- Description:
- This study focused on the beliefs of status offenders about AIDS, Use of Alcohol and drugs, and unprotected sex. A questionnaire was administered to at least 30 Status Offense Adolescents of Dekalb Juvenile Court. The questionnaire addressed the adolescents beliefs and their knowledge about AIDS, drugs and Alcohol, and unprotected sex. The population consisted of Status Offense Offenders of Dekalb County Juvenile Courts in Dekalb County, Georgia. This study assessed whether beliefs outlined in the Health Belief Model are significantly associated with condom use among sexually active adolescents; and whether condom use is less likely after drinking and drug use. The study revealed that regardless of the information that is available and the high knowledge level that adolescents have of the AIDS disease, the use of the condom was minimum.
