This study sought to identify and compare variables associated with motivation to change alcohol, drug use, and HIV risk behaviors among a sample of homeless youths. More frequent alcohol use, older age, and childhood sexual abuse was associated with greater motivation to change alcohol use; higher reported negative consequences of substance use was associated with higher motivation to reduce illicit drug use. Shorter periods of current homelessness predicted higher motivation to change HIV risk behaviors. Findings suggest these areas might be fruitful targets of intervention efforts to enhance motivation to reduce alcohol and illicit drug use and HIV risk behaviors.
本研究旨在识别并比较与无家可归青少年改变饮酒、吸毒及艾滋病病毒(HIV)风险行为的动机相关的变量。饮酒更频繁、年龄较大以及童年期遭受性虐待与改变饮酒行为的更大动机相关;报告的物质使用负面后果较多与减少非法药物使用的更高动机相关。当前无家可归时间较短预示着改变HIV风险行为的动机较高。研究结果表明,这些领域可能是干预措施的有效目标,以增强减少饮酒、非法药物使用及HIV风险行为的动机。
