Determinants of Safer Sex Patterns among Gay/Bisexual Male Adolescents.

Rotherram-Borus, Mary Jane; And Others

Journal of Adolescence, v18 n1 p3-15 Feb 1995

Examined cognitive-behavioral (health-belief, social cognitive, peer support), risk-taking, and stress/coping models as predictors of safer sex practices among 136 gay/bisexual males, ages 14-19. Components of the health-belief, self-efficacy theories, and emotional distress models corresponded with safer sex practices; peer support was not influential. (RJM)
