Focus groups (N = 15 groups; eight with girls, seven with boys) with adolescents in high schools near Cape Town, South Africa were used to conduct a qualitative investigation of reported reasons for using and not using substances, and for having and not having sex. Adolescents reported Enhancement, Negative States, Social, and Aversive Social motivations for both substance use and sexual behavior. In addition, being addicted as a reason for using drugs and rape as a context for sexual behavior were frequently reported. Motivations against behaviors included Physical/Behavioral Consequences, Ethical Objections, Social Disapproval, and Activities or Future Orientation reasons. Preventive interventions should address existing motivations for and against substance use and sexual behavior to acknowledge adolescents' experiences in context.
在南非开普敦附近的高中，对青少年进行了焦点小组访谈（共15个小组，8个小组为女生，7个小组为男生），以对报告的使用和不使用毒品以及发生和不发生性行为的原因进行定性调查。青少年报告了使用毒品和性行为的增强、消极状态、社交以及厌恶社交动机。此外，经常报告称吸毒成瘾是使用毒品的原因，而强奸是性行为的背景。反对这些行为的动机包括身体/行为后果、道德反对、社会不认可以及活动或未来导向原因。预防性干预应针对支持和反对使用毒品及性行为的现有动机，以认识到青少年在实际情境中的经历。
