Oral
This session will present research on several important health behaviors and outcomes related to healthy relationships, pregnancy, safe sex practices, and HIV prevention among adolescents and young adults. The research includes quantitative data collected among diverse populations in a variety of settings, such as a national-level survey, a local school district, the criminal justice system, and a community-based after-school program. The presentations will highlight different social support systems that are important for adolescents and young adults: partner involvement, parental preferences, family functioning and beliefs, and peer norms, among others.
Session Objectives: Describe the impact of partner support on adverse birth outcomes among pregnant teens in the U.S.
Identify parents’ preference of teen pregnancy prevention programs implemented in middle schools and high schools.
Explain the relationship between family functioning and peer norms on sexual risk behaviors among young delinquent parents.
Describe advantages of active program participation on reducing HIV risk among urban youth.
