Adolescent Syndromes of Risk for HIV Infection.

Hennessy, Michael

Evaluation Review, v18 n3 p312-41 Jun 1994

Using data from the Youth Risk Behavioral Survey of more than 11,600 adolescents, risks for a general-risk group, reporting behavior indirectly linked to the disease, and a high-risk group reporting more risky behaviors, are estimated. Results highlight the weaknesses of behavioral-risk studies and the questionable nature of risk groups. (SLD)
