Factors Associated with AIDS Risk Behaviors among High School Students in an AIDS Epicenter.

Walter, Heather J.; And Others

American Journal of Public Health, v82 n4 p528-32 Apr 1992

A survey of 531 tenth graders in an Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) epicenter confirms their risk of acquiring the AIDS virus. Because socioenvironmental factors may strongly influence AIDS risk behavior, elucidation of the social influence process among adolescents should become a prevention research priority. (SLD)
