“…Rates of risky behavior were much higher than in the general population, and these higher rates of risk do translate into high rates of unintended pregnancy as well as STD infection in this population (Canterbury et al 1998;Morris et al 1998;St Lawrence, et al 1999). Researchers have developed a large body of knowledge concerning the correlates and predictors of the risky sexual behaviors of this population (Canterbury et al 1998; Barthlow et al 1995;Magura et al 1994).…”

This study takes the perspective that condom use may be a non-continuous variable, and that the endpoint of consistent condom use is an important focus of study both in terms of public health considerations and theoretically. As consistent condom use is the ultimate goal for prevention of the spread of HIV and STDs among those who are sexually active, special attention needs to be paid to those who have accomplished that goal, especially among high-risk populations. Guided by theories of resiliency, and using consistent condom use as a marker of the broader sexual health resiliency construct, condom promotive factors are used to predict consistent condom use among detained adolescents. Consistent condom users appear to be a distinct sub-population. Likely to be male, they are also likely to have higher self-esteem, higher optimism, and lower sensation seeking and impulsive decision making. They are likely to be in school and to live with both biological parents. Finally, they are likely to have positive attitudes towards condoms and report having friends and peers who feel the same way.

“…In addition, their involvement with the criminal justice system presents an opportunity to access them for risk-reduction intervention (Magura, Shapiro, & Kang, 1994;Robertson & Levin, 1999). The primary goal of this study was to examine the linkages between personality measures hypothesized to be related to risk behavior (e.g., impulsive sensation seeking and future orientation) and risky behaviors in a group of adjudicated adolescents.…”

Relationships Between Future Orientation, Impulsive Sensation Seeking, and Risk Behavior Among Adjudicated Adolescents

Because of high levels of risk behavior, adjudicated adolescents are at high risk for negative health outcomes such as nicotine and drug addiction and sexually transmitted diseases. The goal of this article is to examine relationships between future orientation and impulsive-sensation-seeking personality constructs to risk behaviors among 300 adjudicated adolescents. Significant relationships between impulsive sensation seeking and future orientation were found for several risk behaviors. Individuals with more positive future orientation were less likely to use marijuana, hard drugs, alcohol during sex, had fewer alcohol problems, had lower levels of alcohol frequency and quantity of use, and perceived greater risks associated with such behaviors. Higher impulsivity reliably predicted alcohol problems, alcohol use, condom use, and cigarette smoking.

“…Again, this finding contradicts prevailing trends found in other data. Incarcerated youth have been characterized as having inconsistent condom use, although these youth are amenable to intervention programs that promote condom use (Magura, Shapiro, & Kang, 1994). About one-third of Los Angeles males were in jail at some point over the two year follow-up period.…”

Housing Stability Over Two Years and HIV Risk among Newly Homeless Youth

et al. 2007

The stability of living situation was examined as a predictor of young people's HIV-related sexual and drug use acts two years after leaving home for the first time. Newly homeless youth aged 12-20 years were recruited in Los Angeles County, California, U.S.A. ( n = 261) and Melbourne, Australia ( n = 165) and followed longitudinally at 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months. Their family history of moves and the type and frequency of moves over the two years following becoming newly homeless were examined. Regression analyses indicated that recent sexual risk two years after becoming newly homeless was not related to the instability of youths' living situations; condom use was higher among youth with more placements in institutional settings and among males. Drug use was significantly related to having moved more often over two years and Melbourne youth used drugs significantly more than youth in Los Angeles.
