Although gang-involved Latino youth in the United States are uniquely at risk of adverse consequences from sexual behavior, little research is available that can guide those who wish to develop interventions to reduce sexual risk among these youth. To facilitate the development of effective interventions, we identified cultural and contextual factors that influence sexual behavior and sex education among gang-involved Latino youth in one U.S. community. By analyzing transcripts from interviews and focus groups with three different groups of key stakeholders--gang-experienced Latino youth, the parents of gang-experienced Latino youth, and the personnel of a program providing comprehensive human services for gang-involved Latino youth--we identified three domains to be considered in developing sexual risk-reduction interventions for gang-involved U.S. Latino youth. The focus of our discussion is on the implications of these findings for future development or adaptation of interventions.
尽管在美国，涉足帮派的拉丁裔青年面临性行为带来的不良后果的风险尤为独特，但几乎没有研究能够为那些希望制定干预措施以降低这些青年性风险的人提供指导。为了促进有效干预措施的制定，我们确定了影响美国一个社区中涉足帮派的拉丁裔青年性行为和性教育的文化和背景因素。通过分析与三组不同关键利益相关者（有帮派经历的拉丁裔青年、有帮派经历的拉丁裔青年的父母以及为涉足帮派的拉丁裔青年提供综合人类服务的项目人员）的访谈和焦点小组记录，我们确定了在为涉足帮派的美国拉丁裔青年制定降低性风险干预措施时需要考虑的三个领域。我们讨论的重点是这些发现对未来干预措施的开发或调整的影响。
