    Wei-Ti Chen, Barbara Guthrie et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2014

Between 2000 and 2010, the API HIV infection rate increased from 4.5% to 8.7%; however, there is a paucity of HIV-related research for this group, and even less is known about the prevalence and correlates of antiretroviral therapy adherence behavior, quality of life, impact of stre…

  • A theoretical approach to studying health behaviors in adolescents

    Barbara J Guthrie, Barbara Guthrie et al.ARTICLEFamily & Community Health1994

    Alcohol use and misuse among adolescents is a major health problem that has been targeted for intervention at the national level. Studies show that alcohol use often begins in preadolescence (8 to 11 years) and, for some youths, escalates to heavy use during senior high school. A number of factors, such as parental and peer norms and attitudes, environmental influences, and self-efficacy, have been identified as predicting alcohol use. Less is kn…
