Research on the relationship between adolescent health risk behaviors, sexual risk behaviors in particular, and perceived life satisfaction is emerging. Some researchers suggest that life satisfaction has been a neglected component of adolescent health research. African American adolescents aged 13-18 (n = 1,658) from four matched, mid-sized cities in the northeastern and southeastern USA, completed a self-report questionnaire via Audio Computer Assisted Self-Interview. Analyses were conducted to examine relationships between perceived difficulty in performing HIV/AIDS preventive behavior and perceived life satisfaction, while controlling for socioeconomic status. Results suggest that perceived life satisfaction is related to perceived difficulty in performing HIV/AIDS preventive behaviors, for both males and females, with variability in the magnitude of associations by gender. Further research is necessary to identify the particular characteristics of youth and specific aspects of adolescent life satisfaction associated with perceived difficulty in performing HIV/AIDS preventive behavior to develop gender-appropriate and culturally-sensitive quality of life/health promotion programs.
关于青少年健康风险行为，尤其是性风险行为与感知生活满意度之间关系的研究正在兴起。一些研究人员认为，生活满意度一直是青少年健康研究中被忽视的一个组成部分。来自美国东北部和东南部四个匹配的中等规模城市的13至18岁非裔美国青少年（n = 1658）通过音频计算机辅助自我访谈完成了一份自我报告问卷。在控制社会经济地位的同时，进行了分析以检验在实施艾滋病毒/艾滋病预防行为时感知到的困难与感知生活满意度之间的关系。结果表明，无论男性还是女性，感知生活满意度都与实施艾滋病毒/艾滋病预防行为时感知到的困难有关，且关联程度因性别而异。有必要进行进一步研究，以确定与实施艾滋病毒/艾滋病预防行为时感知到的困难相关的青少年的特定特征以及青少年生活满意度的具体方面，从而制定适合性别的、对文化敏感的生活质量/健康促进项目。
