In a survey that measured AIDS knowledge, perceived risk and prevention among 404 sexually active adolescent women who were family planning clinic patients in Baltimore, knowledge about AIDS was high, with the average respondent answering seven out of nine questions correctly. Slightly more than half of the teenagers reported some degree of perceived risk that they could get AIDS. However, perceived AIDS risk was not predictive of condom use at last intercourse. The strongest predictor of condom use was having asked a partner to use one, suggesting that adolescent women may exert a greater influence on condom use than has been previously assumed. The analyses result in recommendations that personalized AIDS prevention programs be integrated into family planning programs, that adolescent clients be advised to use condoms with spermicides, and that they be assisted in acquiring the social skills needed to negotiate condom use with partners.
在一项针对巴尔的摩计划生育诊所的404名性活跃青春期女性进行的关于艾滋病知识、感知风险和预防措施的调查中，她们对艾滋病的了解程度较高，平均每位受访者能正确回答九个问题中的七个。略超过半数的青少年表示察觉到自己有一定感染艾滋病的风险。然而，在最近一次性交中，感知到的艾滋病风险并不能预测是否会使用避孕套。使用避孕套最有力的预测因素是曾要求性伴侣使用，这表明青春期女性对避孕套使用的影响可能比之前认为的更大。分析结果给出了以下建议：将个性化的艾滋病预防项目纳入计划生育项目；建议青春期客户使用含杀精剂的避孕套；并协助她们掌握与性伴侣协商使用避孕套所需的社交技能。
