do nonincarcerated peers. High-risk sexual behavior is associated with substance use. To determine how much sexual risk is combined with substance use, 167 incarcerated adolescents reported on their sexual risk behavior in the year before incarceration that involved alcohol or marijuana. For each risk behavior, marijuana use was more likely than was alcohol use. Marijuana use was more common for higher risk behaviors than for lower risk behaviors. Periods of incarceration provide opportunities for intervening on HIV-relevant risk behaviors among adolescents. The context of substance use within high-risk sexual situations ought to be a focus of interventions for incarcerated adolescents.
与未被监禁的同龄人相比,被监禁的青少年报告有更高的性风险。高风险性行为与物质使用有关。为了确定有多少性风险与物质使用相关联,167名被监禁的青少年报告了他们在监禁前一年涉及酒精或大麻的性风险行为。对于每种风险行为,使用大麻比使用酒精的可能性更大。对于高风险行为,大麻使用比低风险行为更为常见。监禁期为干预青少年中与艾滋病毒相关的风险行为提供了机会。高风险性行为情境中的物质使用情况应成为针对被监禁青少年干预措施的重点。
