China (2006): "We're Still Young...": Changing Attitudes and HIV Risk Behavior among Youth in Kunming, China

This study used qualitative research methods to obtain information about sexual risk behaviors among male and female vocational school students and young male and female migrant workers at an employment market in Kunming, Yunnan. Twenty-three individual and dyad/triad interviews were conducted with youth aged 15 to 24 to understand underlying factors that motivate or discourage HIV high-risk youth activities, as well as motivation for condom use, especially with regard to social support and perceived risk. In addition to questions on risky sexual behavior, this study also examined drug use among youth. The research results will be used to design a one-year youth HIV risk prevention intervention.

本研究采用质性研究方法，采集云南省昆明市某就业市场内男女职业学校学生及青年男女流动务工人员的性风险行为相关信息。研究共对15至24岁的青年开展23次个人访谈与二人/三人组座谈，以明确驱动或阻碍青年艾滋病病毒（HIV）相关高风险行为的潜在动因，以及安全套使用动机，尤其聚焦社会支持与感知风险层面。除涵盖危险性行为相关问题外，本研究同时对青年群体的药物使用情况进行了考察。本研究所得结果将用于设计一项为期一年的青年HIV风险预防干预方案。
