“…A number of risk reduction interventions have been tested with incarcerated high-risk youths23,26 but access is limited and much more research is needed on effective program models 40,41. Moreover, given the brief stays in centralized juvenile justice intake centers such as the HJAC, and competing priorities, lengthy interventions may not be feasible at the initial stages of juvenile justice processing and few, if any, centralized intake centers currently have in place procedures to test newly arrested youths for STDs.…”

“…In the United States, approximately 5.5% of youth 10 years and older are referred every year to juvenile court; most of them are male and belong to and ethnic minority community (Williams & Khan, 2007). Adjudicated youths share many sexual risk factors with youths in the general population, including low rates of condom use, high rates of sex with multiple partners, and early onset of sexual activity (Clark et al, 2000).…”

This community-based exploratory study examined the effects of a history of violence, ethnic identification, and acculturation status on HIV risk among a majority Latino sample of youth living in a large metropolitan area of the Southwest in the United States. The participants reported high rates of violence and attitudes that put them at risk for HIV/AIDS infection. They participated in 1 of 2 prevention interventions offered by a local non-governmental organization. The first intervention was tailored for adjudicated youth (N=49) who were either institutionalized or were returning to the community after involvement with the criminal justice system. The second intervention targeted youth (N=32) who were homeless/runaway and/or self-identified as gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender (GLBT). T-tests and linear regression were used to determine the differences between youth reporting a history of violence by type of perpetrator, its relationship with HIV risk, and the role of ethnic identification and acculturation status as potential protective factors. Violence by a family member was the most common type of violence reported, with a history of violence positively related to HIV risk. Ethnic identification and linguistic acculturation had a protective effect against HIV risk among the homeless and GLBT youth but not among the adjudicated youth.
