Risk and Resiliency Factors Influencing Suicidality Among Urban African American and Latino Youth
For decades, suicide rates among minority African American and Latino young people have been stable and, when compared with Whites, relatively low. This is no longer the case, underscoring the need for documenting and understanding the problem of suicidality in this population. We report on the prevalence and predictors of suicidality among 879 urban adolescents in the Reach for Health study. All youth resided in economically disadvantaged neighb…
Adolescent Suicidality and Adult Support
Improving communication among youth, families, and service providers should be a focus of suicide prevention planning
Early Sexual Initiation and Subsequent Sex-Related Risks among Urban Minority Youth
Since the 1980s, the age at which U.S. teenagers, especially minority youth, begin having sex has decreased. There is limited information on the relationship between early sexual initiation and subsequent risky sexual behaviors.A sample of 1,287 urban minority adolescents completed three surveys in seventh and eighth grade, and 970 completed a follow-up in 10th grade. Logistic regression was used to test the effects of timing of initiation on 10t…
Video-based sexually transmitted disease patient education
OBJECTIVES. This study assessed the impact of video-based educational interventions on condom acquisition among men and women seeking services at a large sexually transmitted disease clinic in the South Bronx, New York. METHODS. During 1992, 3348 African American and Hispanic patients were enrolled in a clinical trial of video-based interventions designed to promote safer sex behaviors, including increased condom use. Patients were assigned to on…
Barriers to Condom Use in Primary and Nonprimary Relationships among Hispanic STD Clinic Patients
Educational programs to reduce AIDS and other STDs must provide participants with strategiesfor adopting safer sex practices that are both genderand culture-appropriate. These strategies include consistent condom use. We surveyed a random sample of Hispanic men and women seeking services at a public STD clinic in New York City (n = 283) and examined differences in patterns of attitudes, normative beliefs, and practices related to condom use with …
Aids-Phobia, Contact with Aids, and Aids-Related Job Stress in Hospital Workers
In a survey of 237 hospital workers involved in the care of AIDS patients at a major AIDS inpatient-care facility, negative attitudes toward AIDS and AIDS patients (AIDS-phobia) and AIDS-related job stress (AIDS-stress) were common. In multivariate analyses, AIDS-phobia is significantly higher among older staff, those having low contact with AIDS patients (AIDS-contact), and those holding homophobic attitudes. AIDS-phobic attitudes and low AIDS-c…
