Perceived parental monitoring and health risk behaviors among urban low-income African-American children and adolescents
Impact of perceived parental monitoring on adolescent risk behavior over 4 years
Similarities in Sexual Activity and Condom Use among Friends within Groups before and after a Risk-Reduction Intervention
One promising avenue for augmenting the effect of interventions designed to reduce risk behaviors for acquisition of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) among adolescents is the use of peer influence through friendship groups. In this study, conducted among 76 groups of African American adolescents, the authors sought to determine whether the similarity of behaviors among group members persists over time and whether the similarity is enhanced …
Talking” computers
To obtain valid results, interviews on sex‐related topics not only require confidentiality but also privacy. However, the typical solutions to this problem, self‐administered questionnaires or telephone interviews, may not be appropriate for pre‐ and early adolescents who may require face‐to‐face (FTF) interviews. In this research, we tested the hypothesis that interviews delivered by talking computers would elicit more reports of sexual experien…
Persistence of Drug Trafficking Behaviors and Intentions among Urban African American Early Adolescents
Longitudinal data obtained 6 months apart from 132 urban African American adolescents, 9 through 15 years of age, were analyzed to assess the stability and predictability of behaviors, intentions, and perceptions regarding drug trafficking. Drug trafficking behaviors, intentions, and perceptions were relatively stable over time. Although rates of drug trafficking were low (7%o), about two-thirds of the youth involved at baseline were still involv…
Drug Trafficking and Drug Use among Urban African American Early Adolescents
The relation between drug trafficking (selling and delivering) and drug use among young adolescents has remained poorly characterized to date. In the current study, the associations between drug trafficking, cigarettes and/or alcohol use, and illicit drug use have been explored in three different areas—self-reported behaviors, personal feelings, and perception of friends' involvement—based on a sample of 455 African American youths 9 through 15 y…

Social influences on the sexual behavior of youth at risk for HIV exposure
OBJECTIVES. Adolescents are increasingly at risk for infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and other sexually transmitted diseases, especially in poor urban minority communities. To aid the design of interventions in these communities, this study investigated the role of knowledge, attitudes, perceived parental monitoring, and peer behavior in the onset and progression of sexual behavior in children at risk for exposure to HIV. METHOD…
Perceptions of Drug Selling and Drug Use among Urban Youths
An exploratory study examining the meaning of drug use and drug trafficking among 64 urban youths and parents attending a community health center was conducted using qualitative and quantitative data-gathering techniques. Many youths had experimented with alcohol or tobacco but not illicit drugs. Drug use and drug trafficking ("running," selling, and dealing) were pervasive in the community, but youths viewed them as two separate activities. Wher…
