Social ecological model of alcohol use among youth living with HIV
The goal of this study was to identify predictors of alcohol use among youth living with HIV (YWH) using a social ecological approach that examines the individual and the context in which they are embedded. The sample consisted of 183 YWH ages 17–24 from five sites within the Adolescent Medicine Trials Network (ATN). Structural equation modeling was used to test the social ecological model of alcohol use in this sample. The model tested predictor…
Exploring Barriers to Medication Adherence Among African American Emerging Adults With Uncontrolled Asthma
African American emerging adults (age 18–29 years) tend to have poor asthma outcomes, possibly due to poor adherence to medication. Few studies have explored barriers to controller adherence in this population. This study utilized electronic daily diaries to assess barriers to adherence and asthma symptoms among 141 African American emerging adults with uncontrolled persistent asthma and poor adherence. Participants reported symptoms M = 3.43 day…
Exploring effects of multi-level factors on transitions of risk-taking behaviors among Bahamian middle-to-late adolescents
Adolescents experiment with risk behaviors, including delinquency, substance use, and sexual activity. Multi-level social factors, such as having high-risk peers, neighborhood risks, and parental monitoring, influence adolescents’ behaviors. We modeled transition patterns in Bahamian adolescents’ risk behaviors across three high school years and examined the effects of multi-level factors. We collected data from 2,564 Bahamian adolescents in Grad…
Healthy Choices Intervention is Associated with Reductions in Stigma Among Youth Living with HIV in the United States (ATN 129)
Drug Use Among Adolescents and Young Adults with Unsuppressed HIV Who Use Alcohol
The Influence of Sensation-Seeking and Parental and Peer Influences in Early Adolescence on Risk Involvement Through Middle Adolescence
This study examined the relationships between youth and parental sensation-seeking, peer influence, parental monitoring and youth risk involvement in adolescence using structural equation modeling. Beginning in Grade 6, longitudinal data were collected from 543 students over 3 years. Youth sensation-seeking in Grade 6 contributed to risk involvement in early adolescence (Grades 6 and 7) indirectly through increased peer risk influence and decreas…
Adolescent HIV Risk Reduction in the Bahamas
Assessing the Effects of a Complementary Parent Intervention and Prior Exposure to a Preadolescent Program of HIV Risk Reduction for Mid-Adolescents
Objectives. We (1) evaluated the impact of an evidence-based HIV prevention program with and without a parent component among mid-adolescents living in the Caribbean and (2) determined the effect of prior receipt of a related intervention during preadolescence on intervention response. Methods. A randomized, controlled 4-cell trial of a 10-session, theory-based HIV prevention intervention involving 2564 Bahamian grade-10 youths (some of whom had …
Developmental Implications of HIV Prevention During Adolescence
Dramatic changes occur in abstract reasoning, physical maturation, familial relationships and risk exposure during adolescence. It is probable that delivery of behavioral interventions addressing decision-making during the preadolescent period and later in adolescence would result in different impacts. We evaluated the intervention effects of an HIV prevention program (Bahamian Focus on Older Youth, BFOOY) administered to grade 10 Bahamian youth …
Predictors of Responsiveness Among Early Adolescents to a School-Based Risk Reduction Intervention Over 3 Years
Development of Condom-Use Self-Efficacy Over 36 Months Among Early Adolescents
This research evaluates condom-use self-efficacy and its increase throughout adolescence. Documentation of the development of condom-use self-efficacy would be important for prevention efforts given the influence of self-efficacy on actual condom-usage. This study assesses a hypothesized mediation mechanism of the development of self-efficacy using a mediation analysis approach. The participants, 497 grade-6 Bahamian students, were randomly assig…
