Young men who have sex with men are disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS, yet relatively little is known about the most effective theoretical frameworks for preventive interventions with this population. This study investigated the fit of the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills (IMB) model for predicting sexual risk among a sample of ethnically diverse young men who have sex with men aged 14-21. Path analysis results indicated that the IMB model predicted a moderate amount of variance in primary and secondary sexual risk for young men who have sex with men (r(2) = .26 and .21, respectively). Fit of this model was acceptable on most indicators of model fit for primary and secondary risk.
男男性行为者受艾滋病毒/艾滋病的影响尤为严重,但对于针对这一人群的预防性干预措施最有效的理论框架,我们了解得相对较少。本研究调查了信息-动机-行为技能(IMB)模型对14至21岁不同种族男男性行为青年样本中性行为风险的预测契合度。路径分析结果表明,IMB模型预测了男男性行为青年初次和二次性行为风险的适度方差(分别为r(2) = .26和.21)。在初次和二次风险的大多数模型拟合指标上,该模型的拟合度是可以接受的。
