In order to examine the association between HIV/AIDS knowledge and perceptions, and risk intentions and behaviours among adolescents in Goa, India, cross-sectional data from 942 youth were collected and assessed. The prevalence rates in the past six months for fighting, smoking, drinking and drug use were 16.5%, 3.8%, 17.8% and 1.1%, respectively; 5.2% acknowledged ever having engaged in sex. Prior risk involvement was significantly correlated with future risk intention (odds ratio [OR]: 9.7-19.7), and those involved in one risk behaviour were more likely to engage in other risk behaviours (OR: 1.3-23.5). The findings suggest the importance of targeted interventions for youth engaging or intending to engage in risk behaviours and universal interventions regarding basic facts and skills for all youth in Goa.
为了研究印度果阿邦青少年的艾滋病毒/艾滋病知识与认知、风险意图及行为之间的关联，收集并评估了来自942名青年的横断面数据。在过去六个月中，打架、吸烟、饮酒和吸毒的发生率分别为16.5%、3.8%、17.8%和1.1%；5.2%的人承认曾有过性行为。既往风险参与与未来风险意图显著相关（优势比[OR]：9.7 - 19.7），且参与一种风险行为的人更有可能参与其他风险行为（OR：1.3 - 23.5）。研究结果表明，针对参与或打算参与风险行为的青年进行有针对性的干预，以及针对果阿邦所有青年开展关于基本事实和技能的普及性干预具有重要意义。
